Oh my Goddness. This woman is the Pot calling the Kettle black. I have two Baby-Boomer sisters. One is a self absorbed tightwad who wonders why her kids won't call her, married to Mr. Paranoid who thinks everyone is out to get him (sidenote: Last week discovered that this pair was holding my Sears card in an old prayer book!!!). The other sister is a flaming liberal/recently out of the closet lesbian (after two marriages and four kids) with Munchausen Syndrome who believes that she judges herself when she dies so can do whatever she wants.
Being born on the cusp of the GenXers, I denounce them both and can't understand at all where they came from. My parents were normal.

Your life could be a made-for-tv movie starring shirley mclain and meryl streep as the sisters.

Ahhh, Net, you have nailed my parents pretty right on as well. Out of the 3 children who are boomers on my dad's side. Two have two divorces under their belts and one is in a relationship with a complete psycho. And the other is divorced as well and thinks it is fun to take her teenage daughters to Mexico to drink and party.
