[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Im gen x with a 9 year old. My parents were silent generation. My parents were loving, sacrificed, and didn’t tolerate bs. I parent the same way but am more permissive because i have more time and disposable income. I don’t believe in participation trophies after the age of 9. Im strict about behavior expectations but I’m more open about emotions and more forgiving of kids being kids, i don’t care about swear words- i care about proper grammar, manners, and being kind. I am shocked at kids today being mean, trash talking, saying dumb things- telling kids they cheated or don’t belong someplace. I can’t believe how many mean kids there are- what makes them think they can just say anything? Sure think it but why walk up yo a kid and say I am better than you- thats some millenial bs parenting right there…[/quote]

Frankly, I think that’s old school Gen X and boomer parenting.  Kids don’t say that stuff unless they hear it at home.  [/quote]

They hear it on their phones, not from their families.[/quote]
