30 Of The Funniest ‘My Parents Vs. Me’ Tweets
It doesn’t come as a surprise that we and our parents at our age are light-years apart. When it comes to our lifestyles, choices, and values, it seems like we were born on different planets. But there’s only one way to find out what exactly was so different for them than it is for us now, and it’s looking at hard evidence, aka photo albums.
With so much free time on our hands during this festive season in quarantine, the chances are you'll stumble upon one or two great pics that will bring out a blast from the past. And people on Twitter are all in for the "My Parents Vs. Me" challenge, posting snaps of family members where age is the only parallel you’ll find.
We have selected some of the cutest, funniest, and most illuminating posts that show how generations have changed. And after you’re done, don’t forget to check out Bored Panda’s previous post with "Me Vs. My Parents" memes that put a comical spin on these generational differences.

Probably not too different. The parents look like their in a photo shoot of some sort, so they are going to look more formal. The "me" side is them just goofing around. I am sure that the parents goofed off like that when they were in their 20's too, just obviously not in a formal photo.

No shame in wanting to complete your education and go out into the world on your own. I did it and have zero regrets.

The '80's were a great time for music and stuff, bad time for hair.

This happens for everyone worldwide. My grandma was a grandma at my age. My mom had a child in college. And I am single with a beautiful cat :)

Sooooooooooo many kids use to get married & have babies. I'm glad that we wait now. I'm almost 50 & never got married or gave birth.....it doesn't HAVE to be done. I'm in a long term relationship raising kids that needed parents. It all works out in the end. HAVE FUN & STAY YOUNG!!!

Heck ya! Best thing my Nana ever taught me: Age is just a number the moment you start "acting" your age is when you start feeling your age. Be responsible, get your adult s*** handled, after that love what you love. 😂Nana wasn't "forced" to watch anime with her grandkids, she loved it too! (This was advice given when I was deciding I was "too old" for my dolls... I wasn't really ready to give them up. 😅)

I've heard too many comments from baby-boomers and others moaning about how later generations don't acieve anything to find these funny, I'm afraid. The cost of living Vs. wages (particularly those of young adults) has skyrocketed in most countries. Education is frankly unaffordable for most, in many western countries. Not to mention house prices. Don't get me wrong, I like self-depreciating humour in the right places and doses, but this hits a little close to reality.

This. My partner and I make SIGNIFICANTLY less, dollar for dollar, than either of our parents at our age, even though we are both more/better educated than either of our parents. And that's not even adjusting for inflation.
