Are older generation primarily responsible for unsustainable lifestyle, other probs?

I do know the person and she talks about her adult children enough. Other employees are like me..we have tolerated this.

We work in open office ..so conversations float far.

Am only referring more to (healthy) sustainability of family relationships in general. On a personal level, I don't see anything wrong if adult child returns to live with parent for a limited time --provided child contributes often/daily to household funds/chores, etc. This isn't a boomer vs. younger gneration comment. But more on family dynamics that is unique from family to family.

I'm with you. Ultimately, what other people do is none of my business, and I can certainly choose selective listening or not reacting if I have to be exposed to it. It sure takes up a lot less personal energy than wondering, even in a theoretical way, why they do what they do.

... I'm thinking the clue is in the thread title ...

We're all responsible. Pointing fingers at who's to blame, for the state of the environment, the fact that the jobless economy is hitting the young extra hard, etc., is pretty much pointless....
