My boomer mother will only ever understand dishonest harmony. The difference is if your kid said you didn’t hug them enough, you’d make efforts to hug them more. Some boomers and Gen X do not change.

But a lot of the resentment stems from their inability to acknowledge any failing. Millennials seem ready to acknowledge they will sometimes fail and own up to it, which paves the way to repair.

I think you’re correct. I think one of the differences is, yes our kids are gonna come to us one day and say hey, this hurt but we won’t deny them or their feelings.

And this is why I say that as parents we will always be a day late and a dollar short with meeting the needs of our kids… From time to time ask questions like how do you know I support you? What are

I’m a Gen X who definitely over parented my Gen Z kids. I gave them the parent I wanted but now realize it may not be what they needed.

THIS. I see far too many young people that lack basic coping, communication & life skills. You ain't never played outside until the street lights came on by yourself & IT SHOWS

Probably not a big one, but I feel like posting our kids as content is going to be one of those things. Similar to how most Disney kids struggle as adults

I feel like every millennial parent I know is actively unpacking this, and open to criticism. And I think that’s ultimately the difference … are you open to learning better and doing better?
