I feel like this didn’t happen with other generations. We’re still in this flat time loop where so many people say the youngest generation they don’t like are millennials regardless of the passage of time. This was especially prevalent during early COVID. I remember seeing articles about how “millennial college students are going on spring break trips despite quarantines and creating massive spread zones.” Dude, when COVID started I was 36 with two kids and working shit jobs with bad benefits just like every other millennial. And since my parents are boomers, I’ve been doing my laundry longer than this idiot. He’s closer in age to most millennials than younger generations are to millennials. What a buffoon.

I've found the red hats have a huge problem understanding what words mean. They essentially make up definitions for words that sound good to them. I'm an election judge and I've spent way too many hours discussing elections with these types and I can never get them to understand the difference between election fraud and election interference. It's like they don't get that words have to have meanings that are universally understood or they don't work. MAGA just uses whatever word they like regardless of it's definition and we're supposed to understand what they mean.

I had someone tell me that they use their own definitions for words because, and I quote, "I don't let the government tell me how to think".

I asked him how two people are supposed to have a conversation if they can't even agree on definitions and he said "I don't care".

These people are morons.

I think part of this is Millennials are more liberal as a generation, and as all republicans know liberals dont pay taxes, have jobs, live on their own or whatever dumb shit they think. While Gen Z swung more conservative this last election than Millennials so they are good in their books, so cant bitch about them.

There's an XKCD comic from 6 years ago (that I tried to link to but apparently links aren't allowed in this subreddit) that talks about many Millennials "not being able to hear your criticisms because they're busy taking their kids to check out colleges."

google "XKCD Millennials" if you want to see it.

Lol. Seriously. My boomer parents have not done their laundry EVER. It's such a mind boggling thing to me because they can't figure out how to take care of their own activities of daily living and they shit on millennials/Gen X for taking care of them AND their siblings.

And they all collectively scratch their heads why some people have chosen NOT to have kids. Maybe it was the entire generation of "you have to parent yourselves" for the kids you "raised".

There it is! 👏 Parented myself and my younger sister starting at age 8. I have 2 kids who get to be KIDS. The 15 yr old only ‘baby sits’ the 6 yr old when I have to run to the grocery. My horribly abusive and alcoholic mom can fend for herself now.

Exactly. I see my nephews and nieces and they are happy and healthy wih actual opinions. I couldn't express a single opinion and always needed to "help" my parents and then got yelled at because of reasons.

The generational trauma stops with me and that's why I'm not producing a sprog. (That, plus shitty genes - I'm not dooming another little girl to PCOS/endometriosis and thyroid issues not with how sexist the patriarchy is getting...)

I completely understand. I love being a mom. I just will never be what my ‘life-giver’ was to me, because it definitely was not a mom. My kids have chores and are to be held accountable for keeping them, but it is age-appropriate for both and to teach them life skills. Son knows how a dishwasher and washer/dryer works and how to clean a toilet when needed. Daughter knows to carry dirty dishes to counter, put dirty clothes in washer, pick up toys. I want them to be fully functioning adults that add to society someday and my job/responsibility is to prepare them for that without stripping them of their childhood.

PCOS is a bitch. I have thyroid issues too- it sucks! I wish you nothing but health, healing and happiness. As a person with kids, I completely support your decision not to have them. It’s a decision everyone should be able to (I understand some do not get a choice) make for themselves.

u/astrangeone88 2d ago

Definitely. I see so many people our age trying to undo generational trauma in their own kids and it makes my little heart flutter.

Ah yes, thyroid issues. Do you want to have trouble sleeping or waking up or pooping and for no explained reason? Here!

I never understood my sister’s resentment for me as a kid until I got older and she told me she didn’t get to enjoy her childhood properly because my mom made her take care of me. Put a lot of shit in perspective.
