I am sick and tired of the baby boomers.

This, folks, is what day care does to a kid. They grow up and don't see the value in anyone as they age.

Me, a boomer, will take care of my parents when necessary, until the day they die, just as we did for my mother-in-law and will-do for my father-in-law. Just as they did for me, my sister, and my brother. Because that is what good people do.

Carry on!

Wait, what? A baby boomer being smug and self-congratulatory? Get out of here! Don't believe it!

Damn straight. It's called pride. You'd have to actually do something besides blame others to know what it feels like though.

Were you actually raised by a loving parent instead of cast into group care at an age when bonding was critical, you might have learned how to selflessly give.

Unfortunately, our Veterans are learning too, what happens when the man ultimately in charge of their care is abandoned and passed around as a child. He too, doesn't learn how to bond, only to blame. And to cook the books so his numbers 'add up'.

??? Um, please do shut it. You aren't speaking for me and are a bit embarrassing.
Signed,

Leaving aside the Obama stuff since this is not the political forum, aren't the Boomers the generation famous for being the FIRST to actually use daycare instead of staying home with their kids? Those weren't X-ers wearing those floppy bow "ties" with blouses and sneakers.

Who cast us as toddlers into group care in the 70s? Who gave us as preteens our own set of house keys in the 80s? Whose divorce rates skyrocketed during these decades, furthering the need for all-day childcare and the epidemic of latchkey kids?

Once the Boomers quit puffing the magic dragon 24/7, their lifestyle became one of consumption, and their kids were handed over to strangers or left to fend for themselves.

I live in a grey area-- warm climate and big Boomer population. Their media is always harping on about identity theft. Because for Boomers, that is the biggest scare of modern life-- protecting what's theirs. Sick and selfish.

I guess I would just ask:
Who paid for the Gen X's home they lived in growing up?
At what age did the GenX begin supporting themselves outside their parents' home - if, in fact, they have moved out yet (and stayed out)?
Who actually paid for their college and their clothing, food and shelter until they moved out?
How many GenX still receive stipends from their parents or guardians so they can make ends meet?
Who takes care of the GenX's grandparents or their kids while they chase the lifestyle they believe they deserve without working for it?
Who took up the mantle of freedom and equality during the 60s and 70s so that women and people of color could have the rights (in housing, business, schooling,etc.) they are granted by their creator?
Who fought in the courts for sexual harassment laws so that women wouldn't be forced to sleep with the boss to keep the job that paid for food and clothing for their kids?
What generation invented the technology GenX relies on for daily life?

Where is the gratitude? Really? Kick us to the curb?

Boomers I know paid for their own college/post high school training , worked full time and moved out of their parents' home by the age of 18. Whining wasn't an option; Boomers were on their own to make life work. Innovation and hard work was the order of the day, not condemnation and entitlement. Boomers devote much of their wealth and their time to making life better for others - for their parents, their kids, their grandkids and those less fortunate than they are. Sheesh-reality check.

And if GenX doesn't like the way things are, they should change them like Boomers did- without neglecting your own responsibilities.

+100 Couldn't agree more with this part of our post! My parents have not passed away, but my sisters and I adored them and would have done anything for them. I have the same feelings for my husband and our kids, grandchildren, and siblings.
