Echo Boomers a Drain on Boomers
We all thought that by now our kids would be all grown up, be finished with college, done their experimenting with weed, or whatever they call it these days (think Woodstock without the sense of purpose), perhaps be married to some really nice person - hopefully of the same gender, and more importantly left the family home in a flurry of tears (emotional from mom, joy from dad) - for good. Well fat chance! That was our generation, we Boomers seem to have bred a generation that is economically and work challenged, and more to the point they know a good thing when they see it - living at home costs little to nothing depending on how well they play the heartstrings.
People call them Generation Y, Millenials, Echo Boomers, Generation Next or even the Net Generation, but really they’re the Boomerang generation. They just keeping coming back; even if you move and don’t give them a forwarding address, they somehow find you - it’s uncanny. There are television commercials that put it all down to serving them cheese or butter. If only it were that simple.
The Über Boomer book I am writing will be the savior of Boomers dealing with these directionally challenged children. It will provide guidance on how to gently wean these ‘should-be’ adults off the gravy train so that they leave, and leave soon, while everyone remains on good terms. Failing that, it will help you turf them out and not feel guilty about it!
