Did Boomer Parents Have It Easier Than Millennial Parents? 

Yes! And, missing your school and having to wait for it to go through them all again was a very real struggle lol

@@ashb2404 it really was a pain, for sure!!

Or you DIDN'T miss it, it just wasn't there so you waited for the list to scroll again, hoping and praying and crossing your fingers that it would be there on the next round.... Lol! 🤣😂

I can still remember the feeling when being told, "you can go back to bed school has been cancelled!" Best sleep ever!! I grew up in northeast Texas so our city did not have all the snow equipment and all that good stuff so if there was just a small amount of snow or ice we knew we were staying home!! 😂

I can remember feeling sorry for the kids who lived in places where snow was a guarantee so their cities were always prepared for the inclement weather, poor kiddos were going to school regardless!! 🥴

Well it's a choice...

That’s the choice 😂

Eat or don’t. Live or don’t. Life was so much simpler.

@@insertname193 Exactly

People still don't believe me when I tell them I ate everything my parents gave me. I was an adult before I told my mother I didn't like beef stew. She thought it was my favorite and would make it for me when I moved out for special occasion. She thought i loved it because I would eat it so fast haha. And after I casually mentioned it one day the hurt on her face did Not make me feel better for telling her. She wasn't mad, didn't say anything rude but I could tell . And I do like it now anyway ha. Think my head was like nope you're gonna like it damnit hah.

OMG saaaaaaaaaaammmmmmme! 😂😂😂😂😂

My mom would just be fuming in Merry go round about how expensive these ugly clothes were 😂😂😂 and she hated all my plaid!!! Awww the 90s would go back in a heartbeat

My daughter paid $50 for a pair of "distressed" Levi's as a teen. Her dad had a fit. I distressed my own jeans in the 80s so, I was only shocked at the price. Told her she should have bought the regular ones and I would have helped her distress them. 😛

@@branbran0609 OMG Merry go round!!!🤣 I'm on the west coast, anyone remember millers outpost??

Honestly I asked my mom to just give me the money and let my pick the clothes. She had no style. I am pretty good about letting my style evolve with what is current (adhd so I get bored) but my mom's sense of style was stuck in 1980.

I think the last one is Game of Thrones

No Way 🤣🤣

I’m your 1991 daughter from another mother

I’m turning 32 next year 😮

That's three different generations right there.

what was the most fun is teaching my kids how to diy distress their pants so they'd look cool. And teaching them how to do punk hair and make up during their punk/goth/scene fazes. And having them love to raid my closet for vintage 90's clothes. And to watch my youngest buy clothes that look just like I wore in the 80's mixed with my early 90's wardrobe cracks me up. And music.. I have replaced my music collection 3 times as they all steal something different from me in whatever phase they are going through.. But there is no more fun thing than singing at the top of your lungs to the latest stuff on the radio in front of your kid's friends after your kid says something about you being old and out of touch.. "oh yea? then give me my Bowie t-shirt back.. creep"

Nice to see another GenX mom in the comments!!! But my parents weren’t boomers. They were silent gen, so not many of my type survived childhood. Lmao 😂

I am 47 and my Mom would sing that song to me when I was a kid. That one and Purple People Eater. My Boomer parents were a bit strange, though.

I'm 38. My mom got so angry that I came home with the Metallica S&M album. She was all "do you even know what S&M is?!" And I replied, "yes! But that's not what this means, it's 'symphony and Metallica'! Ugh!" (Insert my eyerolls). I won and got to keep the album, but it really was a war of attrition that I won and nothing more.

They sell the lucky charms marshmallows at Big Lots. It comes in a giant bag, in case you ever needed a giant bag of dehydrated marshmallows for an emergency (the cereal never quite adds enough to the box)

It's me... I'm the sister. 🤣

Its hard being the middle child sometimes.

'60 here. My grandmother secretly made off with my favorite well-worn jeans (my mother helped her). They reappeared as a Christmas gift with beautiful patchwork and embroidery. Loved those pants.

@@tammarabg8174 l bet they were absolutely beautiful!!! Needlework is an act of love.💜

Yes!!! 🤣

Lmao “yeah it’s music like, most of the time, sometimes it’s weird stuff like ‘XXX BBC CUCK BACKDOOR’ but I just wanted Eminem soooo… but thanks for the sick new CD Burner mom & dad!”

My mom: It'll cause viruses~ Also my mom: *downloads a million custom cursers and toolbars from sketchy popup ads*

My kids all went through a DUDE phaze.. at several points in raising kids I was DUDE MOM DUDE in conversation, and it became so common I would answer to Mom Dude... especially from their friends..

Currently doing that with my eleven year old niece…it’s a lot of fun! You absolutely should give your nephew words your sister hates. How does she feel about the word “moist?”

@@MountainPearls she would have hated it, and most definitely would have let me have it over that. But unfortunately for myself and my niece and nephew, my sister unexpectedly passed away in 2020. So now I still do things I knew would annoy her, but with a look upward, with love and brotherly annoyance. Just to let her know I love her.

My school started with a W too. It was actual torture trying to catch it.

As the child of a boomer.... and the parent of millennials...millennial.... I'm dieing.... I can relate on so many levels having had the patent and watching my own kids parents!

That's crazy, I'm also from western New York and my school started with a Y! I miss those days, nowadays the school I work at is in the south, so we rarely get snow days.

Everyone knows the dates on those old home videos were incorrectly set 🤣

@@Annaie1234lmao 😂 touché! 🏆

Yay! A fellow GenX’er 😄 Ran to the store today….end of June…90*F outside, wearing ripped jeans and a flannel with a “wife-beater” underneath. Still living the dream. 😂😂😂😂 I believe our generation had the most comfy clothes and at 50 I can wear the same as I always have without looking like I’m trying to be younger than I actually am. ✌🏻😆

Yes! Are you a fellow member of little ol' Generation X?😊

You’re a GenX’er aren’t you? 😊

@melissadunton3534 technically a millennial, but since I was born in 85, I relate heavily with Gen X.

@@kristenbrissey8437 ok. Makes sense!!! I’m an X’er so I relate to both millennials and boomers. My brothers are boomers and my son is a millennial (he’s 30). My parents were Silent Gen… if I wasn’t bleeding or dead I knew that I didn’t need to “bother” them with any details. 😂😂😂

Hahahahaha! ‘It’s just a bullet wound’

Probably for the best considering how my dad turned out

Definitely for the best considering how I turned out. Raised by grandparents

Good. I was raised by boomer parents and ended up with a personality disorder and a slew of other problems because of them.
