[quote=Anonymous][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]
I’m not a boomer, but dayyyuuum. You actually resent your parents living their lives after they wiped your tail, raised you, worked at their career and got no sleep ?!
Grow up![/quote]

The whole story of boomers is getting benefits and then pulling up the ladder behind them. Everything from college affordability to help raising children. [/quote]

Yep. This is my inlaws to a T. They had tons of childcare help and didn't have to save for college because my FIL's parents paid for all the grandkids college. My inlaws actually have significantly more money than FIL's parents, because they sold the business that my grandfather in law built. Yet they do not help with childcare, or their grandkids college, or anything else. If we meet for dinner somewhere casual, they are SURE to tell the waiter we need separate checks. [/quote]

Same with my ILs. The dinner thing is particularly irritating because they are so picky with choosing where we eat.[/quote]
