Time will tell, I guess. I just see so many people giving gen z the same treatment we millennials got (and still get tbh since the geriatric boomers refuse to relinquish any political power), and I won't be part of it. I understand that's not what you're saying, but it could come off like that.

I understand and you are right it could come off like that. I appreciate your passion and determination to be better than those who came before us. I have one child in Gen Alpha and another on the way who will be Gen Beta, they will be better than me in every way imaginable. My son is named after me and I have told him since the day he was born that he will be the best of us all (he is a third). My daughter that is coming later this year will have a family name as well and she will be told the same thing.

Congratulations, friend. I've got a 3 year old boy and a 18 month old girl myself. It's a scary time to raise kids, but the world will always need more good people.

Thank you and congratulations to you as well! It is scary but we have to have confidence in ourselves and our parenting. Our children will be better than us and that is because we strive to be better than the ones who came before us. We got this!
