Time Magazine: Help! My Parents are Millennials

[erbear]

I'm reading this article right now and since all of us (I believe?) are Millennials, this is really interesting! I especially can relate to the conflicting parenting advice, constant online fighting, and babies in social media parts.

I didn't think I had many FB friends, but I just checked and I have 673 - yikes!! I'm glad this article wasn't negative, like I thought the title might suggest. I was also surprised that our generation has a higher percentage of stay at home parents than the boomers.

It says I can't read it unless I subscribe to Time magazine . I'm pretty sure I'm Gen X though.

Same on all accounts. Maybe only millennials can read it?

I don't subscribe and I can read it! Weird. I'll see if I can copy and paste it later, because, yeah, it's not a negative article.

[stinybean]

Lol billyhorrible could be.

I think I qualify as a millenial and I can't read it.
Is it a tapatalk vs on computer issue? I'm using the app.

[erbear]

I never use my computer anymore! Maybe Time magazine decided since I originally read it in print form I am the awesome millennial allowed access?

Very much Gen-X here.

[tatersalad]

Gen X here too. Golden Girls unite!

ETA: I tried to read it after a Google search and it won't let me either.

What constitutes GenX versus a Millenial?

I believe the cut-off is the early 1980s?

[gilder40]

I did some researching, and something I saw said pre-1985 is GenX and after is Millenials. Then something else gave the general description of early 1980's as the cutoff. Then something else I saw said 1981 was the cut off.

I was born in 1982, but I definitely have more characteristics of a GenX kiddo than a Millenial. My parents were baby-boomers...they just had me really late.

If you remember high school with no cell phone then that to me means you are gen x. Or if your cell phone looked like this

That's fancy. I remember when my mom got a "car phone" and that was a big deal!

[baytosa2013]

Gen X over here too! And my first technological communication type gadget was a pager. I also can't read the article so there's that's LOL (which I just read only old people use because haha and emoji's are the young folks way to now laugh out loud)

1980 and earlier is Gen X and 1981 and later is millennial. I only know this because H was born in 1980 and I was born in 1984, and he teases me for being from a different generation than him.

Exactly mine and SOs years lol. He teases me also.
