[quote=Anonymous]These threads about generational differences are so tiresome. People are just different. It’s not bc they’re millennial or gen x or whatever. I’m a millennial who is more “old school” in some ways (don’t think everyone needs a trophy, my kids go out and play w neighborhood kids and aren’t constantly supervised/no helicoptering, we have sit down family dinner most nights and it’s a somewhat more formal thing. You don’t wear a hat at dinner, you ask to be excused when you’re done, table manners are taught, etc.) but we are more involved in our kids’ lives than our parents were, we actually talk to our kids about their feelings, we let them express opinions and value their ideas/opinions, we talk to them much more as equal people in the family whereas in our families growing up it was more of a children should be seen and not heard and never ok to question our parents’ authority.
