> baby boomers, neglecting the role of grandparent ...

Two 30ish mums I know act really entitled about the Boomer (61 to 79 years old) grandparents not giving enough support. The mums are both working in full-time jobs, so I understand why they need more help. One is a solo mum (due to bad choice for a father, wasn't a surprise).

Both mums get massive support from the grandparents (some working fulltime themselves), but they complain they just don't get enough support.

The mums compare with the support they received as children from their own grandparents, but often their grandmother was a "housewife" and their grandparents were relatively younger.
