Just as the title says really. They would have only been 3 by the year 2000. They are a 00's kid, right?

My cut off for anyone claiming they are a child of the decade they were born in is 19X3 maybe 19X4 at a push and even then most of their childhood would have been spent in the next decade

Yup, I was born on a decade cusp and consider myself a child of the following decade.

halfwitpicker · 02/01/2019 21:02

I was 82 and consider myself a 90s kid. Shame as i prefer 80's music.

MountPheasant · 02/01/2019 21:02

Yep. Born in 88, child of the 90’s. My sister was born 96 and she’s definitely a 00’s

CrookedMe · 02/01/2019 21:03

I was born in 78 and I've definitely never thought of myself as a 70's kid!

Springiscoming70 · 02/01/2019 21:03

Yes definitely a child of the next decade. I very much doubt they remember any of the 90's

Ellieboolou27 · 02/01/2019 21:04

Born 77 so 80/90’s I should have been born in the 60’s though as that’s my favourite era

Echobelly · 02/01/2019 21:05

I agree, I think of myself as a 90s kid, though I was born in the 70s, because my teens started in 1990. Strictly speaking, I was an 80s kid, and the 90s were the 'years of my youth' tho.

greendale17 · 02/01/2019 21:06

Yep I agree

museumum · 02/01/2019 21:09

Yep. 76 and definitely child of the 80s teenager of the 90s.

BernardsarenotalwaysSaints · 02/01/2019 21:12

Yep, born '88 so 90's childhood 00's teen. Favourite music is 70's/80's though.

Boredboredboredboredbored · 02/01/2019 21:16

Born in 1977 and definitely an 80s child

IndigoSpritz · 02/01/2019 21:18

I was born in January 1971. I am a seventies child.

HerondaleDucks · 02/01/2019 21:20

I was born in 92 but although my early childhood was in the 90s, I think of myself as a 00s child as those were the years I turned into a teenager and did my real growing up.

CesiraAndEnrico · 02/01/2019 21:21

Born in 68, not a child of the sixties.

I'm deffo a 70s kid. As evidenced by my nervous air when arm twisted to set foot on a farm, or escalator.

Poodloo · 02/01/2019 21:26

I was born in 92 and have always thought of myself as a 90s kid!

IRememberSoIDo · 02/01/2019 21:26

Born in 79, nearly consider myself more a 90's kid in some ways as was a teenager then but 80's at heart.

mumofmunchkin · 02/01/2019 21:27

Definitely, I was born in 1985 and consider myself a 90’s kid

ShadyLady53 · 02/01/2019 21:28

Born in 84 but definitely consider myself to be a 90s kid.

Dreamscomingtrue · 02/01/2019 21:32

Born in 56, consider myself a 60’s kid, 70’s teenager. Best of both worlds music wise, although I think the 70’s music was better as there was such a variety.

ThatsNotNiceRoger · 02/01/2019 21:32

Born in 78, definitely see myself as an 80s child, as I was! And a 90s teenager. Barely remember the end of the 70s.

PurpleFlower1983 · 02/01/2019 21:32

1983, I’m a 90s kid.

TheToldYouSoDance · 02/01/2019 21:33

Born in 73. I’m an 80s kid and a 90s raver. 😎😂

neddle · 02/01/2019 21:34

Public safety adverts.
Creeped most of us out with them at the time and I still hate escalators.

MrsBungle · 02/01/2019 21:34

Agreed. I was born in 78 and was an 80’s kid and a 90’s teenager.
