This is so weird to me. My parents are boomers and all my friends parents are boomers, and for the most part, we were all loved, supported and well taken care of.

My boomer mother flat out told me she wished she never had children

My mom was silent generation born in ‘41. Exactly the same. Kids were a nuisance.

I went no contact with my boomer mom when my son was about 6. She could not stop berating me about literally every transgression I had made since I was a little child. When I became a mom it blew my mind to even fathom doing that to my son. Ever.

They didn’t want children. It felt obligatory. They had “better” things to do which was anything

I was a boomer and I adore my son, don’t put all the boomers in one group, they’re not all bad. In fact most of them aren’t.

Y’all ever think that half these people didn’t want kids, but society was expecting them to produce .. and now people can choose not to have kids when they don’t want to and it’s ok. Not that it makes it ok, but I believe that is why. Also these are the same grandparents that people complain they don’t take the kids.. it makes no sense to me. 😳

my bio mom was on the tail end of the boomer generation. she hated me, hated that I was born. she tried to mold me to be like her and like what she liked. it didn't work. I was told constantly that I ruined her life by being born. like I had a choice to be here

My boomer mom was horrible! Narcissistic, neglectful and abusive. She always told me, "my life was hard and why should yours be any better." My brother and I are no contact for our own sanity

Sorry you had that experience. I am a very "late boomer" and I adore my children and grandchildren.

I wish I had had me as a mom and I’m a boomer. My kids would agree.

big, big difference between old boomers (1947) and those born in the early 60's. We raised our children with respect and love.

I think labels are ridiculous. All of our parents messed us up. There is no rule book on parenting. So we all are responsible for ourselves as we become adults. There is only so much we can blame on our parents. GenX here. We are feral but we own that shit.

My silent gen parents did what they knew. We didn't have "therapists" to let us know how awful our parents were. You seem to forget that they are the result of their upbringing.

It's not just the parents. So many boomer teachers absolutely hated kids. I remember being a little kid and wondering why everyone had kids if they just hated them.

My childhood was quite chaotic but in my 20’s, I arrived at the conclusion that they did the best they could with what they know at that time and I truly believe if they knew better then, they would have done better. The propaganda machine has a lot to do with the population’s behaviors and many fall victim to that even now. I extended grace and understanding to my late parents but never condoned their wrongs. Being a parent of now adult children, it’s difficult. I made many mistakes but I owned each of them and can tell to my kids openly about it and my struggles as a wife and a mom. That’s a big difference because I sought my kid’s forgiveness when I healed and began knowing better. I recognized my wrongs before they ever bright them up. My relationship with my kids is more important to me than my pride or ego.
