[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There's a joke from a comedian that I'm paraphrasing...

'You Boomers complaining we got too many participation trophies BUT YOU WERE THE ONES IN CHARGE OF THE TROPHIES'

If Millennials are a certain way, Boomer parents need to look no further than at themselves. But that's never been their strong point now is it?[/quote]
Again.... Boomers are generally not raising much of Millennials, can't you count?[/quote]

What??? Millennials were born 1980-2000. Boomers were 1945-1965. Dont most people have children between the ages of 25-35? Who do you think were raising them? I'm a GenXer who was 5 in 1980 so it sure as heck wasnt us.[/quote]

The last year for boomers to be born is 1955. Baby Boomers were born  in the years directly following WWII and were themselves subject to the draft during the Vietnam war. The draft ended in 1973; so anyone born after 1955 is not a Boomer.

People born in the late 50s and early 60s don't really have a generational "name."  When this group was growing up, they were never considered as part of the Baby Boomers: the Baby Boomers were their older siblings.
