[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You just described most baby boomers. This isn’t an age thing. They’ve always been like that. My mom has maybe a 5 minute quota of interest in other people in any conversation. After that, it needs to be about her or she gets bored. Thankfully, when we’re on the phone I can just let her prattle on and I can do something else. She doesn’t even notice.[/quote] No it isn't baby boomers. Just stop. Why do you generalize your Mom's behavior to everyone? If we asked about you, you would also suggest we are meddling. I am a baby boomer, have 3 adult kids. I have plenty of interest in them, in other people, in other interests. It's not about baby boomers, it's just whether one is an asshat or not. It's not generational. Also, why not show some interest in your Mom's life occasionally? She's not out to pasture, she's still a person. Act like you would if she were a contemporary. Don't start labeling because you have no patience. [/quote]
