73 is the cutoff for boomers

Never mind, my mom is 75 and Boomed it up today. Over the course of a few hours, Gave the kids two chocolate milks, cookies cocktail weineres with three rich sauces, and bragged that the microwaved green beans she gave them balanced it out. Then when I protested she said I was lucky because withe most babysitters I would have no input. Literally said I was lucky because she was willing to do slightly more than the bare minimum.

This was part of an afternoon filled with entitled rants. I will post more later, but I'm busy because I had to pull over so my kid could make massive diarrhea in the woods

The boomers were raised by the Greatest Generation. Doesn't seem like they were so great after all. :smug:

The Greatest Generation all had untreated PTSD so you have to cut them some slack.

I was at the supermarket today and saw some old boomer woman explaining to a shop attendant everything that was wrong with the store as if the guy had any influence over the store policies or would ever meet the people who did. Boomers have no idea how any organisation larger then a local cafe works.

Grandmas like to spoil their grandchildren, that isn't a boomer thing. My grandma used to let us eat PB&J sandwiches and twizzlers until we spewed Red #40 dyed vomit all over the place.

You make a good point. It's that she keeps bragging about how helpful she is by providing childcare, and keeps trying to insist I let her keep them all day. When, in fact, I don't need childcare I just think my kids need a grandparent since their grandfather just died... and it would ease my load except when I do get an hour of childcare followed by me spending 2 hours wiping kids butts, cleaning clothes, and dealing with bizarre sugar-induced meltdowns.

Boomers helping always have to make it so you spend an equal amount of time fixing the help. It’s like action and reaction; it’s a law of nature.

gently caress, my mom was really hard today. I wanted to just storm out with the kids, but that would border on using the kids as a weapon. So I just told her how I felt and suggested we all play a game. It went great... then afterward my mom asked me why my effort at work these next six weeks would "determine when my wife retires between 50 and 65 years old" (my words). I explained, she then responded with "we both know your wife without something to do would really not work out well."

Thanks for the advice, woman who has been divorced for 40 years. You're right, working hard for a few weeks so my wife doesn't have to work so hard all the time for 10+ fewer years would be a mistake that would be completely irreversible.

This is the same woman who, when I announced a big book deal, only replied, "what's to stop the publisher from taking the book you write and putting someone else's name on it." My wife had a whole bit about that which goes, "in order to do the mental gymnastics to hate on your big success, she had to pretend that 1,000+ years of contract law does not exist. drat your parents hate that you have had a more successful career plan than their `shake the manager's hand and keep your head down putting in a 9-5' strategy."

:shrek: <-- for you. My Mom's a similar age and spoils her grandson. It's all good, though - she buys him stuff I can't afford and I make sure he appreciates everything she does for him/gives him. Perhaps it's payback for my being such an rear end in a top hat teenager/young adult or something.

To contribute, here's a handy site for boomers working on their next marriage. After two or three, I guess the ceremonies come as naturally as buying a (second or third) house. gently caress the boomers.

Yeah, I am lucky overall, she isnt the worst and can def provide finances that will make their future less rocky.

It's just like gently caress, my dad died three weeks ago and I'm still scrambling for good childcare options, maybe concede a little.
