[quote=Anonymous]Well, OP, I am a boomer and I would be there in a heartbeat to help out with kids, spouse, whatever.  It is who I am.  
My philosophy is that now I am retired, I have the time to do the important things - volunteering (which I do a lot), helping neighbors, helping my kids - whatever is needed.  
I live in a community that is predominantly retired folks, and they are the same way.  It is hard for me to keep up with a lot of them in terms of volunteering.  And, they are constantly traveling to be with kids/grandkids to help out.  
So, it is not all baby boomers.  
Oh, and I live outside the DC area - far outside.  Maybe it’s that geographic area more than anything else?

And, as for millennials..... my experience with millennials, at the least the ones I know (and I have two millennial kids) - I am very, very impressed with their work ethic, their sense of self, their ambition, and their career focus.  I have nothing bad to say about them.

I am sad that our nation is leaving future generations with such incredible debt.  That is totally not fair.  
I wish our elected officials would do more about lowering our debt for you all.

Sorry your mother is not there for you at this time.  But, please, don’t demonize all boomers for your mother’s short comings.  
There are many of us who do care and take time to help others.  [/quote]
