In hindsight, how did your parents fail you?
Posted by FAHQRudy@reddit | Xennials | View on Reddit | 259 comments
w1r2g3@reddit
My parents didn't fail me. They wanted their kids to do better than them. They taught me and my sister's work ethic, confidence and to never give up. We grew up poor but never felt poor. They were always there for us and supported us through good and bad times. I can only hope my kids will think about me the way I think about my parents when they grow up.

I don't know if was just where I lived but the older genx drove the younger kids around all the time too. I remember kids in my neighborhood taking me and my friends to the beach, baseball games, basketball games, places to skate board. Granted most of them new us since we where born and the neighborhood but it was cool that the didn't bail on us when they started driving.

Do you have a full head of hair? Seems like those who go grey earlier don't lose their hair. I guess if that's your look, then that's your look. Gray hair looks old to me and OP would look good with dyed hair. He pointed out that he's not married with kids.

I can relate. 8 years of engineering school while working during that time period. It was a blur. I survived 2008 as a young engineer, but I remember a lot of older folks crying when they got laid off. It was miserable.

Middle management for about five years. Have a team of engineers ranging in age. Disappointed in the youth. Everyone our age or older have excellent work ethic. Lots of hand holding for younger folks. When we were there age, we came to our bosses with solutions, not problems.

We got cable in 1986 when I was about six. I remember taking down the big ass antenae from the roof a couple of years later with my dad. He was a hoarder and still is. That antenna is still in his attic. Not touched for over thirty five years.
