I’m sorry soliloquy! I don’t mean to keep coming at you! It’s nothing personal.

The thing is, the things millennials are vocal about wanting to change seem to be the things older generations call us snowflakes for or otherwise, things that are completely out of our control (like participation trophies)

We got a chair reupholstered. It wasn't hard to find a place to do it at all, there were a few choices nearby, but it was expensive. I am guessing because it is not so common anymore so you are paying to have for the rarity of it; but it was the chair I was rocked in when I was a baby and a child so it was for sentimental value that i want to keep the chair.

Well, take heart in knowing that every generation before you has been called a version of snowflakes, too. You'll be hearing it about a younger generation in 10-20 years.

That's cool. I knew someone locally who had apprenticed to an older craftsman...he was going out of business b/c it was too uncommon to make a living anymore, and she was picking it up as more of an antique refinishing hobby than a business per se...she did projects for others, but more to pay for her supplies than to make a sustainable income.

They were the last in the area as far I know.

Ha! Apparently to some segment of Americans Millenial doesn't actually mean a specific generation anymore, it's just a shorthand for "dumb kids these days." I have these conversations all the time with older relatives where they think today's high schoolers and college students are millenials (they are not), and beg me not to identify myself as a millenial, because it's not just a factual statement to them, but rather a mere pejorative.

Counseling is like cleaning out your fridge. Mostly it's rearranging things so they make more sense. Now and then you come across some really nasty thing that's been stuck in the back way too long.

I would NOT want to have been my mother, coming of age in the late 1950s. Yes, her sofa lasted 40 years (and it cost a LOT more than a modern sofa, based on prices adjusted for inflation) but her life choices were drastically limited.

EVERY generation gets handed some clogged toilets and baskets of doo doo. If you can't see the baskets of doo doo that the older generations had, it's because they've found ways to dispose of them in a healthy way or they've integrated the stinkiness in to their outlook and way of life. Some people say, "this is what I've got, where will I go from here." Some people just sit and live in the stink.

Each generation has their hills to climb.
I completely agree. I'm gen x with boomer parents, and it gets really old hearing about how great they had it. My dad usually had at least two jobs. Our furniture, clothes and cars were handmedowns because my parents insisted we live within our means. I remember being a few months away from graduating college, and hearing from recent alums that they'd had to go back to their retail jobs because there was no work for them that justified their new degrees.

I still have mostly handmedown furniture, thrift store clothes, our only vehicle is fourteen years old and you can hear it coming a block away. I have food and a warm(ish) safe place to live so I figure globally I'm wealthy compared to most of the population. There's no use is getting mired down in comparisons with my neighbors or other generations who seem to have had it better.

My grandma's generation lived by "use it up, wear it out, make it do, or do without." That's pretty extreme these days but not a bad philosophy where it can be pulled off.

I prefer the game of Life over Monopoly but for teaching these things there's nothing better than loaning your kid some money. With interest. Not necessarily enough to hurt but enough that they can see their money disappearing into the void simply for having borrowed. I run numbers showing the different interest rates too.

My grandmother had undiagnosed anxiety and depression the whole time I knew her. My friend's mom had very severe OCD her whole adult life. There was no help. There was no internet to find help. If you went to your doctor, a woman was often told to go get a new dress and hairstyle to cheer herself up.

If your kids had ADD, autism, or were atypical in other ways, you were a horrible mother and your kids could get kicked out of school. Atypical kids were often punished very severely. My dad got hit with rulers every time he tried to write with his left hand. Bullying was just accepted, as was racism and sexism. Cognitively disabled children were often sent to live in institutions. I remember taking a school field trip to one in 7th grade. It seemed normal to us that those children were kept there.

Sometimes I see comments on social media about "well, back in my day children behaved in public. I don't buy this autism, add nonsense." The truth is that, back in that day, atypical children were kept out of sight. There was no inclusion. My high school had a separate little building for kids with special education needs. We never mixed, not even on the bus. They had the short bus, literally. Younger people may not get the "did you ride the short bus?" joke which isn't funny to me.

Some things have changed for the worse, certainly. Some things have changed for the better, though.

Default Re: Millennial Monopoly. . . not sure if this belongs in IF?

I fully agree that every generation has their thing for sure.

And every generation has their pros / cons. I always hope and pray I’d take the pros and reject at least some of the cons

The original post was cuz I think the concept of game was not sitting well. I decided it’s derisive and kinda harsh but there have been derisive/harsh statements/articles from the beginning of time . I heard all the time growing up “when I was a kid we walked to school up hill in the snow?”

I had a thought recently about how “the greatest generation” my grandparents (WW 1&2) were horrid in many ways. we were discussing our geneology and there were horrible secrets and things hidden. People were hidden away, abuse justified and hidden, prostitution was just swept under the rug. If things looked good and shiny, they were happy.

A friend from our homeschool group does this for a living. It's a lot of work and about half the cost is the fabric. We bartered when we got a hand-me-down sofa from my brother (I can count on maybe one hand the things in my house that are new - everything is either hand-me-down or dh made it). Dh and his dad built stairs in their new workshop in exchange for the labor to recover. It still cost $300 worth of fabric.

We had to buy the fabric separate and yes I believe it was about half of the cost.

Yes. Pregnant and not married? You were shamed and hidden away. Cross-cultural or cross-religious romance? Nope. My dh's paternal grandmother was shunned by her entire family because she married a Roman Catholic (her family was Lutheran). Forget marrying outside of your race. You were untouchable if you did that.

Yet I am so, so, so thankful that I have not had to live through a war like WW2.

I don't think Millennial Monopoly will be popular.

I was reading the autobiography of a Code Talker (WWII) and he said that he and his sister walked home from school....for three days. At the end of the semester they were taken to a certain point, given a sandwich and walked the rest, depending on people along the way to help them out. No phones to call for anyone to ride out to pick them up. He was 8, his sister was 5.
