[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My boomer parents are in their mid 70s and they are great! My four kids love them especially when they get to do sleepovers. They already have a deposit down on a graduated care retirement place nearby so they won’t be a burden on us. [/quote]

Same, only they are silent generation.  That generation knew how to take care of themselves.  If I am not going out one day I’m saying in my pajamas. They wouldn’t think of doing that.  They are properly dressed for the day and their bed is made.  My in-laws planned when he retired early, they sold their house for a condo (although three level huge). Then the moved to an apartment in assisted living.  My mil eventually ended up in memory care after her husband died and died shortly after.  I had always wished I could do something really important for them because they were such good people and always helped us financially while leaving an 8 figure inheritance.

I think they were the last generation who took responsibility for themselves.  The posters complaining here need to remember that your children are watching you and will repeat the pattern and treat you the same way you treated your parents.  Let your pettiness go [/quote]
