This is Gen Z's ultimate example.
Watch Video.
I honestly hope so. If it’s someone making fun of these people, I can dig it.
I stopped into a drugstore for a couple of things yesterday morning and there were two girls/women behind me in line talking in that annoying upspeak pattern. I wanted to ask them what part of California they were from.
If I were her Dad, I tell her to take a deep breath, and hold it.
OMG I am in TOTAL agreement with her dad SCREW HER, what an ungrateful little bitch!!!
A couple of years ago, I was driving out of my neighborhood residential streets and a teenaged looking girl pulled out in front of me from her side street.
We both hit the brakes hard coming to a screeching halt just inches apart. We could see each other thru the windshields very clearly.
She then wagged her CELL PHONE at me, and scowled as if I was at fault for interrupting her conversation!.............
People are telling me these types of videos are fake put-ons. I really don’t know, but it does seem too ‘perfect’............
“Walking down the aisle”? If she is referring to an aisle in a Christian CHURCH, she needs to realize that at the moment of marriage she is no longer an INDEPENDENT woman, but rather joins into “one flesh” with a husband. If she persists in this egotistical ideation of an “independent woman” into her marriage, then chronic disagreement is in her (near!) future.
Furthermore, if she is referring to an aisle in a CATHOLIC CHURCH, then she should take seriously the Catholic teaching that, in the sacrament of marriage, the ministers are the two people stating the vows publicly; so she and her fiance’ should enter the church and walk down the aisle together.
I haven’t done it in a long time, but that chickie wagging her cell phone at me might have caused my middle finger to pop up.
The Gen Zeros’ motto ...Gimme Gimme Gimme
It was like she was saying “Can’t you see I’m on the phone?!?!?!”...............Maybe I was misinterpreting it but that’s what she did.......
Correct. She seems to be just fine being “independent” (whatever THAT means...) and throwing social norms and traditions out the window. EXCEPT, of course, that one tradition that has the Bride’s family paying for the wedding...
Independent Thinker, lady, means you pay for your wedding. Our daughters knows that we won’t pay for a wedding, yet we will pay half not all.
Oh it “just doesn’t feel right to you” that your parents won’t pay for your wedding when you want to thumb your nose at parts of the wedding like your dad walking you down the aisle, that are important to them?
So you’re “not a fan” of that tradition but you sure are a BIG fan of having mommy and daddy pay for everything, huh? LOL!
Your parents are teaching you another valuable life lesson here. He who pays the bills calls the shots. You want to be an “independent thinker”? That’s fine! That’s great! You can be financially independent too then, honey. LOL!
It appears daughter dearest is burning the bridges. Not Dad.
No, I have seen and heard many of these young women posting video's, complaining about something or other. She appears to be some sort of "influencer". I see this on Charlotte Dobre's channel all the time. Charlotte does delicious reaction videos on this kind of mind-set.
To become an influencer, she posts videos on YouTube, TikTok or somewhere, and has a following. Usually the following is no more than a few tens of thousands, and that makes her think she is all that, and a bag of chips.
For some reason they always make their videos while putting on makeup. Apparently it's an influencer thing.
I don't think that was a gracious posting. It looks to me that she is an "influencer", and was posting to her TikTok channel, complaining about her parents for fun and profit.
I have seen the same procedure many times, and the young women are always putting on makeup while they complain about something.

I dunno about that, but I’ve heard things about that “genius heater” they advertised might be lacking in the accuracy department.
Fake
The idea that the wedding is “the bride’s day” has become seriously overblown. I don’t watch the “Say Yes To The Dress” sort of shows, but I see promos for them, and the level of self-centeredness is disgusting. This idea that “everything must be perfect” is another amoral attitude. Marriage is not just about the actual wedding, and to spend thousands on a “dream” wedding is an exercise in self-indulgence that often follows through in the marriage, with unrealistic expectations and resulting disappointment.
I agree with everything you said there. But if the bride is determined to have her “perfect day” (whatever that is, in her mind) I say try to give it to her.
Within reason, of course! Don’t alienate a daughter over something relatively minor. But if she demands you take out a mortgage to fund a $150,000 wedding in Tahiti, that might be a hill to die on.
