Parents Who Are Millennials Or Gen Z, I Want To Know Everything You Think Parents In Your Generation Are Doing Wrong
On today's internet, there is so much inter-generational smack talk, especially when it comes to parenting. But despite the potential toxicity... it's still endlessly fascinating to read people's parenting opinions. And we all have them!
So, in the interest of hearing allllll your judgemental thoughts, I wanted to focus on some intra-generational parental smack talk. Millennial and Gen Z parents, please feel free to tell me all the parenting problems you see most often within your generation.
Maybe it's the prevalence of iPad babies — or, perhaps more aptly, iPad parents. If you feel like parents your age just let the screen raise their baby, feel free to unleash your complaints in the comments.
Perhaps there's a parenting practice your own parents did when you were growing up that parents today don't really do anymore, and you miss it. I recently wrote an article where some teachers lamented that parents today don't really read to their kids anymore. If you have any examples like that, I'd love to hear them!
Or maybe you see a lot of positives in your peers' parenting style... but still worry that other characteristics common to your generation — issues with media literacy, for example — are going to prove unhealthy for their children. I'm fascinated by this, and would love to hear all about it!
Whatever you want to share, I'd love to hear about it in the comments down below! Or, if you prefer, feel free to check out this anonymous Google Form. Who knows — your comment may be included in an upcoming BuzzFeed article!
