"Are you bleeding?! Stay outside. I don't want you getting blood on the floor." - Gen X childhood

Anybody who's Gen X knows she's telling the truth! 😆

Laughed so hard I cried! My Mother’s favorite was any variation of, “If you break your neck; don’t come running to me!” “If you’re gonna cry, I’ll give you something to cry about!”

The Home Depot parenting stuff was so true. My parents were always at work. No one checked homework,. We really did raise ourselves. Gen X is the coolest most independent, no-BS generation.

OMG...lol. I am Gen X too and this was 100% accurate right down to the hot hose water and mom smoking in the car. Remember coming in for dinner and Mom asking..."Did you wash your hands?" of course not...trudge upstairs to wash them and come back down only to have Dad drop my hot dog on the ground while transferring from grill to bun...pick it up...blow on it (very important...and sanitary)...put it in the bun and say..."A little dirt never hurt anyone." The irony of the 5 second rule.

The gen-x portion of the show brings back memories.🤓

For those who might be confused, there is a difference between Gen X and all those who came before that had similar growing up experiences. Gen X often had to discover things for themselves and learn from their peers more than the generations before. They really were, even for those with intact parents, mostly left alone unless very specific rules were broken. Secondly, Gen X were both the last manual and the first digital generation. They can easily put one foot in and the other foot out of the computer world.

I’m an elder millennial, grew up mostly with friends that were 3-8 years older than myself, so I got the full Gen X childhood experience. I remember my favorite toy was a bow & arrow I made myself from a rusty old knife I found in grandpa’s garage. My arrows were sticks with old nails taped to the ends. We spent most of our free time throwing rocks at hornet nests, wandering the railroad tracks raiding hobo camps, and jumping off huge rocks into swampy ponds so deep in the woods that it would have taken days for anyone to find us if something happened. Fond memories! ❤

Gen X is the forgotten generation and we like it that way.

She's not even telling jokes. She's just straight up spitting facts LOL I'm also a forgotten Gen Xer. We are the Tonka truck tough generation.

This is SO dead-on accurate. Stop your crying or I’ll give you something to cry about!! Oh, you’re bored?! Well, there’s dishes to do, laundry, etc. Oh, not so much bored anymore, are ya?

And our pop culture, movies, music, Saturday morning cartoons, it was a golden age.

Dad took us to a sandpit and filled up the back of the truck, so we could have a sandpile to play in. We rode home on the top of that pile of sand, with the family dog. These new generations have no idea what fun was.

Best description of my Gen X world ever. Brought back lots of memories and it let me know why I never believed in afternoon snacks in school. We had lunch and that's it.

I still have a BB lodged against my left cheekbone. Shows up on dental xrays every few years. She described my childhood perfectly and made me laugh at the same time. Got to add her to my list of comedians to see when she comes to town.

Gen X here, best childhood ever...yes, we don't care and is amusing to see this new generations! Love your Special, thanks!

Gen X baby!💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾" if your mom arm wasn't strong enough you deserve to go through that window"😂😂😂😂

She totally nails gen X. I can remember getting rolled down a hill in a dryer drum by older kids. Great stuff!! 😂

Yup, we were tough as nails, and still are.🇺🇸👍🏻

“I bet you won’t do that again” and “this is how we learn” we’re said to me (Gen X) by my boomer dad
