re: Boomer oddities.

They lived the majority of their lives listening to propaganda put out by by the govt that said things like red meat and eggs are bad for you and special k cereal is healthy

It's not.

If you ever worked in an office with boomers and somehow became the default IT guy because you knew the basics of working a computer and phone.

Never forget the days when boomers didn't understand how to save a pdf off their email.

So what they would to is print a 200 page document then use the same copier printer to scan the entire document back in so it would get sent to their email.

Then they'd all rage when the email server bogged down trying to send a gigantic 7Gb document that they scanned in.

Had one that somehow thought Google Maps satellite view was a live feed. They'd go on there and look at google maps to see if someone's car was in the parking lot.

[looks on google maps] "Oh no they left for the day, I don't see their car out there"

My favorite is the “ If you lift weights and stop, it will turn to fat”

This board is a boomer love fest lately. Any anti boomer post gets obliterated in downvotes. Thanks for doing the Lord’s work

Gonna need pics of Starla here Rex to ascertain how I feel about this statement.

You must be a miserable person to be this bothered and judgmental over that.


I live my life and let my in-laws live their lives.

And you are wrong on one account. Yogurt is soothing for your stomach. and contains probiotics.

You whiners, complain all the time that the boomers have all the money, and you guys are never going to be able to get anywhere in life.Well, you ever thought maybe they have all the money because they go to the shitty chain restaurants, and you and your wife and kids waste a shite ton of money ordering out 100.00 dollar a plate "real food" dinners and 10.00 dollar coffees for breakfast with your 20.00 acai bowl?
My parents are in their mid eighties, and i'm just glad they're eating, because ...number one they're still here.and number two, they're getting so skinny they worry me.
I know more people your age with cancer then our age with cancer... Find something else to worry about.

There are some oddities in this situation, but they may not be the ones you think.

Is this not something they learned? My in laws thinks my wife works out to lose weight.
She's a healthy weight and lifts to maintain body/muscle and it's good for her mental health.

Did either of you attempt to explain this to them?

Another example, we're convinced they don't understand that liquids have calories. Stuff like that just blows our mind.

Did either of you attempted to have a conversation with them to find out what they know about liquids and calories?

Her mother will have an upset stomach and wants to eat yogurt and drink orange juice for breakfast and we're sitting there saying "those items aren't good to have with an upset stomach."

---

Outside of the orange juice it depends on exact reasoning behind upset stomach. If it’s due to not eating and being acidy from that I have never had a problem eating yogurt especially the high protein versions. If its like nausea or diarrhea from some stomach bug and/or being lactose intolerant or some other issue with milk sugars or milk proteins while having those stomach issues than they should avoid it until symptoms stop.

It can also depend on the strains of probiotics as some can help aid digestion and lower inflammation in intestine. One strain is said to help with diarrhea, but I don’t know accuracy of that or if your mother-in-law is picking yogurt for specific probiotics.

Have either of you bothered to check into this?

Again the drinking of orange juice with any kind of stomach issue I don’t get.

They love shitty chain restaurants when they do dine out. Of all the places in the world out there that are excellent but they'll go to a Red Lobster or places like that.

---

If they love it, are paying for it with their money, and can afford it why worry about something you seem to admit they love?

Are they blowing thru your expected inheritance???

I’m tired of all the boomer hate. All of you that blame them can frick off. Lazy entitled assholes.

Boomers are the most worthless spoiled generation this world has ever seen.


They aren't worth a bucket of warm spit.
