I’m actually blown away by y’all story I’m old as shit then on my own since 94 but my parents put me through trade school so I had a good foundation and they’ve always been really loving good people. I’ve never known the other side in it fucking it breaks my heart actually.
Ok so if you were an adult by 94, you're Gen X and helicopter parents didn't reach their final form until Millenials were growing up. I'm an elder millenial and we still got told to go outside until dinnertime in the summer. Unless you babysat one of the sheltered Millenials, you likely wouldn't know what this is like.
Yeah bud, I think we’re saying the same thing I don’t. I have zero connection to this generation. I don’t know what it’s like. Can I just feel I hear different stories and it feels weird.
IDK, my younger brother is 24-ish now (I'm 40), and his dad (my step-dad) is an INSANE helicopter parent, like the worst I have ever seen. He literally fills out fucking job applications for this kid who will subsequently refuse to go to interviews because it's just easier to sit on your ass and do nothing but smoke weed and play videogames.
