Gen X

[Great-Kazoo]

Not quite. My parents were depression children not boomers. We raised ourselves. We cooked for ourselves and our siblings. We had jobs at 12 or 13. We came home by dark. We fought our own bully's. We didn't get handouts out participation medals. We are simple book-ended to to much selfishness and self importance. We are outvoted by everyone else. "Clowns to the left of me jokers to the right".

Likewise.
As our daughter was raised also. Her first job @ 14 was getting up at 4 a.m to feed cows at a small family run dairy.
She's worked since then, including a 5 yr stint in the .mil.
Has run her own business since 2017, as well as raising and selling livestock for a hobby. Not bad for a soon to be 37 yr old .

I was referring to boomer's children, not your parents children. There will always be exceptions to the generalizations, stereotypes, or other characteristics assigned a group.

So, Somebody care to put these generational titles into some sort of chronological order for me?

I'm pretty sure I'm not a boomer and I'm definitely not a millennial but gen X just doesn't sound right either.

What year were you born?

Well, it would be silly for 1970 to be part of my user name if it had no meaning.
