"Look Timmy, I get you want me to be your 'mom' or whatever, but have you considered that my do-nothing job that pays me like 80k a year makes me feel kinda alienated sometimes? I'm the real victim.

Anyway I've decided we're going to join a MLM scheme/cult that I heard about on AOL. So I'm going to be busy, you'll have to make your own Mac-n-Cheese tonight."

Tbh I just find dealing with parents (of any generation) difficult in general. There are people my age who are now parents and it really feels like we're speaking a different language sometimes. It's probably inevitable and not inherently bad, but a bit alienating all the same.

I agree with the post, but mostly because I seem to find any generation of parents awkward to deal with :p
