[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Your in-laws aren't Boomers, they are Silent Generation.[/quote]

Exactly what I was going to post.   
The oldest boomers were born in '46 (I've even seen it specified as the second half of '46.)   So the oldest boomers are currently 77 (or maybe just turned 78 in the last month, if you're not be so specific as to only count the second half of '46.)[/quote]

NP here. This is what you’re focused on? Sweet Jesus. FFS. [/quote]

A person focused on Boomer bashing with this manufactured generational angst isn't to be taken seriously. These are in-laws, not even her parents. Let the spouse deal.[/quote]

And you just know OP would whine mercilessly if her ILs moved near her and her doctor husband. There is no pleasing her.[/quote]

I wouldn't be so sure. I know people whose parents finally moved closer, and the friends are thrilled. There's still friction on certain points, but losing the day-to-day worries has let a much better relationship develop[/quote]
