TV Dads Lied to Gen X: No Money, No Help, Just Guilt

Описание: Part 1 turned into a full-blown Gen X group therapy session… so we’re back.
In this episode, we’re digging into three of the biggest sitcom lies that rewired our brains as kids:
– The magically wise TV dad
– The fake Al Bundy “struggling” middle class
– And the “having it all” scam that left Gen X burned out, broke, and wondering what we did wrong at 45, 50, 55
This isn’t just nostalgia. It’s about why so many of us still feel like failures in a game that was rigged from the pilot episode.

Timestamps:
– The comments from Part 1 went off… so here’s Part 2
– TV dads vs the flashlight-holding reality
– The Al Bundy economy and the fake 90s middle class
– The “having it all” lie that wrecked Gen X women (and men)
– Why your life isn’t broken – the script was
– Your turn: the TV lies that still mess with your head
If you grew up on sitcoms, thought adulthood would look like a Very Special Episode, and instead got gig work, debt, and a bad back… this one’s for you.
👉 Missed Part 1? Go watch that first, then come back to this.
👉 Part 3 is coming – I’m using your comments as material, so don’t hold back.
Drop your worst TV lie in the comments: the show, the scene, and how it screwed up your expectations. I’ll pull the best ones for the next episode.

👇 ABOUT GEN X UNFILTERED 👇

We are the generation that raised itself on hose water, microwave dinners, and zero supervision. If you survived the '80s and '90s without a helmet or a trigger warning, you’re in the right place.

This channel is about Gen X survival skills for modern life. We’re figuring out:
▶ Parenting (without the "gentle" fluff)
▶ Setting Boundaries (and dealing with toxic family drama)
▶ Money & Career (navigating the grind)
▶ Mental Health (unpacking the damage we laughed off years ago)

No experts, no gurus, just real talk from someone who was told to "figure it out" and actually did.

Subscribe if you’re tired of the noise. It’s cheaper than therapy.
