Geez, RebeccaH, Baby Boomers? Really? The most marketed to, overexposed, self-referential, self-loving generation ever really needs to be written up regarding your blogging?? “Look at me, look at me!” Still after all these years. Your generation is huge. We get it. Lots of discretionary income. Yep, heard that one too. Can your generation just fade quietly off the demographic stage, please? Please??

Yes, I am bitter. My father is a classic Baby Boomer who fully expects me to fund his retirement via my Social Security contributions, my own retirement be damned. I get a little touchy when Baby Boomers inject themselves- again- into an arena that I finally thought might be my province: parenting small kids and blogging about it. The article ignores the Baby Boomers for a very good reason- it’s about parent blogging, not Baby Boomer blogging! Mostly about parents blogging with young kids, which most Baby Boomers don’t still have. Enough with needing to be mentioned, discussed, dissected and otherwise lavished with attention in every single forum!
