[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Seriously, you can get on a plane and be there for any signficant events your family wants you there for and you won't haunt them when they don't want you...[/quote]

OMG!  I had to read this twice to make sure that this is actually an adult child talking about their parents. OP, can you have any lower standards as this! I am a grandparent and feel so sad for your family. You will most likely feel a need to call names and attack me but seriously, you need help. [/quote]

The boomer generation believes they’re wanted everywhere, all the time, and expects everyone to rearrange their schedules for them. Guess what - we don’t!

Grandparents are great and there’s a time and place, but too often the boomer generation of grandparents tries to take over - family vacations, holidays, etc and make it about them. Let your kids grow and breathe for gods sake!

The fact that some - not all - grandparents try and demand their adult children move nearer or finance their own move because THEY want it, is just so mind boggling. It’s the level of entitlement that so many boomer grandparents show that we all object to. [/quote]
