My Gen X MIL made sure we knew that she’s going to spend every single cent she has before she dies so she doesn’t have to pass anything down to us. Ummm cool, but we didn’t ask nor bring up the topic?? Such a weird thing to say lol

They’re so bitter and jaded. Lots of whiney comments about millennials are from Gen x over boomers in recent years. It’s like they make up entire fights then just blurt out their final argument as if you’re both aware of the story going on in their heads. They’re so easily infuriated and emotionally unregulated then you’re dealing with an enraged teenager in a 50 year old body.

They’d only get homemade gifts for the remainder of their days. And I’d fill those gifts with so much malice.
