[QUOTE="libertygarden, post: 1777476, member: 25299"] Another observation about families and generations. Only in the US have I seen generations be labeled as The Great Generation, The Silent Generation, Boomers, Gen X, Millennials, Gen Z, and Alphas. I understand it, it makes no sense to me. Where I come from, there is only three rolling generations Grand parents, Parents, and Sons. Sometimes all three generations share one house hold as few of our elders end-up in the old folks home. And we don't kick the young out of the nest at 18 either, but usually until they get married, especially the daughters. The nuclear family unit has been disastrous to the stability of society in America: Two working parents, kids in daycare, grandparents in the old folks home or in a different state. There is so much the old generations succinctly contribute to the new generations when they live and share amongst the young. [/QUOTE]
