[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Re: Boomer entitlement! This is what’s changed in a generation: Boomer grandparents EXPECT to be hyper-involved in all aspects! Childcare! Photos on SM! Going to every event! Elaborate vacations! Hands-on help with the grands! Calling them Grands! Goofy-cool grandma names : Gigi & Lulu & Mimi & Glamma with Pops! Holiday cards holding the grands like they are the parents!

All the above so they get all the attention! Am I the grandma or mom? Look at us - active grandparents! I don’t look like a grandma!

Sounds great but it’s all smoke and mirrors. Everything’s a facade. There’s no deep relationship there because that’s messy and imperfect. These grandparents are only around for the photo ops and will be absent during illnesses, accidents, setbacks and stressful situations then wonder why they never see their young adult grandchildren anymore.

Who are you actually talking about? Sounds personal. Why are you generalizing to other people's parents?[/quote]
