Most of the Gen Z kids you know have Boomer parents?

Wait… 46 yo Xer here and I have a 15 yo. Born in 1975. If they were born between 65 and 80… there’s plenty of us with Gen z kids.

Agree that seems odd. I am a very young boomer, had kids in my 30s and they are both millennials. I have a few friends with Gen Z kids but not many - unless they are men with younger wives.

Both myself and my wife are boomers first marriage we have a 21,19 and 14 year old. Pretty normal

What?? That is not normal. My mom was a young Boomer (1957) and I am 41. So even if you were born around the time of my mom, you are really really old to have kids those ages. Even the youngest boomers are 60.

+1. You may have done it but it’s definitely not normal to have a child in your mid-late 40s. I don’t know how it could be possible that, as pp said, most of the gen z kids she knows have boomer parents. The vast majority of gen z kids have gen x parents because most people have kids in their late 20s-early/mid 30s.

Not in NW DC. Elementary school parents are often in their 40s here.

They will get their turn, too. Life moves fast. I tell my kids to be kind to their elders because what goes around can come back around.

The Millennial generation has missed a HUGE opportunity to change the negative perceptions around aging and being older. They dive right into to making fun of people over 50 and discard them without realizing that they are knocking on the door of receiving the same treatment. It will happen to them, too. So far, no generation has learned the lesson. Hot girl summer turns into old woman winter just like that [snap].

I would run it from 1960 to 1980. I was always told that to be a Boomer you had to have been old enough to be drafted for Vietnam if you were male. So, really, Boomers stop a few years before 1960.

People born in the late 50s and early 60s did not have a lot of the shared experiences that marked boomers.

Agree. My mom was born in 1957 and she always said she never felt anything in common with boomers.

I was born in 78 so I'm Gen X but I don't feel that I have anything in common with someone born in 1957, either. The late 70's is definitely a micro-generation.

I was born in 1974 and one of my best friends was born in 1985 . I definitely have more stuff in common with her than someone born in 1957.
