[quote=Anonymous]So we are boomers and even though we help out so much with our grandkids that they’re almost our own—and every one of our boomer friends with grandkids also helps out quite a bit even if not to our extent—I constantly read on this website how awful we are so I decided to dig a little deeper. Yes, it appears we are overall not as helpful as prior generations and many of the younger generations label us as “selfish” when it comes to this as a result. But what I really think is going on is that we are the first generation where the majority of homes are two income driven and where women were encouraged to pursue their careers and think about their own needs, etc. And you all are next in line. So I suspect you all will also approach being grandparents the way you perceive many of us to be—less helpful than your own grandparents. The times they are a changing. [/quote]
