[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm an older X that had kids late. So, most of my peers have kids that are older than ours, but I saw them parenting before I had kids. Most of the parents of my children's peers are millennials and I see them when our kids get together. I have seen both types (relaxed vs helicopter) parents from every generation. I think the generalizations are stereotypes and you can't really stereotype based on age or generation. [/quote] I'm a Xennial (right on the cusp in 1980) and I agree with this. My friend group spans 15 year easily, the younger being firmly millenials, the older being firmly Gen X. There's not one age group that helicopters more than the other. These types of anecdotes are something OP is observing in her friend group, but you aren't able to make sweeping generational assumptions based on just your friends. It runs the gamut.[/quote]
