Grandparents! They signed up for this when they had kids, or at least it's common practice where I live.

So many of my coworkers tell me their parents said they refuse to babysit. I'm can't believe the refusal to care for one's family.

If their parents are retired they’re Boomers. Considering the levels of “got mine, fuck you” attitude and delusions about how they “did it on my own without help” this doesn’t surprise me at all. Not saying this is the entire generation, there are actually very caring Boomers out there. But in general, it’s a pretty pervasive sentiment of today’s retirees.

Yeah, if they don't work or live too far 🤷‍♂️
