    Moms of millennials are still taking them apartment shopping?

    Or they forgot to swap the generation on this one?

      It’s called ‘having a person in your life who worries too much’. I’m a millennial and I’m getting close to this point, with how often my parent keeps asking me about finding a better place to live when I’m scrounging to find places that won’t cost an arm and a leg

          No that’s bullshit. I had the same type of parents and as a result I never had any privacy to myself, ever.

          Spend more than an hour in my room? They’re knocking on the door, wondering what “I’m up to”.

          To this day I still have a mild anxiety attack every time I hear someone say something that sounds even remotely like my name in public, and I’m 34.

          Trust me, you don’t want to be raised by helicopter parents. It traumatizes you for life. I know I’m not explaining this adequately enough for someone who didn’t grow up this way to understand just how bad it is to never have any privacy or time to yourself, especially when you’re an introvert like me. I don’t think I ever can explain it, so you’ll have to just trust me when I say I’m still fucked up over being raised by parents who care too much.

      I’d guess that it was to prove a point to someone who wouldn’t accept the world wasn’t how they declared it to be, despite being wrong.

      I mean, not all of them but some boomers are beyond impossible with this stuff. I think there’s a real denial in many of them because so many saw their wealth expload simply for buying a dirt cheap house or having a job you now need a degree for and all the real chances of slary progression have been taken away.

      I think it makes people start wondering where its coming from and, rather than think about that, they decide that things are fine or else they’d have to start thinking about one particular generations insatiable greed.
