Huh I always thought guilt was passed down by generations, not passed up.

Ahh ... generational stereotyping. It’s a sure sign of a weak mind.

This is complete BS. I know MANY boomers who are raisinfg their grandkids.

All these millenials know what to do is whine and blame others.

No idea if there is any truth to this or not, what I do know is that we have become a society of victims, whiners, and sad sacks. Oh boo-hoo, this is tough. I’m so offended. I’m oppressed.

Good grief. What a bunch of sorry first-world panzies.

The communists set out to destroy the family structure in the US, and succeeded.

For real.

Millennials are themselves the most babyish generation American has seen—until now that Gen Z is coming along.

When raising our son, we kept my retired WWII parents in a nearby house so they could participate in our lives. They both passed before he became a teenager, and before our adopted daughter became part of the home. The son chose to move many different places after leaving home, now in Canada (I’m in FL), unmarried, and childless. The daughter is living with me (wife passed three years ago), but it will be at least two years before she provides the first grandchild; I hope I live long enough to see, and well enough to enjoy the child(ren).

It seems the Boomers can do no right.

If they are still working they are hogging the jerbz. If they retire they are worthless takers. If they are around they are "toxic" parents who need to get their own lives. If they move away....

Yes, they can do no right.

The kids want their parents to raise a second family while the kids pursue their careers or deal with divorce. Sorry, but it doesn’t work that way.

Oh, good grief.

I’m a Navy brat. We were raised all over the world without our grandparents’ support. Our grandparents were the cool people we visited or who visited us from afar on occasion and it was always enjoyable. They were not put to work. They’d done their job.

Grow up, ‘lennials.

The problem is not millennials. The problem is wacko millennial women.

They believe all that crap they have been fed

Oh those horrible Boomers. You know. The ones who fought in Vietnam. The ones who said FU to the establishment and elected Trump. What has X, millennials or Z ever done?

Many millennial parents say they can't get the support they need from their parents.

Honestly, this disturbing cockeyed attitude is actually quite prevalent.

in the case of boomers being Harsh on the kids.....i know my mom gave terrible advice on how to take care of kids.
Would’nt want to hug them/spoil them too much. Let them cry it out, stuff that makes me cringe to think i took that advice.
I hope my kids don’t remember and my only excuse was “I did n’t know any better” Now I do.
I never lived close enough to my family to have them watch my kids and i am grateful for that.

My great-grandparents were born in the 1890’s. In their early 20’s they had kids during WW1. Those kids, my grandparents, had to get the Depression and WW2 out of the way before they had kids in their late 30’s (the 1950’s). My parents, boomers, had to get a lot of fun and games out of their systems before they got around to producing me in their 40’s (the 1990’s). At the rate we’re going I won’t have kids until I’m 50-something.

I’ll have to send this to a couple of my kids. Not the one who has a couple of kids and is buried in work and family, of course.

This is the second boomer bashing article that you have posted in several days. You are not the first to do this, just the latest.

My husband and I were without family around at all. In order to pursue a better life for ourselves, that’s the choice we made. We may have missed out on the grandparents being nearby, but we managed. We were very involved at our church, school, and the community. Our church friends became our family. We got through it ok. Though it wasn’t easy, I’m not one to complain about something we decided to do.

As grandparents now, we don’t have the luxury of enough money to travel for fun and also travel to see our children and grandchildren, who are scattered across the country. Fortunately, we have the advantage of technological advances like FaceTime to visit with the kids.
