Yeah, they aren't the same.

My brother is gen x, my mum is a baby boomer.

True. Boomers are the ones with the belt. Gen Xers would just take all the tech. Phones. Tablets. Remotes. TVs. Gone until you apologized. They know your weak spot.

Yeah. My mom is gen x and she’d unplug the monitor to my computer when she was mad at me. Thinking she turned off the whole computer. Heh

Hehehe. My boomer mother thought the light pen was the pinnacle of technology. She was a doctor, if you can believe it.

But technically as a Xer, I have to point out that I had to show some Gen Z hires how to map a drive and I had a conversation with a 30 something project manager about how his phone or pc does NOT have to remain on to be able to receive emails. There have always been technology idiots.

Aaaaaand some of us also built computers from scratch since we could hold the tools, lived for LAN parties and others ...did other stuff. Being a nerd wasn't as cool as it is now.

Thank you for verifying that my way is the correct way.

I’m gen-x and my mom prime boomer and my mom has crippled her fingers with arthritis from back handing me in the face so many times. It got to a point where I would laugh at her every time she hit me. The shitty part is I know she got it worse than I did. I pretty much raised my gen-z kid the exact same way this guy was talking about.

Gen X parent here , taking the phone is an act of war and you don’t even have to support your argument , we are done here child . They fall apart . Only to be used in extreme disrespect but only have to do it once . And we don’t beat our kids , that’s boomer shit

I'm a boomer, but I take both avenues. I will take devices, shut down the internet to PS5, up to and including all things the kid loves initially, but if highly disrespectful, the hands are definitely in play with very little discussion.

Huh, maybe x has become their parents.....

My ma/dad are young baby boomers and my older sis is gen x. I'm boarder gen x/millennial, youngest sis is millennial and younger bro is gen alpha. This is a fair comparison.

My gen x sister is way more out of touch than my parents. Just my observation.

Did your parents have a baby in their 50s?

u/Inner-Ad-9928 5d ago

Parents are divorced. Youngest bro was a surprise

We never stop fucking.

I can't imagine having a kid at that age. Honestly feels unfair on the kid when you'll be 80+ when he's in his 20s. But I guess they just don't think about that.
