Millennials feel 'abandoned' by parents not available to help raise grandkids: 'Too busy'

There's a growing intergenerational divide between millennial parents and their own parents, now at retirement age, over expectations of helping to raise grandkids.

Whaaaaaaaaaaa! Grow up, buttercup!

 

[SMTA]

Faux News, coupled with the OP’s record for ignorant, un-researched partisan bullshit posts make this post another loser.
Maybe the OP should consider growing up and expand his knowledge base.

Boomers. Milked both their parents' and children's generation (and grandchildren now that I look at the debt clock) for all they were worth and continue their self-absorbed narcissistic assault on American culture.

What a garbage group.

Doesn't faux have a Biden something or a big city outrage to piss off its viewers with today? This one's kinda weak. Come on, faux. Last year's AI could have come up with something more infuriating than this.

Boomers? Seriously?
Boomers built the U.S. into the strongest most respected economic, charitable, militarily, educational, and scientific powerhouse the world has ever seen.

There could be a legitimate discussion to be had on this subject because there is a generational gap, where my mother stayed home while my father worked, while I worked and my wife stayed home but then went back to work when our kids went to school, to the generation now that has both parents working and kids in daycare or being looked after by grandparents or other.
But we can't have a legitimate discussion on this topic because the OP posted this for no other reason than to be able to say........

Whaaaaaaaaaaa! Grow up, buttercup!

So what was the point of posting this? For a discussion? What is there to discuss? Why the OP would make such an infantile comment? Suddenly the subject doesn't matter, only the idiocy of the presentation matters.

As for the Fox News link, I thought I would peek into it and found.........

"What millennials want is regular, stable, consistent support, in terms of emotional support. Childcare is super expensive in a way that it has never been, and it feels more necessary than ever because of workplace demands. So I think that is a lot of the frustration,"

There you go, even Fox didn't feel it necessary to turn this into a partisan haw haw hee hee story. Wonder why the OP felt the need to do so.

The world becomes much easier to comprehend when you accept the axiom that some people are just assholes.

It’s ridiculous to try to blame Boomers for the over 90% re-election rate for congress critters responsible for the continuous annual federal “budget” deficits.

Don't know what FOX is talking about.

We look after the grandkids 10 hours a day and love it.

As usual FOX is worthless..........

Why?

They have been the largest voting block in the country for pretty much my entire lifetime.

In this one case, I didn't see a "slant" by Fox News on this story. Maybe it was implied and I missed it. What I didn't miss is the slant the OP put on the story.

On the national credit card, but they weren’t alone in the race to have annual federal spending exceed the amount of annual federal tax revenue demanded. Once congress critters learned that they could maintain a re-election rate of over 90% by simply running up the national debt, they accelerated their deficit spending (borrow/print ‘funding’).

Speaking of the devil (not literally). Look who shows up. Anyway, let's have that discussion.

a lot of Boomers are spoiled and selfish though-------------

I'm on the Millennials side on this. At least I somewhat am.

Families should help one another. I'm not a grandparent yet but I would be honored in helping my grandchild. I certainly don't want some progressive government worker training them to be another Progressive zombie. Raising a child is the entire family's responsibility.

Of course milenials need to do their jobs as parents too. I'm not advocating using the grandparents as primary providers or built in babysitters so the parents can party every night of the week.

Everyone has a role in raising a healthy and well adjusted person who is prepared to face the challenges of adulthood.

Yeah, that must be it. There couldn't be any truth that millennials are generally whiners, along with their Gen Z who are actually worse. Don't feel bad, this is all by design planned long before any of us were born.

Speaking of things that are worthless.

So do you think that since you do that then surely it means everyone does. Or do you think the article was specifically talking about you.

Politicians, long before boomers were old enough for politics, figure this out. The Founders were quite aware of these politicians.

Speaking of the devil (not literally). Look who shows up. Anyway, let's have that discussion.

Los Angeles-based psychologist and millennial mother Leslie Dobson explained many of her millennial clients develop resentment toward their parents because they feel like their parents have "chosen their life over meeting their grandchildren and building these relationships."

This happens to be true.
I know in my parents generation they didn't have two, three cars in every driveway and a monster color tv in every room AND still had time to help out with their grandkids. So what is YOUR issue with this?

Even if they don't come to the same conclusions on parenting, millennials still want a trusted person to help them raise their family, he argued.

Well, if I ever have grandkids, I would hope they trusted me. SO AGAIN, what is wrong with this take on millennials? It's common sense.

Let's be honest here, the only thing you were interested in when you posted this thread is in making an asinine observation:

Whaaaaaaaaaaa! Grow up, buttercup!

The maturity level of that observation is staggering /s

 

[SNOWFLAKE]

I think most of us would agree with you, but some would suggest that your comment deserves this rebuttal......

Whaaaaaaaaaaa! Grow up, buttercup!

Fox's audience is old. Like...really really old. And few things are as entertaining to old, angry, bored people quite like bitching about young people.
