The more things change...

The more they are the same. Big revelation. Turns out kids today aren't different from kids back in the day. Not only that, brace yourself, kids grow up and become people who say "get off my lawn" too.

But like generations before them, millennial parents tend to be more traditional and shop more frugally than their non-parent counterparts. According to the study, before millennials have children they over-index on brands like Abercrombie, H&M, Apple, Macy's and Sephora. After they become parents, those brands not only drop, some of them disappear from their consideration set. Instead, millennials shift to over-indexing against the entire U.S. population on brands like Dollar General,Kohl's, Lowe's, Wal-Mart and Value City. About 44% of millennial parents are "very financially stressed."

That article shows that *parents* today are the same as parents were back in the day.

Don't tell me to get it right, unless you are getting it right yourself.

L'eau est humide. Water, being English, thumbs its nose at French adjectives (except those taken as spoils by Henry V).

dood, there was a study done that said that kids these days - mind, this means kids so peeps not all grown up with kids of their own - are lazier. They expect more and think it should come with less work. Wish I could remember the study ...

There have also been "a study" that say bigfoot exists, and is a human-animal hybrid. So, I'm unimpressed.

And it isn't like adults these days don't have a pretty hefty sense of entitlement.

Pfffft. You stole so much from the French language you are like French Lite. Surrender now, resistance is futile.

Entitlement! I hate that word!

It's the catch phrase bourgeoisie oppressing the proletariat!




NOTE: I was just throwing more french kindling on the fire and NOT intending to start an actual political debate because that would be bad.
