2) Actually apologize when they are wrong
3) Don’t offer unsolicited advice and obnoxious comments
4) Are critical thinkers who don’t guzzle Fox News and spit out hate

So I’m fairly confident that we’ll all get along as adults. I won’t guilt them about calling or visiting and act like adult children must always be the one to initiate calls. I won’t expect them to spend every hard-earned vacation day and dollar on me. Generally speaking, I won’t be a massive pain in the arse who expects everyone to kowtow and kiss the ring. So I’m fine with my future. Sounds like you were an awful parent if your kids want nothing to do with you. Look at yourself. Be honest for once, if you can.

I mean, talk about delusional! Your kids are not grown yet. You think being a parent that is not an alcoholic is something to be proud of? Are we comparing the complete dysfunction and you are not a completely drunk, abusive parent?
Is this like one of those, "My parents beat me ad abused me every single day, and I do not do that to you daily, so I am a great parent?"
You are "fairly confident" that you will get along? This is like Obi-Wan saying; I am pretty confident that Anakin will be the most noble of all Jedis in the galaxy and will always work for good. OOOOPPPSSS!
Don't talk about things you don't know. Don't tell others with adult kids what you think your kids will think. No doubt they already think you are a narc(an abbreviated term no longer used for drug addicts but for those suffering the epidemic of narcissism, which is you.)
What a completely BS post lacking any introspection and nothing but petting yourself on your own shoulder BCS, you do not drink!
Plenty of Fox new watchers are great parents, some are horrible, and some are mediocre parents. Plenty of CNN watchers are great parents and horrible parents. Your post is full of hate for people you think are not of your exact thinking. How can such a hateful person not engage in hate speech in front of her kids? Are you sure you never say, "Those horrible Trumpers who have no ounce of brain and are all racist pi*s and inhuman should be locked up?"
It sounds like you are a real critical thinker!
Did you ever pause to explore why racism and nationalism are on the rise in America and in the world? Do you explain to your kids how capitalism works and why people turn to extremism in poverty? Do you ever have them watch and tell them that people work two jobs and live in their cars? You are so full of "empathy" (by that, I mean you have none). I am sure your kids have never felt an ounce of understanding from you, as you are so quick to judge and bring people down, as you just did in your post.

Hey boomer, if you are THIS triggered by PP, you need to look into the mirror to see why you're projecting such hate and venom onto them. You are probably also due for a mental health evaluation because this was unhinged.

Nothing unhinged here. PP wrote it very effectively.
Just turning everything around and accusing them of the same thing, without any backup, is a Kafka trap. And immature.

I do think boomers are very self absorbed, think too highly of themselves and expect everyone to cater to them. I don’t know why but they seem to have this anxiety triggering zero sum mindset. They can’t stand it and if someone else is getting something. I watch my MIL and her siblings desperately compete with each other driving their adult kids nuts. They rant about how dare millennials complain about the cost of housing and college, they rant about black people getting too many advantages or poor people stealing their money through social programs. It’s exhausting. They have so much anger and anxiety.

As Gen X we tend to ignore it and move in. As a generation, we seem more into working and getting our kids into college. We don’t have energy for much else. We probably enable the boomers by not calling them out. We’re not angry like boomers or millennials.

Millennials seem far more interested in living life and righting wrongs. They’ll antagonize the boomers calling them out. Millennials seem angry too. They’re angry that they can’t afford a house, they’re angry about student debt, they don’t want to climb the corporate ladder but they don’t want to live on the bottom.

Knocking on the door of elder abuse? What?

The study suggests that baby boomers, or "individuals who were born earlier in the [20th] century," had higher levels of hypersensitivity, or being full of themselves, and higher levels of willfulness, or the tendency to impose their opinion on others.
People with a narcissistic style or diagnosable narcissistic personality disorder stubbornly cling to their psychological defenses and rarely cease promoting their own image. Over time, you may become inured to how extreme and costly their actions are.
