The first couple seasons were nice (Why old people assume we, gen z won't know about shows, like now they gonna assume don't have ever watched Dr House????)

A large number of gen x and millennials seems to have grown up to have a "this is how the adults acted when I was a kid, so its only fair for me to shit on kids now", and its disgusting.

When people don't know any better, we're all very much "monkey see monkey do".

A lot of us grew up with examples of the kinds of parents we don't want to be, not many of us grew up with good examples of the kind of parenting we would like to provide.

…gen x were abandoned in playgrounds just for predators to take. And two generations before that parents were selling their kids to pay rent.

Which followed with generations of helicopter parents. So they tried something different.

I’ve seen kids grow up without being told they’re loved and then turn around and tell their own kids they are loved every day.

Ppl figure it out by experimenting.

Point is: if you’re trying, That is the best you can do. There is no manual.

Yeah, I'm also a millenial who had shitty parents. There's too many of us who will gladly complain about our parents/teachers/coaches, but then get all pissy when you point out they're treating gen z like the boomers treated us.

It’s not an assumption. Lots of kids your age don’t know about our stuff and that’s fine! The same was true when we were kids.
