Why is Gen X different? Why are built different?

The sad reality is we could walk unsupervised to schools and school bus stops. It was great. We were so lucky. 🙏 We are the last feral generation.

These things would be a lot funnier if they stopped posting the split screen fake laugh garbage. !!!!

Corporal punishment built character and kept children in line.

It sure did. I just don't know how We went so wrong raising the next generation 🤔

@IsHate45737 I think we just tried to make things better for our kids easier on them than we had it. But looking back I wouldn't change anything that I went through because it made me who I am today. But bringing up my kids I didn't see it that way.

My mother would bundle us up in onesie snowsuits, Eskimo snow boots shove us out the door at 32 below F and say "come back when the street lights dim". If I cried her response was "you better be bleeding from head to toe"...and sometimes I was. Mercurochrome was her only answer to such bleeding and back outside I went. My dad had a red 72 rag top jeep and when he took the rag top off, I would swing on the roll bar like an ape as he drove down the street.

We were in the back of the station wagon waving at everybody behind us no seatbelts just you know riding in the backseat and rough house thing with our siblings.

We took a trip from upstate New York to Kentucky sitting in lawn chairs in the back of pickup truck my dad had.

❣️🙏✝️♾️❤️‍🔥👣🌻🦋 💯♥️🎯🤣♥️🤣♥️🤣🎯♥️💯 Oh my gosh this is so true we were told to get outside by 10:00 a.m. or stay inside and clean the house so obviously the choice for a kid is, heck yeah I'll sit outside in the blazing sun and drink out of a disgusting hose (what kind of nasty chemicals were those hoses made out of anyway?) We'd get on our bike and ride anywhere we wanted to, knowing we better not get in trouble because corporal punishment was still the norm Ahhh yes, growing up in the good old days where no one wanted to abduct you because they had a house full of their own kids waiting at home to raise Thank you so much 🙏 for sharing this hilarious walk through my own 🤔 💭 memories of kinder 🙃 gentler days no matter how emotionally stunted and in need of therapy later in life we became

And when we got out of line we got our Asses whipped, and that's why we know what RESPECT is.

Yep

I agree with everything she said. Had I not fallen ill I'd still think I'm 25. We still listen to great music, I dress how I want to dress and was super active

The weak Gen Xers were weeded out early 🤣🤣🤣

Love Gen X

She's right I live through it and it was the best time of my life

That fake laughing from start to finish ruins the post ( some of it’s funny ) and why black & white ?

I agree about that useless laughing but I had nowhere to cut that out I wish I did.

I’m glad you weren’t offended, there’s loads of videos getting ruined on Twitter, the ones with people laughing hysterically ( audio ) are worse, I enjoy funny clips most days 😁 I wish I knew how to edit and copy stuff myself 🤓

I should've been dead decades ago.

Gen X 1965-1980. I’m 1976 so on the tail end, but yes! 💯😂

We are definitely built differently! Thank God I was born in 1952 and have survived everything that has happened to this day! We are a tough bunch! Wouldn’t have it any other way! 👍🙏🙌👏

I agree. I don't think I would change anything about the way I grew up. Mind you if you ask me how I felt about it back then my answer might have been different 🤣

Proud Baby Boomer here! Yeppers! She speaks the truth! What a great childhood we had!

lol, my sunscreen was butter or baby oil

Correct! 😂

Damn... Good recap in 90 seconds.. she's on point

Watching that girl to the left laughing looks soo exaggerated and ridiculous. Its annoying and completely makes the entire thing difficult to watch

Tell it sister

That’s how we rolled

@BillyHagerman Some of us got JESUS , the difference between u , and me…

So true

I love ❤️ her:)

She is brilliant 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

She had me at Noxzema and regrets LOL

This really is worth a listen. I love this woman and I don’t even know her and she is so right.

Ffs, n ok w I know why I’m such a pragmatic but don’t give a fuk kind of man.

Yeah...I Know...I Still Ride A Bike In 10 Degree Weather 9 Miles To Work And My Legs Succ!
