Part of the reason millennials get infantilized by elder generations is because many milestones and status symbols of adult success (owning a house, having a full time career, affording kids, retirement) are now completely unattainable to an entire generation of people.

You might be surprised by how many Gen-Xers have these same experiences. The milestones change every generation or so and can be seen by looking at historical norms over time. It’s a very tough situation to feel pressure to meet/exceed impossible goals.https://twitter.com/thetrudz/status/1259523046572011520?s=20 …

And another factor that makes it even worse is we then get blamed for failing to achieve those unattainable milestones.

In my experience people who pursue anything specific don't have really any choices about where their next opportunity is. So either they jump in the general labor pool, or they move to whatever town has the one open slot for their skills

Chosen family is a queer thing though not a generational thing

Like there is a big difference between having friends who are close like family, and having a chosen family because your blood relatives shun you

A broad family means you have more people to share your life with. Nuclear family was made to alienate us from community support. Later generations built a world with an expiration date, it would NEVER work, and being blamed for their crap is infuriating
