Hey, you know what they say about our generation: At the age of 10 we were 30, and now at 50 we're still 30.

Ain't that the fucking truth.

The life of every Gen-X kid I grew up with was eerily similar.

Monday-Friday:

Wake up
Make your own breakfast because parents have to go to work. If eldest child, make breakfast for younger siblings. A friend and her siblings divided breakfast where each sibling was responsible for one thing. Sue eggs and bacon, Ed milk and juice, Jimmy buttered toast, Sally plates and utensils. I always thought that was cool.
Catch bus to and from school
Alone and unsupervised until dinnertime (aka, when the street lights come on)
Have dinner with parent(s)
Go to room to do homework and/or listen to music and/or spend toouch time on the phone.
Sleep and repeat

Saturday & Sunday:

Breakfast with parents...maybe Sunday dinner. Other than that, stay out of the house so parents can enjoy their weekend.
