[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I do get a bit annoyed at my boomer parents, who are always on vacation, while I have small children at home, a demanding career, and cannot get enough sleep.[/quote] You had them. Why is it up to your parents to take the pressure off?[/quote] Their own parents helped them out quite a lot. However, they will not return the favor as grandparents themself. They are pretty much checked out.[/quote] Some did for sure. Everyone didn't live close together, though. The youngest boomers (1946 - 64) are coming up on 60; still working age. I'm 53. My grandparents didn’t help raise me. I can think of one or two friends who even saw their grandparents regularly. [/quote]
