Wow, remember the good old days when Gen X were the generation you sneered at? Whatever happened to them?

- crikli 8y ago...that are now in college. Seeing my friend’s kids posting pics in front of the same buildings I took photos in front of in the 90s always causes me to sigh, say something to my wife about how tomorrow I will be 65, and then run my fingers through hair comfortably graying.
- wglb 8y agoWait--you still have hair? Not me, other than a little.
- amyjess 8y agoHonestly, I can't wait for my friends' and relatives' kids to grow up. Why? Because once the kids are old enough to have actual conversations with, I'm probably going to have more in common with them than with their parents. There's just something about having kids that strips people of their personalities and turns them into the most boring people ever. I'm childfree, and in a lot of ways I'm still just a very big kid, and it's honestly pretty lonely now that so many people I used to hang out with when I was younger are parents now.
- sevensor 8y ago> strips people of their personalities and turns them into the most boring people ever Harsh. As a parent, I find people my own age who don't have kids to be boring. It's probably less that your friends have lost their personalities, and more that your relationships can no longer draw from the well of shared experience. For example, I have a lot of elaborate and hilarious stories revolving around poop, but I'm not going to tell them around non-parents. I've tried, but all I get is puzzled and uncomfortable looks.
- failrate 8y agoI can't eat Hershey's chocolate, because it tastes like baby vomit. Yep, I know where you're coming from.

- otikik 8y agoI don't know any of you but the poop stories intrigue me. I can contribute some vomit ones in exchange.
- a3n 8y agoA baby vomited in my mouth once. True story.
- larrydag 8y agoMore like teenagers now.
- acheron 8y agoBest Gen X joke is from the Simpsons: “Are you being sarcastic, dude?” “I don’t even know anymore.”
- ben509 8y agoI definitely recalled hearing many of the complaints about millennials, though ending every sentence as if it's a question is an annoying tic.
- beat 8y ago"Whatever happened to them?" says every Boomer and Millennial ever. Sigh.
