Agree. As a PP noted, GenZ is often self-centered and too focused on their own emotional validation to look at the big picture of familial relations over the grand scheme of life. My elderly mother was incessantly patient with me for many years, was (and is) incredibly loving, but is certainly not perfect. She obviously didn't approve of every adult decision I made, but neither did I expect her to. I love her to death and happily listen to repeated stories because in the overall calculus of life she has been pretty darn good.

I feel like with GenZ if you don't embrace (or monetarily support) every questionable young adult decision, you get labelled controlling or toxic. My current pet peeve is being considered annoying because I refuse to allow pot smoking in our home (I hate the smell). I don't care what they do at school or in their own apartments, but I do expect that my preferences in my home be respected and honestly, I am annoyed at having to repeatedly explain that position.

Have they never heard of edibles? Jesus.[/quote]

LOL.  I am the person who posted that and that is EXACTLY what I said to them---"Go eat an edible.  Don't stink up my house."[/quote]
