My dear Marie, Boomers with children, by and large, have the same attitude as you.

I won't speak for Boomers without children.

Thank you.

I *know* that there are many, MANY conservative Boomers out there. (Many of them are right here.) My mom is one of them. We don't want you to *die* or live in poverty for the last years of your lives. I think many of my generation are in a panic. We can't see how we can take care of our parents, take care of our children and ensure our own futures all in one shot. Yet, that's what we'll have to do and we don't see a lot of Boomers really bothered by this situation or even a little concerned for us.

And on a positive note, Boomers do tend to be very good grandparents. I don't know of a Boomer that doesn't help out with their grandbabies.

You just do it. You do it like I'm doing it. You do it like my parents did it and theirs before. You just DO WHAT YOU HAVE TO DO without whining. Somehow, it all works out.

I'm looking forward to a nice tip when you visit me at Luby's in 15 years!!!

Just kidding, of course! Have a great day! ;^D

Gee, I'm 46 and I am dealing with everything you just said. Funny thing is, I haven't been blaming anybody for it. I spend too much time taking care of my kids. And sitting here in my pajamas, of course.
