[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No longer the appropriate time of life to be hosting family events, not on a regular basis. Pass the baton, and the control, to the next generation. They should be living in the bigger houses. If they have a family, they need the bigger homes.[/quote]

I have no idea why anyone thinks that millennials are entitled. Crazy.

My friend, if you want to be the one to host, buy the big house and offer to host. What, you can’t afford it? Then perhaps you should be grateful that mommy and daddy are offering to do the hosting.

I know you think you “should” have the bigger house because you “need” it, but you get what you work for in this life, sunshine. Whining about how you deserve more ain’t gonna get you nowhere. [/quote]

It's not that Millennials are entitled. It's that Boomers had it a lot easier and had a lot more than Gen X, Millennials, or Gen Z at every life milestone. And the worst part? Boomers can't even be a little bit humble about it or pay it forward - e.g., "why do I have to pay full freight property taxes? I don't even use the schools anymore!"

So yeah, you get to host the f#cking dinner. You have the assets and the space, while your grown kids pay $5-6K per month for childcare. And if you have opinions about whether Isabelle should attend K-12 private school, please tell us where to find $35K per year.[/quote]

Sorry you had boomer parents who fit your description and made you feel less than. I don't know anyone like that. [/quote]

I’m GenX and have plenty of friends and family who are technically Boomers. I have never known any Boomers like this either and frankly, I have never met one of these Boomers who have had it as easy as claimed or are as wealthy as people keep stating. All the Boomers I know came from the school of hard knocks and had to work hard for everything they have and sacrificed along the way. None had these beautiful large new homes when raising their families and I don’t begrudge them now if they can afford one as empty nesters. [/quote]
