[quote=Anonymous]Can we stop with the “boomers” thing?

First of all, your parents care and help when it matters. I know it’s hard to understand, but they were separate people with lives of their own before your birth. They are still separate people with thoughts, dreams, and the like since your birth.

I think for some parents, especially older ones, it’s hard to understand that the works is different. They very much had a planned trajectory, due to no fault of their own. Thank goodness many of them broke out of it, but the training is still there.

Have you ever had a discussion with your mom about your ,Ike’s /preferences/ dislikes? She may care but not know how to approach it. Be kind - many of these women were cultured into the fact that women do xyz, and don’t have an opinion, even if they do.

Stop putting up divisions and start empathizing. Look at your part as an adult. How do you treat your mother? Are you someone she would like to get to know, or do you treat her and an exhausting relic?[/quote]
