[quote=Anonymous]I am a person on the young side of the baby boomers (55).  To generalize, I would say the boomers who are 10+ years older than I am can be problematic.  Again, to generalize, they think in terms of right and wrong and they tend to think they are always right!
I still work, help with my Grandkids when I can and don't have an opinion about how they are being raised.  I am not needy.  I am busy, but I cherish every minute I have with my kids and Grandkids.
I think young parents today have it rough. I worked p/t and my circle of friends all helped each other.  Today, 2 incomes are necessary in many cases and the world is very competitive.  They don't have the benefits or job security we had.  Many times they do the work of 2 people and are not compensated accordingly. A masters degree is the same as what a bachelors degree was when we were starting out.  Young parents have student loans.  In short, they are under a great deal of stress.
Baby boomers need to stop being boorish assholes (the only thing that is permanent in life is change...it's NOT all about you).  Young parents should NEVER be disrespectful to their parents.
Group hug to all young parents!  Been there, done that.....it's not easy![/quote]
