I know, right? It's absurd. OP, you do realize your experiences with a few people from an entire generation doesn't get extrapolated to represent everyone, right?

Why don't you call your boomer parents and complain?


Because boomers are their older siblings.

Well your cousin is using it wrong so leave Gen X out of it. Your cousin thinks they had a tough upbringing and wants to play that card in every convo. There's one of those (well a bunch) in every generation! The rest of us in Gen X just did our best and kept it real.


Nope, your turn in the box.
