minus-squaredohpaz42@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3·edit-227 days agoBasically you’re saying that Mother Nature pioneered the Gen-X style of parenting? Edit: I meant to say the parents of Gen-X’ers (Boomers), and not to infer it was the Gen-X’ers themselves. My apologies.
minus-squaregivesomefucks@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·27 days agoHow is Gen X getting blamed for that? Helicopter parenting was just something boomers did because they tend to like micromanaging and assume they’re the smartest ever. Pretty much every generation (in America at least) that wasn’t raised by boomers was “free range”.
minus-squareklemptor@startrek.websitelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·27 days agoWait, what? I’m late Gen X, was raised by boomers as a free range, ride my bike everywhere latchkey kid, never got helicoptered. All my friends were the same.

minus-squareklemptor@startrek.websitelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·27 days agoOf course, but I know no Gen Xers who were raised how you describe. Maybe it’s regional?
minus-squaredohpaz42@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·27 days agoOh. You know what, I get how you would think that. I meant the parents of Gen-X’ers. I’ll update. My apologies.
