Boomers Having Babies
It's come to that time, and in some cases, past that time, for Boomers to have babies, but here we go.
The male section of Boomers who have left their marraiges are now out and about and starting second, third or more families. Ok, so it makes the men feel younger, but my question in all of this is what about the children?
These kids are going to grow up with at least one parent that is, in fact, what would be their grand parents age. Also, in my humble opinion, what needs to be considered here is that these children will possibly not have a father for their graduation, wedding and be around when they have children.
Nature takes care of female Boomers having babies, though even that can be played with, but male Boomers going out and reproducing when they should be hugging their grand-kids instead makes me wonder. Who really cares about who?
So what is your opinion?
Changes For Baby Boomers
As Baby Boomers it is difficult in this day and age with children still living at home, taking care of parents and trying to keep a marriage together or trying to start a new life after the marriage is over. Change has always been part of the Boomer life, and will continue. Believe it or not, Boomers will make huge changes in the coming 10-20 years. Ahhh...Happy Birthday Baby!!
Today – this day – thousands and thousands of the seventy-six million baby boomers in America are marking their 50th birthday: a milestone to celebrate as significant as or more so than the traditional 40th. Truly,50 is the new 40, the beginning of mid-life, and with every new discovery in a multitude of fields ranging from biogenetic engineering to pharmaceuticals and robotics, that age marker will be pushed ever upward. In the not too distant future it may become possible for many in the developed world to reach, in a healthy, active state, the “natural” age cap of 120 years. That’s a lot of partying to come.
But steady on! Before we all boogie on down, it might be a good idea to take note of some other facts and figures. In 2006, the first-born of the baby boom generation will be celebrating their 60th birthday, and five years away, their 65th. It is estimated that by 2030, when most boomers will have long crossed over the traditional retirement threshold of 65 years of age (and the remaining few fast bearing down on it), they will make up 20% or more of the entire US population (as opposed to their current hold of 13%). Baring bird flu’ and other mutant pandemics, there will, by 2030, be approximately 70 million people over 65 years, and the 85+ age group will have become the fastest growing section. And they won’t all be wearing rose-tinted granny-glasses.
