[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Boomers are too busy and galavanting around on vacations to help their kids and grand kids, sad. Another example of boomer selfishness on top of the wealth taking and focusing younger generations to find their lifestyles, sad.

Boomer moms worked out of the home more than the previous generation.

I can't wait to go "glavanting around on vacations" once I'm retired.

I plan to take lots of nice vacations AND be a great source of help to my daughters. Why not both? For my in-laws, it’s not lack of time but lack of interest. [/quote]
PP here.  I would be ok with an occasional babysitting, but not regular babysitting.

I am not a kid person. I love my children, and will love any grandchildren I have, but I didn't relish everything about being a parent.  I don't want to relive it with my grandchildren. Plus, I will be 60+ when any grandchildren are born.  I don't want to be running after kids at that age.[/quote]
