"Go ask your Mom" and "Don't tell your Mother" was about 68% of my Dad's vocabulary until I was about today years old. 🤣🤣🤣 I frickin love my Dad
My life…
I am in so much trouble right now because of little secret present my daughter and I withheld from mom. At least I don’t have to worry about more kids for a good while!
#MeToo
Lol I also relate to this 😂
The men at Whole Foods do have a certain look.
I have 8 kids- I had my first at 20 and my last at 40- and I have to say parenting has changed UNIVERSES since I started. One thing I know for sure- whatever they’re telling you the “ right” way to parent is now.. it’ll change in a year- so relax and love your child.
What the hell kind of question is that, b.g.?
@@heidikamrath1951 An earnest one? Most people do not brag about having 8 kids like they're some sort of baby factory ...
I love that you have 8 kids I regret not having a big family as many from this generation will.Bring back big families!❤❤❤God bless you and your family!
@@maryandrew3109 thank you so much! I really didn’t start out to have a big family- but once I was a mom the joy and delight my children brought me was all it took. I definitely joined the “ go big or go home club” haha. God gave me everything I needed as I needed it and I have no regrets. ♥️ maybe you’ll have two dozen grandkids ? 😁a girl can dream.
That’s way too many
I’m definitely a boomer dad; “I don’t care if you don’t like what I fixed, your eating it or you can do without, that’s your only choices” 🤣
That was my mom.
Your choice was Eat it, or Do Without.
lol. We all have the flu. I fixed leftovers and random shit from the fridge for dinner. My picky son looked at it with “that look” and I told him he could eat it now or he could refuse and be forced to eat it cold for breakfast. He ate his dinner. 😉
You got second dinner money? @@youtubegavemynameawaycuntbags
Birds do it, bees do it. I better not catch you doing it.
💯💯💯💯
My dad actually made me walk home about 2 miles _once_ because he told me to stop kicking his seat and I kept doing it. I did what my dad told me the _first_ time from then on. 😂
And I think it did you well.
We're related. That was my Dad.
I also had to walk a couple miles to school once because I overslept and missed the bus to school.
It used to be called consequences and repercussions.
@@stevedurrant6112 Yep! And now we're raising kids who get _participation_ trophies because we don't want to make anyone have any hurt little feelings and punishing kids for being kids.. things like picking on each other, etc. Call me crazy but I think that kind of thing made us stronger and taught us a lot about how to deal with someone who's different, and how to work on _ourselves_ to change whatever it was that had everyone picking on us about. Today these kids are so soft that they _cry_ if someone uses the wrong pronouns! 😳 "We" are doing the whole generation a huge disservice. They're not ready at all for the world, and nowhere close to being an adult.
I’m a boomer and my dad was great. We did family things together and learned that hard work pays off. Dad was our dad not our best friend.
So you're over 60? Your father was a WW2 vet? If not, your Gen X.
Whoa, chill out man. Dude is just telling us about his dad relax. My dad is a boomer. Was a real hardass at times but I'll always love him.
I'm boomer too. My elders were WW2 and industrial revolution. They were more brutal but less mean and more generous with money with strangers compare to us.
WW2 parents were brutal. Boomer parents are more mean territory.
Baby boomers are the first ones to have this "I got mine kid, you're on ur own" attitude.
@@mariemiller456 Why the grilling? Are we all supposed to be dead?
@Chris Bork on thr other side of the iron curtain, my grandpa served Imperial Japan as a foreign legionare in Indian National Army so be bought some IJA discipline back home 😜
Grandpa immigrant from Uzbekistan who had some 7 bros and 4 sisters. All but one bro perish in WW2. 3 bros in Stalingrad, rest of family at visula oder offensive.
WW2 was a HARD generation. War aside, they had to be "guided" by folks, mostly had no idea how to live in cities.
Like my great grandpa was a train dacoit 😜 what is he gonna teach my grandpa who had to make it in a city. He only knew what yurt was in youth life and had to see city, bravely sail to anothet country, start life anew in an alien planet more or less
They had to get used to industrial revolution and take on WW2 weight and rebiold their countries on top of that.
These WW2 generation are hard CORE.
Boomer dads can tell time without a digital clock
And write their signature. 😆
Cause they have a real unmispelled name
I have a second hand with Roman numerals. My 9yo can read it.
So can millennials..? We still grew up with wrist watches and analogue clocks. Cell phones were only common in our teen years.
This is an ignorant take
I’m very thankful for my “boomer” dad. He’s the best old man and I love him to bits. He’s like the rock of my life, if I’m having a bad day getting a hug from him makes everything better.
I was blessed with the same kind of dad, gone now and I miss him so much. He was my rock, my confidant, I'm lost without his comforting words.
Treasure every possible day with him & make memories bc that's the only thing we keep when they're gone.🌈😊
The reason your boomer dads hug you-even if only occasionally-is because THEIR dads (the “greatest generation”) NEVER gave hugs. The main lesson of a boomer childhood: be grateful for what you got, like it or not.
I love the idea that millennial dad was raised by boomer dad (because that's how it happened)
My dad was 100% boomer dad, sure some stuff wasn't great but he was just trying to improve of his own father's example
My dad said that his biggest regret was not spending more time with us as kids so the fact that millennial dad wouldn't leave his kids alone really hits home
This issue of not being around as much as a parent would like to be is even worse these days. The price of everything is two or three times the price things were 20years ago plus tax yet our pay is about the same as 20 years ago. Minimum wage went up but most people that make more than Minimum wage their pay has stayed the same. This was all by design so both parents must work full time and let goverment raise their children so the parents can keep a decent roof over their heads and wheels under their feet.
The goverment schooling is what created this generation of...well you know. Not sure what to call them in a nice way.
Gm and Ford people got their raise because they striked but not everyone else. People still want to pay a young man 15 n hr to clean up shingles as an example yet 20 years ago when I was 20 I made 15 an hr working construction. Today people still want to pay carpenters 20 n hr 20 years later.
“Pain is weakness leaving the body”… 😂 not said in this video, but that was the mentality of my generation… G-X!!
Love this I will be telling myself this when I am in labor a few months from now 😂
My boomer dad on home repair. You only need 2 things. A good hammer and a can if wd40. Truck on the road emergency kit - duct tape, pantyhose, lighter, electrical tape, pocket knife
thats the truth
That is just a great saying...lol👌😁😁
JROTC taught me this 🤣
“This isn’t a restaurant” is exquisite what my dad told us and now I tell my kids 🤣🙌
Lol my dad made us the weirdest crap😂 he'd buy hotdogs and forget the buns and put it on white bread instead, and he'd add ketchup to our Mac n cheese for more flavor 🤦 the threatening to throw you out of the car scene was a regular occurrence between me and my baby sister 😂😂
If we didn’t eat our dinner and wanted a snack later, my mom would say “your dinner is in the fridge.” I have PTSD from that sentence lol
My boomer mom would say this 😄
Both parenting styles have their advantages and drawbacks. Let's learn from the past so we don't repeat its mistakes, but let's not assume we won't make any of our own. No one knows how to parent perfectly. Most of us are just trying our best. Great video.
Have you watched The Parent Test? It literally test different parent styles, super interesting to be honest
YES! I feel like if I had kids I would be a mix of both! But the mother version, cos sometimes I thought I was more like one, other times more like the other!
Agreed. I was kinda losing hope with the comment section since a lot of the just seems to shit on the millennium dad. But both styles have weakness and strengths. It's important to find a style that fit your family.
If I had kids which I hope I'll someday, I think I'd be a mix of both.
You need to do this but the mom version.
Agree
As a child of a baby boomer mother I agree.
Same. I agree.
Yes
My boomer mom was actually much more like the millennial dad here
I was a (widowed)
mom who raised my boys like a boomer dad. Proud to say, and thank the lord above, they turned out great because it really could have gone either way because at the time, it really felt like a poop show.
My advice - teach them boundaries and responsiiblity. My dad tuaght me that sometimes ya just gotta be there with a catchers mitt. You dont always have to be the coach.
I like that catcher's mitt saying.
“Walk it off! Rub some dirt in it!” My Mom is a boomer and that’s definitely everything she would say to me growing up. And leftovers, the best thing Mom taught me.
Even the names are spot on😂
“Keyston” vs “Michael” lol
Only thing missing is playing outside “Dad I’m thirsty” “Here, drink this hose water it’s good for ya. I think.” Jokes aside hose water is great.
That faint hint of Goodyear and smelled of the flower garden or sometimes the front lawn...YES, it WAS great.
@@margeryriviers3432 yeah it was!
If you haven't drank from the hose, you haven't lived. 😂😂
@@JulieKawiGirlDesilets livin’ the high life starts when you drink hose water lol
You just run the hose until the water tastes fresh and cool. It’s the same water that comes out of the tap.
BB Dad: “I need to talk to you about the birds and the bees.”
Kid: “Sure dad, what do you want to know?”
My nine year old filled me in on how a woman gets pregnant. 😂😂 My eyes almost bugged out of my head. 😂
Off topic, but your pup is so darn cute!!!
@@ksharpe8137umm how did you think it happened
@@becky2235 😂 obviously I know how it happens but I never thought my nine year old could tell me play by play how it does.
I love how Boomer Dad told his kids to play with a box and because of that, Millennial Dad acted like boxes were the best thing ever with his kids. It is fascinating seeing the progression between the generations in this comedy video.
I didn't have to twll my kids to play with boxes. They loved them and had their own imagination to make it anything they wanted it to be! My grandkids are the same.
“Progression”?? 😂😂😂
Try living through a 50's father. That was tough but us Boomers did it.
LOL! My brother and I would come into the house all bloodied up and dirty from being outside all day. I would have blood dripping down my leg and a broken finger. You know what my mom would say…”You’ll live” no bandaids or Bactine….those cost money. Soap and water. I wouldn’t have wanted to grow up any other way. We had a blast and my brother and I have tons of great stories.
That’s pretty sad even my mom bought the bactine
I broke my elbow skateboarding with all my cousins lmao didn't go to the ER for 3 days. When I finally did they put a cast on and I hated it!!! I cut it off within a week, my elbow still bends extra far lol we grew up that same way. My boyfriend always whines for neosporin... Im like for what?! A scratch?
@@katemiller7874 LOL
I was 15 in my first full-time job at a pharmacy. I was scraping the labels off with an open, double sided blade so we could reuse the prescription bottles LOL 🤣 of course it slipped and I cut myself enough to need stitches. My manager insisted on doing the delivery rounds on route though! LOL. At least we have entertaining stories to tell!
@@jewelzzz4455 LOL 🤣 wimp!
just rub some dirt in it. love it! i always told my son, no blood no foul get back to playing!
I'm a millennial mom by birth but I'm definitely the boomer dad 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Me too in parts ! 😂
I think I relate more with the boomer dad
My boomer dad was the very best at everything but communication. I'm still terrible at communicating problems or confrontations. Other than that, he was everyone's Fav. He would help us hide during hide n seek with all our cousins, took them 3 hours to find me in the top of my parents walk in closet on the top shelf covered in blankets 😂 we finally told them. He taught us common sense, which is rare these days lol we are able to fix things ourselves most of the time. Not afraid to get dirty, it was more fun playing outside than worrying about dirt getting on your clothes or shoes. I had an awesome childhood, I was adopted into a really great family of boomers❤ I raise my children like they raised me, just being easier to talk to and able to sense things rather than pretending everything is perfect all the time. It's good to raise them tough, but you do want them to be open too. My parents were total opposites. Mom was my best friend, dad was my parent. I choose my dad any day but if I need someone to talk to its my mom.
I think this is gen x not boomer, which I'm only a couple years short of gen x, and I'm that dad. If I'm pulling the car over and have to take my seat belt off someone's ass is getting whooped.
😂😂 exactly
My best friend and I still laugh about the time he got caught eating peanut butter out of the jar with his fingers and his dad pulled the car over and whooped his ass on the side of the road 😅🤣😅😂
You're right about this being gen x not a boomer. Boomers are the generation before X.
I’m a Gen X dad who skews closer to millennial age-wise, and I can definitely see my parenting style borrowing from both of these stereotypes, so I think calling it Boomer dad vs Millenial dad works well.
Ok this sounds crazy but it worked. My mom and stepmom became best friends. Was best for all of us.
Mom had a van. Step mom had a suburban. I was the oldest still at home. Between them I had 5 younger siblings and we would all go do stuff…a car load full. They kept a switch on the dash board. You have no idea how often we talk about that darn switch and laugh. One would drive and the other would walk through just switching legs and I’d duck the best I could. They weren’t aiming for me. I was 6 years older. The hair on my neck stands up every time I talk about it! 🤣. And it didn’t matter which siblings were part of the squabbling or pulling hair or any of it…they were all getting it. Hahaha. All but one of them turned out really good too.
Looove the Boomer dad. He's a realist and teaching the truth. 2nd place is the first to lose, I love it. I can't stand participation Trophies, IMO it telling kids a lie and not preparing the for the real world.
Exactly.... And the real world sucks lol
I have a 30-year-old daughter and when she was in first grade and had field day she came in like fourth place for something but she walked back with a ribbon and I asked her where did you get that she said just because so I watched over to the teacher asked him what the ribbon was about they said it was participation ribbon because everybody's a winner and I looked at my daughter and I said did you earn that ribbon she goes no and I said what do you do with stuff that you didn't earn she said give it back so she took the ribbon off her shirt and she handed it to the teacher she was six and the teacher told her no you earned that she was no I didn't win LOL I like to teach her and I said don't try to teach my kids that they just get whatever they want because they showed up that's not how life works and I made the teacher take the ribbon back they said that I was traumatizing my daughter but then when I talked to my daughter she said no I really didn't earn it and she was not traumatized by the way and now she is a successful business woman LOL
Yeah when I was a kid u had to try out for a sports team, u just didn't get on the team cause u wanted to join, my dad would practice with me and my brother to try out for baseball team . He throw that ball hard and he wasn't easy on us if we missed catching it he yell at us and say if u don't get this right they have every right not to put u on the team. I'm thankful for that till this day , dad's like that made there children strong as adults
He's not a Boomer! He's Gen X! MY 75 year old father is a Boomer dad! Gen X is not a myth, okay? We exist!
@@jtoland2333 I don't think I said anything about generation X being a myth especially when I'm in that generation. I was only commenting on the Video and agreeing with the boomer dad. If your dad is 79 he's not apart of the Boomer generation, he's apart of the silent generation like my 74 year old mother.
The fact that I have seen pieces of both in my own parenting (I’m 31) is horrifying. And eye-opening. Thanks for this being in my feed today 😂
I'm definitely a Boomer dad.
Me too😂
I was, too. My kids laugh at the lib-raised kids with their focus on changing genders every other day and all that BS, Because it is not reality based. They are doing great in life as adults, because they learned healthy coping skills. No crying in "safe spaces" for them.
Lol…I’m 63. This boomer dad was mellow compared to me
I was a Boomer Dad that grew up on a farm. I was walking in the woods with a 20 Gauge Shotgun or a 22 Mag Marlin Rifle and a 22 Mag Colt Peacemaker at 11 years old. All by myself. I was driving a Tractor at 10 years old Bush Hogging and throwing Bails of Hay in a High Loft since I could remember. No Helmet riding my Honda 125 all over the place. So I raised my Son pretty much the same way. He is a a hard working man and he moved out on his own 3 Months after he Graduated High School. I figured he would be back but he never came back home to live. He worked three jobs and today he is a very successful 31 year old man. You have to make your kids do chores and have responsibilities growing up. It is the best thing you can do for them besides teaching them about their Lord and taking them to church. They have to learn how to fall and get back up with scapes and bruises. Many of today's parents are setting their children up for failure.
AMEN!!!!!!!!! Exactly what wrong with the world today! Parents let their kids choose to let their kids believe in God or not. We had no choice! And I thank the Lord Jesus for my dad making me read the Bible!!! Now I’m a born-again christian! Ready for his return VERY soon!
@@blueeagle5440 We were so blessed to have parents who loved us and taught us about God. I really miss my parents who are now in God's Hands.
@@kurtsherrick2066 SO ARE MINE!!!!!! THEY PROBABLY KNOW EACH OTHER NOW!!!!!! 😂
@@blueeagle5440 It is a good chance our parents have met each other since we met on U Tube. That is the mystery that will be known when we get there. May God bless you in all ways.
@@kurtsherrick2066 awww you too!! My real name is Jenny my daughter keeps playing with my phone 😂
My dad abandoned my brother and I when we were toddlers, and my brother is an amazingly good dad for his kids and I try to be the best dad in the world for my daughter. I think we both just want to make sure our kids never feel unloved by their fathers.
My sister just had her first son. She read that he should be in a booster seat until 8 yrs old. I learned to drive the family van when I was 8 🤣 🤣 🤣
😂Right!? I was mowing large sections of our lawn Driving a riding mower unsupervised at 8. We lived in the country and 2/3 of our horse pasture ran along our drive so you get the gist as to the size of our yard….obviously My parents are boomers.
😂Now that’s funny! At eight I was plowing corn twelve hours a day on a McCormick Farmall H or driving a “49” GMC ton and a half flatbed loaded down with hay bails.
My parents were kind of in the middle of these 2. They weren’t soft on us. And they encouraged us to do our best but they weren’t pushovers either.
I was brought up by " boomer" thinking and This is Spot On!
We didn't get a " Time Out" We'd hear " WHAT DID I SAY!!"
" DON'T MAKE ME COME BACK THERE!"
Today's parents are Wimps!!...lol
It's amazing how many people continue to mistake kindness for weakness ...
My dear sweet mothers advice when i ever got hurt or anything was " It will feel better, when it quits hurting" 😂
Kinda sad how many folks in the comments see a dad who wants his kids to be knowledgeable, healthy and emotionally fulfilled (ntm who wants to spend time with them!) as a "soy boy" and are proud to be dismissive, uncaring and self absorbed as fathers. I think the millennial dad stereotype is actually great, and I hope more men put aside their fragile masculinity to embrace loving their kids and focusing on their health.
Tbh, I had a dad like the boomer dad. He would insult me and pretend they were jokes. "You're not the sharpest tool in the shed. About as sharp as a marble." "Man, I wish you sang on the radio... so I could turn it off!" "You know, sweetie, girls are actually supposed to be pretty..." Followed by laughter. While we drove together, he would swerve towards animals on the sidewalk, laughing as I screamed for him to stop. When I asked for a puppy, he told me to carry around a bag of sh:t, because that's what puppies are.
He used to say the "get out and walk" thing, and the "second place is first loser" thing too. When I was 14, I met a boy I liked at church. My dad said "if you get knocked up, I'll drown that b*stard baby in the toilet." When I was 17, I asked if I had a college fund and he laughed in my face and said "if you can't put yourself through college, you don't deserve to go".
When I attempted suicide at 19, my dad acted shocked. He said he had no idea why my self esteem was so low. He said he always thought I was beautiful and smart and talented and that he'd always loved me. He thought I knew that they were all "just jokes".
Treat your kids like trash, and they'll think they are trash. My dad didn't hate me, but he never showed he loved me when I needed it. Those scars don't always heal.
Be the millennial dad. Love your kids with your heart, and then prove it with your actions.
I relate to this so much. I also had a boomer dad who didn’t care to be present and I dealt with a lot of self-esteem issues in my 20s and dated a lot of jerks who treated me badly because I didn’t think I deserved better. Here here to dads who care about their kids and aren’t afraid to let them know it!!
I completely agree.
Instead of "toughening up our kids to get them ready for the real world,"
we should instead,
Treat them always with love and respect, so that when they grow up.... Well, they and other kids like them grow up, they'll make the world a kinder place that you don't have to "toughen up" for.
“I’ll eat the rest of that burger thou”. Classic, he’s not a boomer, my bet he’s remembering the sh*t his he grew up going thru
I'm a boomer dad and I appreciate this video.
I’m a millennial but I prefer boomer dad’s style.
Xer style is the best.
Yeah, raised by boomers and carry it on. I know where they should have done things diff for me, so I just change that but my parents raised street smart, respectful kids with common sense. We can figure out easily how to fix things without help. We grew up tough and protected but could defend ourselves if something happened. The main downside was not knowing how to communicate, I'm still terrible at confrontations because my parents hid that or just ignored it.
@@jewelzzz4455 Boomer here, raised by UK WW2 parents and WW1 grandparents. What a life they had, but none of them were hard as mentioned by some. They were survivors of two terrible wars, but all were good and caring people who lost a lot, including family. They were never bitter, never complaining, raised and taught me well, including how to make do, stretch money and repair, not just replace things... I was loved and protected.
When I became a parent, I followed their lead, and as you said, with a few differences. Now I'm wondering what kind of parent my son will be. ... I'll send him to the Dad's on here for advice😊
@@mumbles215 lol no. its not
@@jewelzzz4455 I don't think the "communication avoidance" thing is necessarily a generational thing. I think that some people, like your particular parents, are not comfortable opening themselves up -- emotions are too scary. It's a defense mechanism. Better to stuff their feelings and avoid dealing with it. It's not very healthy, to be sure, but for some, it's all they know.
This is definitely real. As a boomer raised by the WWII generation, I see millennials and their kids as easy prey.
So right so sad
As an Xer raised partially by the greatest generation...I concur.
@@mumbles215 Exactly. GenX is my generation. We fondly remember our grandparents as strong and fearless, hardened and appreciative of little things in life that are the most important. They seemed to have an understanding of life, and almost a calm happiness that is all but alien to us now.
I remember my grandmother finding such joy when a nice cool breeze would come. Something we would fail to even notice today.
Just sit in your air conditioning and download the "nice cool breeze" app zoomer. Ya worthless
I am a Gen Xer raised by WWll Gen parents too. They didn't have squat when they grew up. They treated me good but were way more like the Boomer dad here then the other dude.
Easy prey...interesting phrasing.
I was the mom; " Can you breath? Are you bleeding profusely from any body part. Anything broken? Shake it off and go back outside before I give you something to cry about!! I have some bad ass daughters!!
“Back in my day we only got 1 meal a day. And we didn’t even have forks.” 😆😂🤣
Late 80s Mill daughter with a boomer dad...keeps me grounded, laughing and frustrated. Best dad over millennial dad's for sure 🤣🙌
I'm a millennial but raise my kids like the boomer dad, the systematic weakening of our society starts with parenting.
that's right...seems u were born in the wrong decade cause that's what us Gen X Dad's do: "I SAID...NO HAPPY MEALS! YOU WILL EAT YOUR WHOLE FOODS BROCCOLI AND NUGGETS AND BE HAPPY ABOUT IT! OR NO DESSERT!!! AND NO I AM NOT MAKING LASAGNA WHO DO I LOOK LIKE? MOM!?!"
So does toxic masculinity ;)
@@3nertia ummm yeah no. that is not what that is at all - lazy masculinity maybe.
@@TheFroneyZone Thank you for your well thought out rebuttal ...
@@3nertia no prob it was super easy - barely an inconvenience ; )
My dad was a Boomer Dad. He taught me to survive. I respect it now.
Mine didn't it just proves all these titles are stupid titles can't prevent people from acting a certain way just because of a title
Boomer dads were great. Taught us to stop whining, work hard and be self-sufficient. We kids all had chores to do every day to contribute to the running of the household. But were also given an allowance as a reward and to teach us how to manage money. We got spanked when we deserved it, although Boomer mom leaned more toward putting us into a corner (face IN the corner) for punishment (a more advanced type of "time out"). Both were very effective means of punishment and taught us that there were consequences to bad behavior. Our parents were our parents (not our friends) and we respected them as the authority. But they were also our teachers, mentors and protectors. Growing up that way, I would not change a thing.
@@MsMars.Well said! I had the same experience growing up!
@@MsMars. Perfectly stated. Thanks.
Rub some dirt on it. That's was one of my dads favorite lines
If we were bleeding, my boomer Dad born 1940 would shout at us to lick it up, for the nutrients.
I actually had to walk home one time....took just one time is all I'm saying.
It also just takes one time to be grabbed and pulled into a stranger’s car. That’s all I’m sayin’ .
My dad used to tell us not to come and complain unless we were bleeding, barfing or broken. I grew up in the 60s. We were all girls , but he was 1 of 6 boys so I guess that's how he grew up.😂
This isn't a 'boomer' dad. This is simply a 'dad' dad.
Don't you ever think the boomers didn't play in cardboard forts with us. My grandfather was from the greatest generation, big difference between them and boomers. Now we just have the entitled victims.... zoomers.
I'm a mom as soon as they said everyone gets a trophy I pulled my children out of sports. I was in sports and practiced at school and home so we could win. Children need to learn in order to win at life it takes study and practice.
LOL, you really taught him a valuable lesson there by having him stop playing in the middle of the season. Good parenting.
Participation Trophies were given to today’s late 20’s and 30 somethings when we were literal children. We didn’t ask for them, they weren’t our idea, we thought they were stupid, nobody cared either way if they got one or not and they all ended up in the trash immediately or at the bottom of a keepsakes bin. I don’t understand the fascination with blaming millennials for something they had zero control over.
The whole leftovers thing really hit home lol, I love my boomer/early gen X parents ❤️
I'm a GenX dad...giving the attention we never got as kids, but with Boomer tendencies.
How is this guy a baby boomer!? 1946-1964 were the baby boomer years. He looks pretty darn good for a man in his late fifties or older!
I think it's about the attitude and approach....not the guy's actual age.
@@norandmurr1432 I looked at it more like a timeline situation... The boomer parenting in the 80/90s vs. the Millennial parenting now.
Boomer checking in, eh?
I’m a millennial. But without a shadow of a doubt I’m a boomer dad lol. I got my ass kicked as a kid, especially from my mom. Now while I don’t touch my kids. I’m definitely old school when it comes to parenting because that’s how I was raised!
Nah.... the way I see it is you can either do it the Millennial way or the RIGHT way.
I'm a gen x and I am definitely a mix of both. No problem to have the talk and no problem yelling at my kid if she get annoying 😁
This is so funny. I’m Gen X raised by a Dad from The Greatest Generation and a mom from the Silent Generation(my dad was QUITE a bit older than my mom)
I have a millennial and a Gen Z and even though there’s just a few years difference in age and they were raised by 2 Gen Xers, the difference between the two is 100 percent noticeable. For instance, my millennial can write and read cursive and my Gen Z would die if life savings instructions were written in cursive. It’s so funny to see the differences!
I actually liked the way the mellenial handled some of those situations. A combo of both dads would actually make a pretty balanced dad. Perfect having Miles play the boomer dad.
Boomer here 😃 millennial dad forgot to do the “I’m gonna count to 10 and you better do xyz 😅
Oh snap not the counting!!!
Lol I'm in my 80s. I've seen all kinds of parenting. Many worked, a few, total disaster.. But he's right on about the differences.
The boomer dad looks like a Generation Xer
I'm a millennial mom but apparently my spirit animal is a boomer dad. *internal panic*
😂😂😂😂
I'm a boomer dad. I consulted The Lord before we had children. He proceeds to give us the best that he could. One is 36 and the other 30 now and I am proud of both of them.
lol
Definitely not my dad. 😂
@@anoldranger1575 So my dad was a two-time Viet Nam 1st. Sgt now buried in the Coastal Carolina veteran's Cemetary at camp Johnson NC. He was rarely home from his ventures in the military, but I am here to say to you that we all have a life that is placed before us. The dash between our birth and death date on our tomb stones will reflect how we impacted our brothers and sisters while we were here on the earth. Will you be known by the good or the bad? I hope that is the good in your life! God Bless!
My dad was great but strict. The only thing is his generation never showed emotions. That’s one thing Jesus has showed me. Men can show emotions, men can love and care for his family. I am a strict dad to my daughter. She knows I love and will do anything for her and her mother. My son is due in 1 month and he’ll know love and support.
Boomer dad was my dad and millennial dad was my mom 😂😂😂 They had very conflicting parenting styles. Although, if you got mom mad enough she would turn into ultra boomer dad
boomer, that's what my granddaughter calls me lol , and her mom ,my daughter keeps telling me it's not 1985 anymore ,can't do stuff like u used to. lol I still try 😁😁😁
"this isn't a restaurant" you be it isn't - eat it or starve
Boomer man here this is so damn accurate. You either made your own fun or you didn't have any. You followed orders or you got a bigger punishment than just timeouts. I miss those days
I am a product of a boomer dad( GEN X most capable ever), all my girls ride dirt bikes, drive off road machines and have amazing lives.. thanks Boomer dad.
Swing by whole foods? 🤣 Never said in my life.
I'm a baby boomer, now I'm a grandfather. My purpose is to be a bad influence on my grandson!
I agree with the "Boomer" Dad but the thing is , We're Not called Baby Boomer's we are Gen X not Baby Boomer's lol those are our Parents that are the Boomer's. Lol but still a great Video.
Who cares about labels? We are simply the "before" or the "after" generation.... _before_ we went to hell or _after_ we went to hell.
I think he was saying Boomer vs Millennial to compare his childhood to his parenting. Gen X is simply the forgotten generation in the middle, as usual. Lol
So what do you think boomers did... just curious
Laugh my effing ass off I’m a boomer dad from 1961 good luck to the future generations🙏🏻😎😂✌️
Thank you!
You're not a boomer.
@@kristybarnes2563 anyone born 1946-1964 is a boomer.
@@kristybarnes2563 He's a young boomer
I love he says his wife would be pissed and that why the kid isn’t walking home 😂
When my kids didn't put on their seat belts, I just break checked their asses! The one that did put her seat belt on, we just laughed and laughed together. Good times.
Boomer Dad: You get in trouble at school and you'll get it twice as bad at home.
Millennial Dad: You get in trouble at school and we'll call our lawyer and threaten to sue.
Also late gen X is like that, because millennials are having babies just now!
@Sadia Sharmeen exactly!! Also millennials aren’t having as many babies because they can’t afford them, not only zoomers are struggling with what boomers left for us all!
They act like Gen X Doesn’t exist.
Yes we do
Or call us boomers. I'm not old enough to be a boomer that's MY dad lol
Everyone mixes up millenials and gen z too.
Like Edward Norton said in Fight Club, our generation is the forgotten middle child. And we truly are.
How did it happen? We were so cool! We didn't just see The Breakfast Club, we WERE the Breakfast Club! We were the generation that raised awareness about everything from the environment to injustice in Africa and everything in between. We were the US Festival, we were Band Aid, Live Aid, Farm Aid, we got inspired by U2, Nelson Mandela, and Amnesty International. We left high school bound and determined to take on the world and believed what we were told; that if we did the right things, went to the right college and got the right degree, we'd be the successful adults our parents were.
But we ended up taking care of our parents while taking care of our kids. We stood by waiting for our lives to begin while the years rolled by and the media fascination with our parents continued.
The torch has been passed right over our heads to the millennials as though we never existed, because in the eyes of the media, we didn't.
There is a sweet spot somewhere between the 2 lol.
The ending was hilarious bc it always comes full circle doesn't it?
Millennial dad= participation trophies 🏆 specially that first scene lol 😏 I’d hate dealing with parents like that.
Millennial dad = didn’t imagine, create, or hand out participation trophies to himself as a kid and they didn’t mean sh1t to him but sure, participation trophies was a plot by millennials to woke the world.
Back when parents had something called a spine.
I'm always left out... Gen X here! I'm more like a cross between the two! 🤣
2:19 back in my day, we didn’t have forks. We had to eat with our hands 🙌🏾. 😂
I'm a millennial but my dads a Gen Xer. He definitely is a combo of the two generations. He would always want me to get a chance to pitch or bat ect. But if I did he would do the tough love boomer routine.
I don't have kids but weirdly enough even though I'm neither of those generations, I think I would actually be the mother version of both the baby boomer and the millennial dad! Sometimes watching the baby boomer I was like, yep I'd do that, other times watching the millennial dad I was like yep, I'd do that. LOL
I am both of these depending on my energy level! Haha! Love it! SO funny!🤣
I'd be both too. For e.g. if I had kids, sometimes it would be the fussy food and other times left overs LOL
More like OG Gen'xer dad vs Millennial dad
I'm a late baby boomer gal - so would rather have the boomer dad any day! You knew what was what & was able to take care of yourself (hard work & manners go a long way in this world was the phrase at our hone)
Boomer dad is the literal manifestation of my father and I love it
Im a millennial who was born in 1994 and I grew up in a poor family. I didn't have my first desktop computer until I was 20, I didn't get a flip phone until I was 21, and I didn't have my first i-phone until I was 24. Man technology sure changed fast from 2000 to 2020. When I was in high school I just read a lot of books during break time when everyone else was on their phones playing games. At least I went to college, university, and trade school with no debt! Still don't have any debt to this day. No loans, credit cards mortgage. I was raised by a baby boomer, my father, whom was very strict and frugal about introducing new technology to me when I was growing up. But it sure seemed to do wonders for me later in life!
I think I am a even mixture of the both 😂😂
Good! Either one is too much! A mix of both is the best.
I'm a millennial by age, but I identify as a boomer dad. I've said everything he said.
He is not a boomer. He is younger than me and my parents are boomers.
I was thinking that too, but I think they just mean he's PORTRAYING a boomer dad? 🤷♂️ makes sense.
I'm the boomer dad 100%.
Gen X gets lost in the fray
@@sog4646 We're okay with that.
"we didnt even have forks. we ate um with our hands!" 😂
For some reason these young people think "boomers" are still young enough to have kids. I'm a boomer and my grandchildren are adults now.
Or it's a timeline portrayal of how each generation raised their kids.
I'm loving the Boomer dad
I'm apparently a millennial raising my sons like Boomers with the millennial sensibility.
"2nd place is first looser" 🤣🤣🤣
That is so funny and hits close to home. My kids all joined the Army to get a break!🤣
