my GRANDPARENTS are boomers

coincidentally, my grandparents are dysfunctional as fuck

and my parents are boomers; your point?

specifically my mother's parents

not nearly as much as they USED to be

thankfully

but my maternal grandmother is really annoying tbh

my primary influence for most of my morals, my values were my grandparents though

won't stop preaching about the bible

i know all 4 of my grandparents as an adult

As do I.

yes, but MY grandparents were NOT boomers

That would be nice actually

they were GREATEST GENERTION

so your parents are like....50 years older than you?

I'm surprised your mother birthed you

my grandmother was born in 1914

must have been after menopause

she was in her 70s when i was a kid

lived to 94

debated politics with me until 92

conservative

your point?

my POINT is that my values, my ideas and my morals aren't a function of the bOOMERS

it is a function of the same generation that fought and won WWII

your grandparents?

boomers

there is a difference

my grandpa was a ww2 vet

😮

more than that

My great grandfather was killed in WW2

that they fought in the war is less relevant that the adversity that they had to deal with

and the wisdom they accumulated

My great uncle has some pretty crazy stories

i probably learned most of my impressions of what men and women should strive to be from them

My great-grandpa drove one of the Amphibious landing craft on D-Day <:pot_of_kek:544849795433496586>

i was lucky; my grandmother kept all my dad's toys from the 50s in perfect condition

her house was like a time-capsule from the 50s era

did you enjoy sucking on that lead paint?
