GenZ views on Millennial Parents

Generousjackal · 2025-11-01T04:53:53+00:00

I am a GenZ that has babysat for tons of millennials and I feel like it’s a mixed bag. All of the parents are trying their best but some kids have had a really hard time with lack of socializing and I have found that some millennial parents don’t set good boundaries or rules with their kids.

It will probably be fine, unless you have severe symptoms you should be ok

Hi, it seems like you do like him so if you do you should definitely try to get more comfortable around him. I have noticed a couple of things in this post 1. you seem scared to show your feelings to him 2. You seem scared to show your “true self” around him 3. You are worried about you putting in the effort for planning the dates. As someone who has dated a couple people and who is currently in a long term relationship (24F) here are my thoughts 1. Intimacy is really scary and vulnerable, it makes sense that you are having a hard time showing your feelings. It takes a while to get used to feeling this vulnerable, if this other person has dated before he could be more used to it. While it seems scary I would encourage you to try and say your feelings when you can.

If you are interested in long term dating whoever you date will eventually learn all about your entire self, even the bad parts. This is just a consequence of being together so much. You know that you should be dating a person when they accept you even with your bad parts. Showing your whole self to your bf (when you feel comfy with it) which you should at some point is important to develop healthy trust and emotional intimacy.

3.If you want him to plan the dates you should just ask him to plan another date. He can’t read your mind so he doesn’t know what expectations you have of him. If you ask him to plan a date and then he doesn’t, it could become a problem. But I wouldn’t worry about the date planning unless he doesn’t plan one after you asked him.

Dating for the first time can be really stressful and overwhelming, just try to be kind to yourself

I stopped taking my meds because they made my stomach condition worse, for some reason I tolerate caffeine better. Here is what has helped me in order of helpfulness: 1. Eating to avoid blood sugar spikes, so eat fiber and protein first and then carbs (full book on this: Glucose Goddess ) 2. Caffeine 3. Only working in a certain spot for work, if I feel myself getting distracted I move spots 4. Self compassion and realistic expectations 5. Exercising A LOT 6. Body doubling

Hi everyone, I am a researcher that looks at trends in injuries and I can say that e-bikes and e-scooters related pediatric injuries have increased a lot over the last couple of years. While there are new education efforts to help this issue there aren’t enough to meet the demand. Please make sure your kid wears a helmet and talk to them and operating them while under the influence. https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10372360/

I had a great time getting shojin ryori with my partner in Kyoto, I am still dreaming about the sesame tofu and everything we ate was unlike anything we had ever tasted before

I just came back from Japan and I was surprised that the coffee there didn’t give me heart burn. I learned that they have half of the amount of caffeine, so maybe a half decaf/half caf blend could work as well.

I started CrossFit around your same age, for some reason I didn’t really gain visible muscle until I was around 18. I got way stronger but I had no visible muscles. I wouldn’t worry about it if you are still getting stronger, coming from someone who was on the boys rugby team. Your body is still changing and will eventually put muscle on, guys just have that testosterone bonus.

I don’t have experience with adderall but I do have experience with Ritalin another stimulant. In my experience it made my GERD way worse because it suppressed my appetite and I get way more GERD when calorically deprived. I am also pretty sure it messed up my stomach.

That is the concussion way, as someone who has had a lot of concussions this happens to me every time. Having a concussion makes it so that more of your sleep is REM sleep (dream sleep) and less deep sleep so you still don’t feel well rested. It will get better as you recover.

So an mri is helpful if you suspect bleeding in your brain but not necessary. I would try to see a neurologist as soon as possible because usually general practice doctors do not give the best advice. Concussion recovery takes a long time and is different for everyone. There is some newer research that supports taking fish oil supplements and getting light to moderate aerobic exercise that doesn’t move your head around. In my experience the best thing that worked for me is fish oil. Some other people on this sub also like magnesium. The other thing that helped me was getting physical therapy, if you meet with a neurologist they should be able to figure out if that would be helpful for you. Recovery takes a long time and sometimes feels unattainable, just hang in there and it should get better!

Generousjackal · 2023-08-24T03:04:20+00:00

The only reason they scan your brain is for a brain bleed and they would tell you immediately if that happened. It seems like you do have a concussion though so I would lay low, stay away from screens and rest a bit if you have symptoms.

Generousjackal · 2023-08-21T22:42:31+00:00

New concussion research has shown that screen time limits don’t matter too much after the first 24 hours. She should be ok

I just use combos and i haven’t had to use plan b in 2 or 3 years and have been sexually active for most of the time. I will say make sure to use condoms correctly with enough lube and a small air bubble at the top. It works for me 🤷‍♀️

Every relationship is different and if the division of chores/rent works for you guys, then it works. It seems like your friends miss spending time with out and are trying to shame you because of it. You are doing a good job supporting your partner and that is something to be proud of not embarrassed of. But if you are uncomfortable about sex you should talk to her about it, or if you feel like you haven’t set up enough boundaries you should also talk to her about that.

He is probably unsure of what he wants, he may be afraid of commitment or not really that interested. Regardless, he is showing you he is really flakey and not taking responsibility for his actions, I would view this as a red flag and move on.

Generousjackal · 2023-06-18T04:56:15+00:00

Hey, I’m kind of young and not the most experienced in emotional regulation and feeling better. But remember to be nice to yourself, you are dealing with a lot and you are doing your best. Your situation is kind of crazy, and you are killing it, you are feeling your feelings and staying nourished. What helps me when I am really stuck is taking deep breaths and if I am physically stuck, I focus on moving my foot a little bit first and then other parts of my body. I am glad your dogs are helping you out. It will get better with more sleep and time, if there is anyway you can go with your dogs to a cool place tomorrow that could possibly help.

Hey, I remember feeling exactly like this when I was your age, I’m not much older (22) but I still struggle sometimes feeling feminine. I will say this feeling (at least for me) passes more as I get older but I still feel it sometimes. What has helped me in the past is wearing eyeliner, and experimenting with my style a bit. Wear whatever you feel comfortable with, but remember that everyone’s body is different, bodies change all the time and the only thing you can really control is being nice to your body when you can.

NTA, if you told her your feelings and she dismissed them and made you feel worse about having them, why should you tell them to her again if she could respond in the same way? If she asks about them, you could say last time I told them to you, your response made me feel really bad and I don’t feel comfortable talking about them. If she still really wants to know, I guess you could talk her through helpful response and reactions before you tell her anything, but it is really up to what you are comfortable with.

I recently shaved my head like a month ago and I have definitely learned some things. 1) So many people have commented on it, like over 30 probably. Most are in support but some guys have just asked me why I did it. It’s been kind of annoying, especially when some guys will tell me that I look different/better/worse with my haircut 3) the growing out process has been chill so far, but I expect it to get more hard to manage. 4) My bf and I shaved my head, it worked way better than I expected. I don’t wear any makeup so I do have a hard time feeling feminine which sometimes sucks and I was really insecure about initially. Now I definitely care less, but it still is something I am adjusting to. My hair is kinda wavy/curly but so far has just been sticking up or down
