Any siblings?Thanks for joining our little discussion group.Thank you for the warm welcome! Yeah, I'm definitely close to them, especially my mom. My parents and I weren't really close when I was in elementary school, but I guess something magical happened in middle school, and now I wanna really help them and get to know them. That's probably a mix of me maturing and scary world events. Crisis brings people closer, after all.
I love asking my parents about previous decades I wish I got to experience. My dad told me he grew out and dyed his hair blonde when he was a teen to look like Sting, which I find hilarious. I also interact a lot with my Gen X aunt and uncle, and one of them grew up in America during the Consciousness Revolution.
Unfortunately, no, I don't really interact with generations besides my X family and Homelander friends. Unless my Millennial/Zillennial online friends count. I interact with them a lot, and the majority are American like I am. But none of them remember the 90s.
I do have a little sister. She was born here in 2010, and I'd say we're pretty close. I'm not sure what I can say about people her age other than that they're in their peak childhood and I hope they enjoy it. Will probably grow up to be a sensitive bunch.
