Unreal! About half of millennials and 75 percent of Gen Zers have quit their jobs for mental health reasons!!!

Gen X

We're the ones who raised the millennials and/or Gen Y, lol.

I had a supervisor who was a micromanaging, in your face, nightmare, but I liked the job and stuck it out until I stood up for myself to her one afternoon. I was terminated the next day, hahaha.
Mmm, not so much. I suspect more of Gen X is raising Gen Z, not the millenials. If you look at the years:
Gen X = 1965 - 1979 (ending year can range from '76-'80 depending on source)
Millenials/Gen Y = 1980 - 1995/96
Gen Z = 1997 - TBD
So the very oldest among Gen Xers could be raising Gen Y, or the rest of Gen X could be raising Gen Y if they had babies really young. But think about it, the middle of Gen X would be born 1972. Add a typically average childbearing age of 25 and you have kids born in 1997. That is just outside the range of Millenials and into Gen Z. And I think Gen X is the first generation to really start having kids later in life in droves.
My personal example - Between DH, myself, his two brothers and their two wives we are all Gen X born between 1968 and 1975. Between us three couples there are 7 kids, the oldest of which was born 1999, ie. Gen Z. We are all Gen Xers raising Gen Zers.

And just to share with the class here is an interesting article I found about how Gen X is raising Gen Z and what kind of affect it is having on them.

That WAS interesting! Although there were a few parts where I was like, wtf? Especially the part about gen X'ers being so wary of drugs and S*x, due to AIDS and Nancy Reagan!! No. That did not happen like that, not at all! At least, not in my area(s).
Expand your thinking


It’s possible to disagree with an article and not respond with a personal attack you know.
Try it.
