[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]i have been confused for a while by this notion that boomer parents have of like - your kids, we have zero responsibility to help.

Like - ok you CAN take that pov, but then why did you have kids if you only wanted to help them for 18 years? [/quote]

How old were your parents when you had kids?[/quote]

[b]It’s the Gen X or whatever who have been having babies much later than other generations that will have it tough. [/b] If you have a baby at 40 years old and then your child has a baby at 35 years old the grandmother would be 75 already.  [/quote]

Different poster here.
I am Gen X (born in 75) and had my first kid at 24.   My mom was 51 when my baby (her first grandchild) was born.[/quote]

Nope. I was 27 with my oldest. Same with nearly everyone one I know from college.[/quote]

Gen X and me and all my friends were in our 30s. But we had comparatively young parents who were 60ish and able to help even if we had kids later. We'll see how old our kids are but if they were like us we'll be in our late 70s as first time grandparents.[/quote]
