[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Boomers had their parents (sometimes both sets!) nearby. And they were helpful. Now as grandparents they want all the fun without any of the assistance. It sucks.[/quote] Did you stay near your parents? Everyone I know who stayed near their parents (not the ones who moved to be closer to parents for help with childcare during covid, that's a whole different set of people), but the ones who went to college, then moved back to their hometown or whose parents moved to be near them after they settled somewhere, they all have close relationships with their families. The people who moved to be near their families for childcare because they felt entitled to their help during Covid, or the ones whose parents live several hours drive or flight away and feel entitled to childcare at the drop of a hat are just being ridiculous.[/quote]
