Generation X (1965–1980):
• Ages 46 to 61
• Looking somewhere between 29 and “none of your business”
• Didn’t grow up sheltered — we were basically turned loose outdoors
• Independent at 10; still refusing to act like adults at 50
• Our childhood would make a modern parent group chat implode
Which is why our internal mantra remains: “It’ll work out. I’ve got this.”
@Strandjunker even when we don’t got it, we do ✊🏼
@Strandjunker internal mantra: Absolutely nobody is going to help, so I might as well try and do it myself. It's gonna be fine and if it's not I'll probably be dead so I won't care anyways.
@Strandjunker did I just stumble across a boomerbook post?
indeed. boomer/x childhood probably looks like "lord of the flies" to modern parents. :)
@Strandjunker You do realize that "the modern parent group" you're making fun of are your kids, right?

...and drank from the water hose!
@misterdubs Oh, yeah! And spent the summer barefoot!
@mlanger @misterdubs That’s what I still do!
@Strandjunker @TimChaffee Also applies for many late period Boomers. 👋🏻
@Strandjunker The Gen-X Motto should be:
Oh. That's nice. Prove it can be done like you said.
@Strandjunker I appear to be not any generation (1963): not X, not a boomer
