I’m on the older end of GenZ and my parents are middle aged happily working good jobs to support themselves and the new set kids they decided to have.

GP really just seems like they wanted to bitch and whine about “kids these days”.

Not really. Both things can be true. Some Gen Z/Ys absolutely loathe their parents, some for good reason and some, not so much.

That’s not the point. This was not about whether someone “loathes” their parents or not. It’s about a feeling of responsibility and financial support. GenZ is at the oldest ~26. Most of them are probably not in the position to brankroll other people and many of their parents are not helpless seniles anyway. The youngest are still fucking children. Are we seriously expecting teenagers to see themselves as responsible for their parents?

And shit if we’re making sweeping generalizations about generations based on personal anecdotes, both my GenX parents had very poor antagonistic relationships with their parents. So don’t try to pin everything on people who came after you.
