I'm an X with two Ys

I'm talking about generation . I belong to X generation. born between early 1960's to 1980's . And I have given birth to double YYs, the generation age from 18 to 32. Also as in why they don't listen, why they just want to party all the time. Why are they pushy and impatient. Why they think they rule the turf, which by the way they treat the place like a hotel. You know housekeeping,is the hotel's responsibilities.

And an incident the other night where one of the Ys need to move her car as I need
to get out my car of the garage, I could have moved it myself if I knew where the keys were. I called out from downstairs requesting her to move the car, but no reply so I went upstairs and started calling with urgency. To which I was branded rude as she was starting to doze off, all those late nights partying has caught up with her.

I proceeded to my short trip for an errand and I had texts of complaints for my action. To which, I replied with parental authority. It escalated to heated argument back and forth to which I did not bow down to. I was accused of not a supportive parent, which I replied along the lines of , is free rent, free run of the joint, free car repayments, laundry food etc etc ...not a support? I have 5 replied to her one text. I closed it with I'm the parent and the matron of the joint and she should show respect. And I think she replied something like ha! And I left it at that. It was getting late. At least we were not screaming at each other. And we didn't disturb the neighbors, we did text fight. I don't have to be their friend in situation like this , I have up be a parent. When we meet again the next afternoon after work we kissed and made up and she knew she crossed the line.

But hey I consider myself a mixture of X
and Y

Hey WHY well Posted.We all expect other people in society to be honest, forthright, incorruptible, hard working, learned, socially conscious, environmentally sensitive, generous, polite, broad-minded, non-violent and tolerant. The only way this is possible if our own children are brought up to be all these things. And the only way our children will submit to this sort of upbringing is when we also aspire to be the ideal. With You as a Patron you imbibed every thing with precision and small fights are signs of love. Children have the right to fight specially with the female parent. Be calm life is full of love ( specially for Daughters. you are in a sequential alphabetic trail and let the Z come with time. keep loving the life has many treasures to unfold. Right WHY.

HiFred!

Sorry for the late reply, could not post replies for a while. The Z can come when it does. We might not be well prepared for it but we can deal with it the best we can and it will be all good. Thanks, for your kind words.
