They're a product of a soft society. Even though we've been in wars for 20 years, they're optional and they don't have to participate. Doesn't affect them back home. Goes to the old saying: Hard times create strong men, strong men create good times, good times create weak men, weak men create hard times. We're in the weak men phase. It's gonna get hard again sooner rather than later. I believe that. X2

I wonder sometimes. I’ve got 4 boys 12-18. All good boys. The 16 year old came to me this afternoon and asked. “Umm Hey dad, Umm I was wondering if, Umm me and my girlfriend could go down to the lodge and watch football.” Really!!! 2700 square feet and 14 beds. I looked at him and said “Son” he said “I thought so”
Good lord! I couldn’t believe he even asked. Kinda disappointed me, but after a couple hours, some thinking and a discussion with the wife. I remembered how I was at that age. That being said; I do really worry about the junk being pumped into the brains filled with mush in our current times.

^^^^^^^^ Although I don't know your son, in general I wouldn't necessarily question his motives; the girl's the other other hand....... It might be a little revealing to know who's idea it was.

I know several Generation Z guys who have a very good work ethic, while on the surface it may appear otherwise;glueto their phones, etc.. But when it comes to work, they surprise me. Very conservative values also.

I think she’s a nice girl. Good family. Said they were going to meet their cousins there. The boys and their cousins are together all the time, but I’m not stupid. Like I said I was that age once

I began wondering, after the comments, exactly what generation I was in. I know that the Boomers started in 1946 and I was born in 41. Here is a chart it said on the page also that in some cases generation may overlap. Well, mine is one that I can't say I ever remember hearing of before. "The Silent Generation". I guess that why I never hear it before, it was silent. My friends and I like to call it "The Best Generation". Not because we were the best, but year of late 40s and early 50s were a great time to grow up in the U.S. Garry-

Pawnee, I was that age once and it doesn’t seem that long ago, we all remember how it was. I don’t think you got anything to worry about just based on the fact that he came to you and asked.

Was at the mvd earlier taking care of business, a young adult (maybe 20 yo, had a "man bun" and different color hair) had to come help the lady helping me and tells me...... getting some adulting done today, ha? I looked at him confused and said nope, that's everyday. Mind you I was with my kids.
What's with the attitude of not being a "man" or "woman", acting like being responsible is stupid?
Its too late now (always is, it seems), but I would have asked, "Hairbun, why did you chose this very moment to fart from your mouth in front of my kids? That is not very ladylike at all." (The kids understand "fart", and it is funny to them too.)

I believe that now is the time to fight back against the hairbuns. I'm thinking, start the disrespectful slow chant of "Hair....bun, Hair....bun, Hair....bun." whenever one is encountered. Who's with me?! Blouse-wearing, poodle walking, insignificant sissy-pants. What's up with the mandals with socks? Skinny jeans? Pointless, crooked, randomly scattered tattoos? They think that they are trying to look different, while ending up all looking the same.

pawnee, my mom was google. once in HS I was grounded and was to be home after school. Well I had to get my check after school as I needed gas. I stopped at my buddies who lived nearby. 10 minutes later guess who rolled up? Yup my mom rolled up slowly she saw my truck in the yard. She didn't even know where he lived so how she found out beats me.
52Carl, I didn't want to cause a seen and ruin the day I had planned for the kids.

I agree. don't forget the ball cap with a straight bill and the stickers on it or buying jeans with holes and tears in them.

Boomers, gen x, etc all of em got weirdos. We just notice it more now cause there’s round the clock information highways everywhere and things of importance just don’t happen that often so the gaps get filled with it. I’ve met very few millennials that actually fit the stereotype. I suppose that's due to where you live. In IL, I only ever saw 2 millennials that did NOT fit the common stereotype... here in MS it's quite different... with 75% of blacks fitting the stereotype and maybe 25% of whites. In IL it seemed mostly due to ignorance.... you'd ask them... do you support raising taxes? No. Ok, do you support owning a gun? Of Course! What about abortion? I don't agree with it. Illegals? I think they should come into the country legally or not at all. OK, good... so who are you voting for??? [Insert] Hillary or Bernie of course! Ugh.

I’ve met very few millennials that actually fit the stereotype. Pretty much. I'm no fan of adulting myself, but it's gotta be done! There are some folks that I can't say they even get it done... lots of entitled mfs out there.
