  • Well the first thing was that way before we decided to have kids we both agreed that if we ever had kids then separated we would not have them live the chaos and woes that our own parents made us go through when they got separated and divorced. Our utopia was somehow co-owning a triplex and us having our own apartment and the kids being in the third unit so that we would be the one to switch every weeks but obviously that didn’t happen because we’re not rich 😅

    But yeah, there’s a deep mutual respect between us and there’s obviously some kind of love but yeah, we make it work. It’s not always easy especially when we have relationships outside of our parenting relationship but with communication and boundaries it’s doable.

    So yeah, I guess communication and having the same goals was the key to making this work.









  • Been thinking about it but it means ditching my S21 Ultra which I’ve used forever so I’m trying to modify my phone enough that it’s basically useless to them, rooting, revanced, uninstalling their services when I can, using alternate emails that are bot linked to any google account for their apps, disabling all the tracking etc etc.

    The day something like Graphene gets built for Samsung phones, I will make the switch instantly.

    Hell, if I can I’ll get it on linux phones and use that instead…

    Buying computer / tech with birthday money is so real. I bought my first computer with birthday / summer work money at like 15 years old or something. Fighting to use the phone line to get online was a constant hassle. I remember my friends calling me so that I would hop on IRC 😅 I remember first time my mom picked up the line while I was connected, she screamed at me because she thought I had broken the phone. Having to teach our parents about these things is very relevant to our generation too I think.


  • It’s a fuzzy micro-generation, it’s considered to be people who were born approximately between 1977 and 1985. We define generations by social trends and researchers find that the events, tools & technology present during their youth greatly impact how a generation interacts with and view the world.

    Gen X was well into adulthood when the internet and social media appeared and Millenials were so young that they basically had it their whole lives. Xenials are the ones that lived through the technological shift during their youth and teens.
