Your oldest child is likely Generation X! While your kid had plenty of freedom to play outside and enjoy being a kid, you also had set boundaries and weren't afraid to lay down the law. Your kids didn't rely on video games or the internet to have a good time because they were too busy playing with Legos or building worlds outside. As a parent, you were equal parts encouraging and realistic. You made sure your kids knew that things wouldn't always come easy, but with hard work, anything was possible!

Your oldest child is definitely Generation Z! You really want your kid to like you and be your friend, so much so, that you definitely don't like to set too many boundaries or push the limits. To you, it's important that your child have plenty of time to hang out with friends online, play games, or just be a kid. You aren't afraid to stick up for your child, even if they're in the wrong at school or work. In fact, you'll almost always take their side!

Your oldest child was definitely a millennial! You were a hands on parent who set boundaries, but also let your kid be a kid. You weren't afraid to let them eat junk food or play outside for hours, because that's what childhood is all about. Sure, they played some video games, but they also worked hard at school, used their imaginations, and focused on being good people. While you were always a very encouraging parent who told your child they could be anything, you weren't afraid to throw in a dash of realism.
