An online user recently turned to a forum to complain about his boomer father. He’s tired of his father always labeling him lazy despite doing well for himself.
They Both Have More Than One Job
A man and his wife work more than one job each to make ends meet.
“It’s so crazy. I do remodeling/handyman stuff, my wife cleans houses and she’s a school teacher, and we both have our real estate license.”
Nothing He Does Seems to Be Enough
Despite working these three jobs, his father still thinks his son is bone idle.
“We aren’t incredibly successful by any stretch, but it’s so obscured to me that my dad still pretty much thinks I’m lazy. He told me the other day ‘he never met someone who works so hard not to work’”.
He’s Not Interested in Doing Things the Way His Father Did
Younger generations see little to no appeal in the way boomers live their lives, but his father is so closed-minded about it.
“I work enough to pay bills and feed my kids. And then I work as little as possible to enjoy my life with them. These damn boomers cannot be satisfied unless you work your entire life away like they did. No thanks.”
His Father Isn’t Happy
The man has some choice words about his father and the entire boomer generation.
“By the way, yes, he’s absolutely loaded. And lonely and miserable too. Can’t wait till they are all dead.”
He Shared His Story
The disgruntled millennial shared his experiences with his boomer father online and was met with a cacophony of support.
“Hey, your boomer dad is an idiot. I’d blame it all on the lead poisoning, but that only explains so much. Keep doing you better than he does him.”
They Encouraged Him to Keep Doing His Thing
Younger generations, such as millennials and Zoomer (gen-z), aren’t about the boomer way of doing things.
“Also a handyman but for the corporate banking elite. I’m being exploited so much, stay independent as much as you can.”
Some Suggested He Fight Fire With Fire
Online forum users encouraged the OP not to take any of his father’s nonsense.
“You could always take the high road and just tell him that you’re going to put him in the best nursing home you can afford, according to his statements about your work ethic. Thoughts will bring doubt that festers into fear… plant them.”
Some Feel That Boomers Are Lacking in the Brain Cell Department
One user didn’t hold back on his thoughts on the boomer populace:
“Lead, asbestos, lack of proper child car seats, no airbags or crunch zones, lack of seatbelts, generational trauma, lack of workforce safety, recreational illegal drug use (cocaine, to name one). Fetal alcohol syndrome. The list goes on. With all this in mind, it’s an honest surprise any boomers are alive at all.”
Don’t Blame It on the Lead Poisoning
A user called out the ideology that all boomers are mercury-poisoned.
“I hate this lead thing people are using to insult boomers recently. Boomers are morally bankrupt, narcissistic, and greedy. These are personal failings, not the result of an accidental poisoning.”
Nevertheless, the Online Community is United
Regardless of what they think the cause is for boomers’ attitudes, one thing is certain: they don’t agree with it, and the OP isn’t lazy at all.

Yet, not every car model has managed to win their hearts. In fact, some have attracted quite the opposite reaction.
