friends, can you help me?

i hear about millennials, gen x-ers, etc, but who in the spherical world are they? :rolleyes:

i know my husband is a baby-boomer, and i made it into that category by six months.
but say, our children were born between 1981 and 1995... where do they fit?

is this just an American thing? if it is, apologies for bringing it up on an international site. :eek:

and thanks for any help! :)

Gen-x ers are after boomers and millennials are after gen-x.

I think gen-x starts around mid 1960's and goes to mid 80's. Then millennials go from mid 80's to 2000's...

I have a theory about that me, me, me stuff...

I believe that narcissistic parents train their children to think about serving them most of the time. Basically the narcissistic parent puts themselves before their children all the time. With the exception of basic food, clothes and shelter...

These children born to narcissistic parents think about others before themselves. They were trained their whole lives that way. Then they have children. They basically give their children all the things they were deprived of when they were children. Creating the narcissism that they grew up with, with their parents.

Its basically an every other generation thing. Until you can break the cycle by coming to Christ...

did you just call me a narcissist? :p
you wouldn't be far off in the natural, i'm afraid.

i like your theory... and now i have to think a bit about where my parents, my husband and myself fit into it.

but first...

Oh, the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable are His judgments and unfathomable His ways! (Rom 11:33)

yeah... i might just stay there :)

Everybody is at least a little bit narcissistic.

I was just being really general. Broad brush painting...

Thank God for the Lord Jesus Christ.

The world they live in is not spherical. Millennials and gen x-ers fit on the flat plane we call earth.

I believe the earth is shaped like a nutshell.
I'm a nutcase living in a nutshell.

...that's pretty much my thoughts in a nutshell.








Ellie, this is Generation I or iGeneration.

My parents always let us play. We didn't have to do anything. That's just because their parents let them do everything, clean the windows, my mother worked and gave money to her mother and sister who were drinking coffee. They wanted to do it different. I think a lot of the older folks had that. Let kids be kids, because they weren't allowed to. What you see a lot is that those grandpa's and grandma's now raise their grandkids because the ones from the seventies and eighties care more about themselves and when they have done their duty they dump 'em in an old people's home. The younger generation only cares for themselves and the old people get a minimum income and loose what would normally be savings, but here the idea was that the young give money to the older ones so they don't have to work when they're 65+, so they paid for their older generation and now noone pays for them.
