In general....

Boomers were not latch key kids.

That was Gen-X.

Gen-X was not raised by Boomers. They were raised by Depression and War Babies.

Boomers raised the Millennials.

Gen-X raised Gen-Z.

There is some cross over of course but most people seem to think everyone born before 1990 was a Boomer.

They were not.

Boomers are by definition the children of WWII fighters

The tail end is debatably 1959. Period.

There are lap-overs, to be sure, since WAR BABIES often get mistakenly clumped in with SILENTS, and early Boomers ( those born in 1947-49 ) absolutely DID raise Gen Xers!

And Gen X starts in 1967, so some War Babies raised late Boomers.
