why is so much boomer humor about hating your wife/ kids?
In: Other
You guys are over thinking it.
It’s like fart jokes. Jokes as old as time. I’m just younger than boomers but my wife and I make the same jokes in public all the time.
Because deep down they resent getting married and having kids
It was expected of them. Didn’t really have a choice.
Im not a boomer btw.
Probably because they all got married to the first person they ever dated, because that’s what people did in their day and now they are miserable.
Boomers rushed to get married and have kids due to societal pressures. Those relationships were not healthy or fulfilling and majority resented their spouses
What Boomers conveniently fail to mention is how much the previous generation looked down on them.
Asking this about the generation that came of age during Free Love? To me the message or assumption behind all that humor is mostly “I could be getting all sorts of other tail but I’m stuck with my wife and kids”
