☆ I'm a 40-year-old millennial, and I love it when my parents give me gifts
▼ + stars: | 2024-08-23 | by ( Rashi Goel | ) www.businessinsider.com time to read: +3 min

From when I was a schoolgirl through college until today, my mother has always offered to buy me clothes, shoes, and more. I'm quite sure this is partly because she would like me to dress better and partly because I'm her daughter, and she loves me. I also have a myriad of memories of my father bringing me documents to sign when I was quite young. At no point in my life have I saved up to buy jewelry, and I can count the times when I have saved up money to buy anything. I'm 40 now, and as I stare at my daughter smiling, I spot the tiny diamond earrings sparkling in her ears and smile, too.

Dozens of boats zipped across Casco Bay during the Maine Lobster Boat Races on Saturday. That boat, a 32-footer with a powerful diesel engine, belonged to Jeremy Beal, 45, a large, soft-spoken man who comes from a long line of boat builders and lobstermen. “See, I grew up right in it,” he said between drags of a cigarette while leaning against the rail of his boat on the evening before the big race. For decades, Mr. Beal’s father, Wayne Beal, and an uncle, Calvin Beal, have built boats used by commercial fishers up and down the Maine coast. After years spent learning the family trade, Jeremy took over his dad’s business, Wayne Beal’s Boat Shop, in Jonesport, a seaside town more than 200 miles northeast of Portland.

The sight at the Democratic convention on Wednesday night of Tim Walz’s 17-year-old son leaping to his feet, with streaming eyes, a hand to his chest with a cry of “That’s my Dad” was heart piercing. Gus Walz has, according to his parents, a nonverbal learning disorder, A.D.H.D. One of the joys of my life in the social churn of New York is living with a son whose inability to read the room makes him incapable of telling anything but the truth. Once, as my husband, Harry Evans, and I left a pretentious social gathering in the Hamptons, Georgie told the host sunnily: “Thank you very much. No one spoke to me really, so it was a very boring evening.

When I was a high school educator, I got a surprising phone call from a parent one morning. I was speechless — I'd never heard someone ask to volunteer at the high school level before. AdvertisementBut I don't see many parents in school hallways in middle and high school. Family involvement dwindles every year after 5th grade, and by high school, I only see parents discussing serious stuff like grades and college admissions. Some parents who usher at plays or poetry readings enjoy it so much, they say they want to go back to high school again.

They've managed to do all that while never making more than about $200,000 combined in yearly income from work. "We got our first house young, but we didn't buy all new furniture; we furnished it with hand-me-downs and thrift store finds," Wallace said.

When 36-year-old Nelson Cheney was little, he began eating spicy peppers and sauces to impress his dad. Cheney, known by his social media handle “@craving_capsaicin” — a nod to the chemical compound that gives chili peppers their heat — got hooked on the adrenaline rush he feels when he eats extremely spicy foods. Both sour and spicy foods generate painful responses, though they activate different nerves in the body. “I’ve got so many people that went from not even eating hot stuff to having a tolerance and now eating spicy food daily. Children and teens tend to be most susceptible to social media challenges, which is why Trucco said parents should pay attention, too.
