[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am a late boomer (58 - youngest kid is 17). I always felt this way about my mom who was a member of the greatest generation. She was never available to help except on her own terms (e.g., she once wanted me to reschedule surgery to excise possible cancer to fit her schedule better). On the other hand, she expected to be waited on hand and foot when she had surgery. I hve always thought she was selfish, but always attributed it to her personality not to her whole generation. [/quote] My greatest generation mother made it clear she would not be taking care of grandchildren. She raised her 'many' kids and expected a large number of grandkids and didn't have the energy or ability to balance to be fair. None of us kids ever had a problem with that. She was loving toward, and loved by, her children and grandchildren until the day she died.[/quote]
