Exactly what I was going to post.   
The oldest boomers were born in '46 (I've even seen it specified as the second half of '46.)   So the oldest boomers are currently 77 (or maybe just turned 78 in the last month, if you're not be so specific as to only count the second half of '46.)[/quote]

NP here. This is what you’re focused on? Sweet Jesus. FFS. [/quote]

A person focused on Boomer bashing with this manufactured generational angst isn't to be taken seriously. These are in-laws, not even her parents. Let the spouse deal.[/quote]

Far away aging parents in need of care is a strain on a whole marriage, not just the spouse whose parents it is. It's money, it's time away, and it's worry weighing on your spouse.[/quote]

Ok but it's not a "Boomer" issue. OP is latching on to the wrong thing for shock value. She failed. [/quote]

She's framing the issue through her personal experience as a boomer issue. I think that unless you are a defensive boomer, it's easy to just focus on the issue at hand which is elderly relatives in a different state and a very tough thing to deal with.[/quote]

Nah, there are plenty of resources  for  the OP to access, including her husband who can absolutely arrange things. But the Boomer label seems to be OP's bigger problem  ( why?) because she is just kind of immature. That is the problem. [/quote]
