    Out of curiosity do you mean the age of the person who posted, the person in the image, or something else? I am a Gen X and my children look about the age of the person in the screenshot.

      More the messaging, than the person in the picture…because yeah, they look too young to be Gen X.

      I’m Gen X too, and I’m pretty sure we were the last generation where it was considered “normal” to get beaten in public for behavioral reasons.

        I’m confused with ages here, have we standardized this?

        • Greatest Generation (born roughly 1901–1927)
        • Silent Generation (1928–1945)
        • Baby Boomers (1946–1964)
        • Generation X (1965–1980)
        • Millennials (1981–1996)
        • Generation Z (1997–2012)
        • Generation Alpha (born around 2013–2024)
        • Generation Beta (2025–2039)

        Makes sense. Yep, I have multiple friends my age who were on the receiving end of some “tough love”.

          Some of my earliest “formative memories” were of getting walloped in the middle of a grocery store aisle, for whining about cereal. My mother said, “pick which one you want”. I thought that meant I could pick something I actually wanted. Apparently not. My choices were shredded wheat or cheerios.

          Everything else in that aisle was a decoy, with a spanking attached to it.
