The most important generation.
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.
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
This shit is so dumb. "Anyone older than me is a Boomer!"
Boomers have been grandparents for some time. GenX as well in many cases.

So the share that has grandkids is the share that can afford them, right?
