I’m a Gen-Xer with millennial kids - so I see many kids of this generation.

They impress me a few ways. They are very gentle kids. Very open and accepting, and kind to others. In that regard, they are better than kids I grew up with. The brainwashing on bullying, etc... has worked. Of course, they are good with technology.

The flip side of that - they are less independent. Not many work - or are expected to work. They expect things to be provided, and have less initiative. They aren’t reactionaries, but many are natural nanny-state citizens. In that regard, the brainwashing has also worked.

Not taking a shot at you, just a pictorial observation of Gen-X parents:

My wife falls into that category, too. Sometimes, I just have to speak out to have her ease up on our youngest son, now 12. I'm one of the oldest dads out there at 60, but I can still hold my own. Here's a picture from our vacation last year, it was a "guys-only" road trip. My son loves his mother dearly, but he remarked that he enjoyed being away from her for a couple of weeks...lol.
