You can't tell someone from Late Generation X that someone in Earlier/Mid Generation X are their surrogate parents. They grew up with Mommy and Daddy. Some people from Late Generation X are so good they are like knighted parents, but in general the parental unit of Late Generation X is Baby Boomers.
Kids today are treated very caringly by younger Generation X, but people like me are not treated like their baby mostly. So, in the end people like me lose out on what's given to them.
Moreover, some people, like me, in a way are not in a position where they want to get married nor feel like having kids. I like talking to friends.
"People who need people .. are the luckiest people .. in the world."
Also, what of the movement of trashing anyone who is not a Late Boomer? It's catching on, and it's a sin, wrong, and untrue. I'm a bit worried people are saying Late Boomers need each other and their Later Millennial children, who are the youngest of their generation of offspring. So, they forget about their Generation XY kids. Early Boomers don't have parents just like that, but they are older. In essence, my generation is not getting what they need.
