Managed to remember it's Friday this week π€£
Parents - I think it's the Generation Z's, I think they grew up in the 'good years' and expect everything to be handed to them π¬ I think this age group are also most shocked/affected by the COL crisis as possiby never really had to struggle before, new TV's, mutliple cheap holidays etc. Yes, some may have been affected by the 2008 crash- but may have been to young at actually notice!
I also think many are working more/longer hours now too, but not getting the same luxuries it afforded before and therefore are more tired themselves - for example we have a food chain pub near us, a few years ago at around 5-7pm it used to be full of parents/children all having a quick meal on the way home from work/school/nursery (still in uniforms- including parents!) nowadays the pub is almost empty at these times, I guess it now means having to cook at home more... later nights for everyone = even more tired, cranky parents and children!
We have some fantastic parents, we also have an equal amount of needy ones too!
Have a good weekend everyone x π
