childfree
even if I had kids my dad would be excluded from grandparenting due to the trump worship. don't need that kind of influence on the adult family members let alone kids.
The most important generation.
Wouldn't this be prime age for boomers to be great grandparents? Unless they mean paying for their grandkids college...
Boomers are 1946-1964. Definitely the older in the generation are in the great grandparent years, especially if they and their kids had kids young, but the younger boomers, especially if they and their kids had their first kids later, will be grandparents.
I wouldn't exactly call that prime time for them to be grandparents, then...
if they had kids at 30 their kids could have kids at 30.
"If" is doing a lot of heavy lifting.
And that's still just for the youngest of that generation, not the whole of it... I don't know about you, but I'd hardly call a minority of a minority "prime".
Boomers should have thought of the shareholders.
That is, the kids they fucked over with their bullshit ideas and absolute misunderstanding of the world they created.
I'd love to be able to speak with my parents again, but (and I never thought I would ever say this, if you had asked me 10 years ago) I need to see some heads popping out of asses.
For some reason I'm not surprised about Facebook being explicitly boomer-centric
Not the best thesis, but people should have kids and more of them. That’s not open for debate.
No one needs to have kids ever, the world will be fine. That's not open for debate. Also, I deserve all the money, chocolate, and sex in the world, that's not open for debate. I like this game!
Why?
Go troll harder somewhere else. This is a pretty lame attempt to distract the thread.
people should have kids and more of them
Seems like a personal choice. I can name plenty of people who are trying to have kids and can't. And more than a few who didn't try to have kids but got them anyway. I also see a lot of kids showing up in foster programs, homeless shelters, and prisons.
Perhaps the problem isn't that we don't have enough kids. Perhaps we're just doing a shit job of caring for the kids who already exist.
So the share that has grandkids is the share that can afford them, right?
