You're a little younger than me (young millennial), and a little older than my sister (old Z). And yeah, there's definitely a fuzzy border. We grew up with technology, which sounds like a gen Z experience, but that technology was not pervasive and everywhere, it was more like appointment viewing. We had the experience of really noticing the technology improving, which is more millennial. I relate to some of the typical millennial children's shows, like early Pokemon, Batman TOS, X-Men, and I'm familiar with many more even if I didn't like them myself (like Rugrats, Hey Arthur, Doug). But the shows that made up more of my core viewing are a little too recent to be called millennial, like Avatar, Kim Possible, and Lilo & Stich the series.
Also, while you had a millennial parent, I did not. Heck, I didn't even have gen X parents. My old folks are both younger boomers. Which I'm sure introduces its own variable to the equation.
