Reading elsewhere, baby boomers are accused of being the most selfish generation. Re: childcare, financial help, for their children.
Well as a baby boomer, I can tell you our parents were not interested in our children and going back another generation my mother and fathers parents were not interested in helping out.
I think you have to go back to the times when you were born, married, bore children and died in the same village. In those times you had the support of mixed generations and an extended family. Today we and our offspring are flung around the country and globe.
