The little kids I meet now are brats. They listen to songs they shouldnt. They understand things only adults originally understand. They play on their greasy ipads all day.

And the kids in my generation? The other day, on the bus, an old lady was driving next to us, and she had these thick goggle ish glasses things on that I think helped her see better. My thought was, “Aw, I hope those glasses help!” Immediately, the kids behind me said, “Look, its my ugly *** grandma!” Kids laughed. Someone said, “Bet she crashes on the way to her boogery grandkids house” and kids laughed again.

WHAT HUMOR IS THAT!? THATS HORRID! WHAT THE ACTUAL FLIPPERS!?

But it isn’t entirely the kids fault. Its their bad behavior and actions. Its the millenials choice of parenting.

TEEN MOMS FIDDLING WITH HIGH SCHOOL, AN EXTRA JOB AND THE KID THEY HAVE TO CARE FOR CAN DO BETTER PARENTING THAN THE MOMS IN MY LITTLE SISTERS GIRL SCOUT TROOP.

And this is no offense to a millennial who could be reading this. Like, this isn’t everyone. Some do great. For instance, my mom does a great job with discipline. I was spanked as a kid, I was grounded, I had privileges taken away. Did I want that? No. Did I need it to learn though? Absolutely.

I feel like its also just kind of changed since I was little anyways though. Like, when I was 6, I had an (old and crusty lol) ipad, sure, but I played less than an hour tops and was outside, playing with my stuffed animals and barbies, drawing with my crayons.

6 year olds now are on their IPHONE 15 PLAYING GAMES WITH THE AVERAGE SCREEN TIME OF 6 HOURS

And you know what? They learn from their screens, too. Millennials instead of reading to their kids a good old fairy tale give their kid a phone.

Thats why I’m glad theres shows like Bluey, because kids get their source of learning from TV, and Bluey teaches good lessons and behavior, unlike, say, Peppa Pig.

Actions have consequences, millennials don’t follow through with that.

Most parents who are millennials anyways either are abusive overprotective parents, toxic parents who record their kids and post it to tiktok, or blatantly ignore their kids.

It feels theres really just a good 40% of parents who actually teach their kids, maybe not the greatest but they still parent.

I know MOST OF GEN Z (not sure about gen a) WITH A BRAIN agrees with me

Do you?

Those kids need to learn to respect the elderly!!!!! And I do agree that kids shouldn't have a phone. And if you are gonna give your kid a phone than give them a flip-phone. If kids do have a phone it at least shouldn't be an expensive one. (No offense to anyone on here that has one)

Btw what is a Millennial?

Millennials in general are not horrible parents. My 2 siblings and I were raised right, and we see that other children in society are absolute brats to their parents. So yes, majority are not cut out for parenting, but there are some who have actually worked hard to keep their kids under control

I agree but when I overhear what kids go through in my class because of their millennial parents, I see it's not their fault they act this way but it still annoys me they take out on others

There are more kids who do adult things, I'm Gen z and I never did this when I was 6 or younger I would go outside, go on my bike, play games and play with my dad or cousins Nowadays, kids are just rude and don't know how to respect adults maybe when they see an adult it kind of reminds them of their parents or it's just attention maybe both. I'm saying this as someone who gets ignored by a millennial mom and only steps up when she doesn't want to deal with how I feel.

Yeah, I agree

My friend said he was at a playgroup and there was a 4 year old talking about watching Stranger Things!!

My mom said she saw a Tik Tok of a lady saying her dog died and forgot to edit the part out where she was yelling at the kid to cry more dramtically and pout at the screen!

I'm part of Gen A and um... way worse lol. I'm the only one in my classes, along with a few others, who doesn't interrupt the teacher, and play those stupid sound effects in the middle of class.

Yesterday I GOT FLASHED so that was scarring.

OH, and I don't have a phone and I have never willingly watched tiktok. And also, I have very few social media accounts, and I'm not allowed to have them anyways (but I do have discord >:D, I am a sneaky boi)

so yeah, millennials are horrid parents sometimes.

No, 2011 is Gen Z.

Being born in 2011 would make you 12, and 2010 is 13.

2010 is in the middle of Gen Alpha.

What-

Nobi, I think you have it backwards lol. Gen A comes after Gen Z an with your logic then 2010 is gen Z and 2011 is gen A

I think that Generation Alpha begins in September 2012. (School years)

I was born in July of that year, so that makes me the end of Gen Z.

I cannot agree more with any of these points, this reflects my stance almost perfectly.

(And I'm pretty sure their average screen time is way more than 6 hrs)
by (912k points)

Yeah. My average screen time on some weekends is 12 hours, and I don’t regret a single thing.

But it’s on my tablet and not my phone, because my phone’s screen is too small to spend over 6 hours on.

Yeah, see. I guess that explains how you have so many points, my average is like 15.

Im on my ipad for about 2 hours? I get a time limit. My average goes from like 1 hr 45 mins to 2 hrs and 6 mins

And my mom gets on my case about watching tv too so my average electronic time is probably about 2 hrs 45 mins not counting using chromebooks for schoolwork

Absolutely, as a member of Gen Z/Alpha I do want to say that our kids are horrible

We have litteral 4TH GRADERS listening to songs marked explicit, dating and Swearing. When I was in 4th Grade, I pretended to be Psychic and played adopt me, Not do TikTok dances to a song with 400 swears a minute

and I am 13, and Still the kids at my school don't act their age. Everyone is saying full-on Racial SLURS, Getting involved in serious relationships and romantizing breaking rules. And here I am, watching Moomin and Being into Nordic stuf at 13 years old

Man I miss the old days, where you can be accepted for acting your age

Me too, I wish I could do stuff normally without worrying about wearing makeup, looking good and presentable so I’m not made fun of or having not listened to the latest song by Ice Spice…
