    Aren’t Gen X the parents of Gen Z? That feels more like a failure on gen X for not teaching the ancient art of outside hose drinking.

      Gen Z and Gen Alpha because anyone younger can’t afford to have kids. Been seeing plenty of people in their late 40s and early-to-mid 50s with young children, but almost nobody under 40 with kids.

        I am sitting at a child infested brewery right now and basically all the parents are under 40.

        Guess it depends where you live, because my youngest is in one of seven preschool classes at the elementary school, and the vast majority of parents are under 40.

        I will say it is definitely more normal to see older parents though (as in 40+), and I think that’s fine too. Do whatever you want!

      As gen x- you open the tap, and you fucking drink. It’s not rocket science.

      My kids got to drink from a hose. Nothing was more refreshing then drinking cool water from a hose as a kid. As an adult still not to bad.
