As a Gen-X/Boomer cusp "old-middle-ager", I'm laughing so hard. We all made fun of "the old folks" but now we're them. Happens to the best of us, if we're lucky.

I realized I had crossed over to the adult side when I saw two little kids playing leapfrog, and instead of thinking 'aww that looks like fun', I thought 'one of them will miss and land on the other kid, and then they'll start fighting'.

Omg I feel this! I find myself constantly grumbling about the "youth of today" who are all somehow stepping out on their own with no clue about living as an adult. They have no idea how to do housework, have terrible work ethics, and don't know how household bills work. Its so weird because I'm literally only in the late 20s and am talking about 17-22 year olds. Theres literally about a 10 year difference max.

I've been experiencing a not inconsiderable number of these since I was in my mid-20s. I'm now 40 (so borderline Millennial depending on the metric used - I think I'm closer to Gen X, but there's apparently only a year in it)

My retirement plan has always been to have a house with an attic, and to get an air rifle, then shoot at the gnome statues in my lawn the middle of the night while shouting "GET OFF MY LAWN!" Then I'll call the police the next morning to complain about the kids trashing my front yard again.
