21 Signs That You May Be A Baby Boom Bummer
By Valerie Shaw, M.PR

You may be a Boom Bummer if you...
1 Spend more quality time in your car than with your kids or grandkids.
2 Believe that there is only one side to any argument.
3 Tip for service according to 1973 standards, unless you’re with someone you’re trying to impress.
4 Think that "buy black" means clothing.
5 Have been mentored by many but mentor nobody.
6 Would rather take three fat frat brothers to the Lakers game at Staples Center than invite three skinny kids from foster homes in South Central.
7 Don’t trust anyone under 35 to do a job competently.
8 Don’t credit anyone over 75 with having any sense.
9 Spend 500 times more money on vacations abroad than charities at home.
10 Use more make up and hair care products than the
Miss America pageant.
11 Would rather eat vomit than reveal your true age.
12 Would rather be a general in a losing army of one than a soldier in a winning army of a thousand.
13 Try out for the part of the youthful Ruth in the church play, instead of the part of Naomi, Rachel’s loving older mother-in-law.
14 Won’t invest in anything you don’t have complete control of.
15 Keep a weekend supply of Viagra in your glove compartment.
16 Believe in living large, not in living trusts.
17 Honor your creditors more than you honor the loans you got from your parents.
18 Dream (in the present) about how things might have been (in the past).
19 Are still trying to compete with or trying to impress the Washingtons.
20 Are waiting for daddy to die before you can realize your dreams.
21 Declare that you are you children’s sibling, not their parent.
If any of these criticisms strikes a nerve, get help immediately.
Get involved in something other than yourself.
Give, for a change; it will change your life!
