I agree with that. I was born in 63 but after Kennedy. Don't fit with the boomers. I am an Xer and I think by in large we have been a depressed generation. Most of the things going on in the life of the country and culture pretty much sucked until 84 when Reagan turned things around.

My boomer parents were all about finding their own happiness. We raised ourselves.

Def, you’re not so diff from many of us Boomers, except in the number of siblings. With so many kids and so few nannies, our Greatest Gen parents, like so many gens before them had little time for individuals. Moreover, until pretty recently, I think most kids always raised themselves. As ever, childhood’s end comes when you realize you’re on your own.
