[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Idk if I'm in a bubble or what but it seems parents want to keep their 2+2 family unit intact for as long as they can by postponing steps like leaving home, having a serious romantic relationship, working etc. They keep suggesting staying at home, not taking steps in any romantic relationship, getting more degrees before starting work .... guess unintentionally extending adolescence for keeping birth family their center.[/quote] +1. Along with keeping the birth family center is boomers’ refusal to retire. My 44 year old GS-15 DH has a boss who is in her late 60s but won’t retire because she’s too young, needs to pay off vacation home, support adult children, etc. She also thinks he’s a youngster because our kids are in elementary school. Apparently he’s not an adult until our kids are in college. I think boomers are afraid of finding a new purpose in life. They think having grown independent kids=uselessness=one step closer to the grave.[/quote]
