If I see one more article on how millennials are ruining the economy or housing market by not buying enough homes or selling enough homes I'm going to scream. We were saving for 3 years before Covid and had to use a solid chunk to take care of ourselves and our families during quarantine. Now that we're ready to save again inflation and COL are at an all-time high and we're headed into a recession. And somehow this is my fault for what...not being a boomer? Bffr.

Rant: Told my mom yesterday not to play with the baby at the diaper changing table. The baby is crying, mom is usually in the way loudly trying to pacify the baby while me or hubby are trying to change the diaper. She took this to mean we weren't appreciative of her help.. Blah.. Blah.. She didn't talk to me all evening yesterday and is still not talking to my husband. Obviously hubby is super irritated and the whole home atmosphere is ruined. Rant over...

Do any of you feel like you have “outgrown” your parents? My mom calls me everyday and I don’t have much I can share with her anymore. Generally she has an issue with most of my life choices, so I stopped telling her things. I don’t even feel like talking everyday, I would be happy doing it once or twice a week. But I know she likes it so I still talk everyday. Just looking for a sounding board to see if I’m totally in the wrong
