Younger Generations Are Calling Out Things Older Generations Should Stop Doing ASAP


10.

“STOP TELLING US TO HAVE KIDS!!! If we say we don’t want any, assume we mean it! Don’t tell us, ‘Oh, someday you’ll change your mind,’ or ‘It’s better to have kids than to end up alone.’ PLEASE, I’M BEGGING. Respect our opinions, and know that our world shapes our views differently than it might’ve shaped yours.”

“A ‘good life’ is no longer defined by marriage, a white collar job, and a white picket fence with two kids and a dog. I think many of us just want to be happy and find something that fulfills us and gives us a sense of purpose. As long as someone’s being a decent human, it’s not my or anyone else’s place to judge them or define their worth. If a person is happy and fulfilled being single and childless, let them be happy — stop bugging us to get married and give you grandchildren. We don’t owe you grandchildren. You calling our generation ‘entitled’ is the pot calling the kettle black.”
