@OlderSometimesWiser It makes me happy to see people commenting that their boomer parents weren't like mine. Growing up, my type of parents were prolific around me.

@FoxyGoddess I’m really sorry you experienced that. My parents were far from perfect, just for different reasons. Probably starting with the fact that they were practically babies themselves when they had me. We were kinda growing up and finding our way together, so plenty of trial and error.

@bijouxbroussard I'm a boomer and that definitely was NOT the way it was in my house.

@bijouxbroussard My father was a Boomer and having been raised by a Silent Generation parent, he followed suit. The above was exactly how I was raised. A lot of my friends growing up had boomer parents who did the same.

@bowman81 Nor was it that way in mine.
