Generational divides often result in misunderstandings, with parents believing they know their children despite a lack of genuine connection. Many millennials express disappointment in their parents' inability to engage with their lives, feeling that parents only relate to surface-level behaviors. Personal anecdotes highlight instances where parental indifference is felt, such as lack of interest in significant achievements like filmmaking. The shared experiences reflect a longing for deeper relationships and a recognition of the emotional rifts that exist as generations evolve.
Our parents really don't know us. Sad part is they're convinced they do.
It really does feel like my parents only care about me to the extent that they can personally identify with my behavior.
I made a feature film, and neither of my parents asked anything much about it or asked to see it. It's so wild that our parents don't care at all.
