[quote=Anonymous]My Boomer parents bicker nonstop too. Mom was a SAHM who cooked and cleaned for decades and kept an immaculate house. (Although you still had to hear about it and she'd yell if you made a mess) After dad retired, she got really upset about how he didn't start doing his 50% and she hasn't stopped complaining since. She's just bitter about her generation. She sees her daughters married men who change diapers, cook and clean 50%, and do so much more than just bring home a paycheck. She was shocked at how well dh took care of me when I was postpartum and also when I was bed ridden. Her mom had had to do such things when she was hospitalized.

I love my dad and don't think he's a bad husband. He doesn't make much mess, praises her cooking and fixes everything. But he thinks her cleaning standards are too high and he wants to relax and enjoy his retirement more and wishes she did the same.

The bickering is never ending though. I'm still glad they're married. I can't imagine putting up with either one of them on my own. [/quote]
