[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Boomers are too busy and galavanting around on vacations to help their kids and grand kids, sad. Another example of boomer selfishness on top of the wealth taking and focusing younger generations to find their lifestyles, sad.

I just need to point out, while it’s a very documented historical phenomena for older generations to complain about younger generations “[i]kids these days![/i]”

I honestly don’t think there’s another example of cross generation hate against boomers. Whether you’re Gen X, Millenials, Gen Z and even some BOOMERS THEMSELVES Really seems like everyone complaining about boomers.

So rather than roll your eyes, maybe other boomers can ask “What can I do to help fix things before I die in at most another decade or two  :? “[/quote]I'm also tired of older people complaining about "kids these days"!  As I said above, one shouldn't generalize about people, whether they are young or old.

Do folks on this website think - well, there's so much racism against African-Americans, what can they do to help fix things?  No, that doesn't sound problematic at all!  (note - this is sarcasm)  Really stunning how people who would never generalize about others based on race, gender, sexual orientation etc have no problems with ageism - whether it's used against young or old.

And what can *I* do to help fix things? I don't know - I'm too busy helping my grown kids with their dogs and other chores and once they have children I'll be helping take care of them.  But go on, keep calling old people selfish.  It looks so good on you.[/quote]
