Does anybody here deal with boomer parents that retired and just aren't doing anything with all the free time? And then complain they are bored?
Maybe it's a reflection of who they are as people, if they ever had any hobbies or saved any money properly. All my dad does now is watch Fox news morning, afternoon and evening, I complained to him about this and even though I tried bringing this up as him watching too much TV he thought I was antagonizing his political views and then said he gets to "enjoy retirement" however he wants. I know he wishes he had more money to travel, he manages to do it a little bit since he went to Italy not long ago but the rest of the year it's all just him sitting in front of the news channel. At least he gets social security checks to save for more trips but he could pick up a hobby...
Mom does this with her phone, she just watches tiktok and youtube conspirancy videos. It's worth mentioning they don't live together and don't have friends.
It's interesting how they don't ask me for kids, in fact they said they won't help with any if I have them which is bad news for me since they are in my set of plans.
I don't expect anything from them anymore, surprisingly my husband's family is good with kids and his parents help his sister with her children but:

I've heard so many stories of Boomers behaving this way, as if they had anything good planned for retirement that's more important than caring for the future of their family. At least they get to retire.
