Baby Boomers and the Art of Parenting Adult Kids



"That’s what Linda Stroh found when she and a fellow author surveyed nearly 1,000 baby boomers for their book, “Getting Real about Getting Older.”

“My kids use language like ‘my family’ and ‘our family’ and they don’t mean us,” one man commented. “I’m at the mercy of their whims. We see them when they want, not when we want,” said another. “I miss my kids. I want to be around them more,” one woman said."


When the Boomer parent isn't on-screen, all the other characters should be saying, "Where's Boomer parent?"

I think he said it was for a book or something about child exploitation. It must be a really long book because nearly twenty years later it's still not out.

Except they're not really keeping Gibson in business... Every 6 months there's another set of bonds coming due that the company can't afford to pay. They spent the past decade-plus selling poorly constructed guitars at the highest mark-up in the business - to the point where people in the know are now recommending Epiphones over Gibsons. (For non-guitar nerds, Epiphone is the "budget" brand subsidiary of Gibson.)

When our neighbors heard us talking to the waiters in Spanish at a Mexican restaurant they were beyond shocked & were visibly annoyed. I was waiting for the inevitable, "speak English/America" rant, but some local cops showed to pick up their orders while also speaking to the staff in Spanish.

Yeah, we don't socialize with them anymore.

My dad (a fat old dude) bought one and 6 months later sold it because he has a bad back and can't enjoy riding it.

My co-worker just turned 60 & is trading his in for a 3 wheeler. Worried about not being strong enough but still wanting to ride. Guy is set to retire with 2 pensions, SS, unmarried, no dependents & no debt to speak of. Got all his poo poo squared away on point.

Keep telling him to take his act after retirement to either Columbia or Thailand & get 20 yo's to suck his dick at night & cook him breakfast in the mornings. That's how you live the dream.

Just knowing Spanish is plenty good.

The Spanish speaking countries in Central America, the Caribbean etc have some minor, minor differences/words for certain things & local slang/regional accents mixed in but we can all speak & understand each other quite well. Some speak more quickly/slowly but we all talk a ton of poo poo to each other during things like the World Cup/Baseball International.

But it's only the Spaniards that loose their poo poo when everyone else refer to us all collectively as "Spanish". We just shrug/laugh--good times.
