Can we stop with the cutesy and coddling boomers

This is exactly why they are more mentally sound. Gen X has very strong problem solving skills, making them far more resilient and acclimated when it comes to dealing with stress and difficult times without turning into a sobbing mess. If we cried and were told to cry to mommy and daddy, all we could say is, "I can't. They're not home."

So, you mean like this type of resiliency? https://www.unilad.com/community/vir...%20she%20said. ?

and before you say I'm not being sympathetic- to anyone who's been laid off, you have my sincere sympathy- however please do not make any statements about how SpeCial Gen X is with respect to your problem solving or resiliency, when prior generations lived through horrendous wars, depressions, and other events. All generations have their trials.
