[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Boomers are not some monolithic group.  What is relevant to this debate are the boomers with the relatively affluent demographics of DCUM denizens.  People born between 1946-1964 (the boomers) started turning 18 in 1964.  The idea that a large proportion of the (affluent) DCUM boomer crowd needed and benefited from lots of grandparent help to support two careers flies in the face of the fact that far fewer of those families had two stressful careers back in the dark ages of the 1960’s, 1970’s, 1980’s, and 1990’s than is true in today’s DMV.[/quote]

I don’t think most of us are asking for full-time childcare.  In my case, I can’t get them to watch kids briefly once or twice a year.[/quote]

This. [/quote]

The PP just before you is saying the article and many millennials want less than full-time but more than just a few times per year.

Which is it?
