[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't know wtf you are trying to say, but my boomer mom is great. I have taken care of so many elders and so far she is healthier than I am. She's also kind, appreciative, and reasonable. My silent generation father has a lot to answer for. [/quote]what was the age difference of your parents?[/quote]

My dad born in 1945, is 81 and is silent. My mom born in 1948 is boomer. [/quote]

Yep. It’s silly to use a specific time stamp.   There are silent generation, boomer and Gen X  parents who are in poor health and many in great health.  As we all get older it can go either way.   My mother is silent generation I guess, 82, and is in incredible health. She lives alone, she’s a widow now and raised six kids.   She has helped me her whole life with babysitting, cleaning, just being there. I never asked her to clean she just always come to the house early and couldn’t sit still.   No housekeeper when she’s capable of doing it herself.  Any way a person can stay active and useful gives you better odds of staying in better shape as you age.

I feel bad for the posters who had bad relationships with their parents and hope they can break that cycle.  [/quote]
