[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm Gen X with teens, and what I see is too many Millennial parents not adjusting to being parents. As in, they want someone else to do the heavy lifting on this whole parenting thing.

I've been outside gardening and overheard Millennial parents tell their kids to "shut up" as they stared at their phones on the walk home from the bus stop, as if they're somehow angry they have to parent their own kids. It is just so strange. It is at if many Millennial couples are constantly at war as to who is "stuck" with the kids today.

It's time for some parents to grow up.[/quote]
What? That’s not my experience at all. I only see anxious millennial parents hovering above their 3 year olds at the playground in order to avoid human contact with other adults around them.

This is not unique to millennials by any means. Gen X-er here who’s seen this going on for a long time. Can we not turn this into yet another millennial bash? It’s getting tired.[/quote]
