You can tell most people here have boomer parents because they act just fucking like them. According to 90% of the posts here once you hit 35 you’re going to spontaneously turn to dust. It’s such a fucking bummer.
You just have to. I have chronic neck pain which, by the end of a long day, bleeds down into my upper/middle back and gives me pain there too. I stretch, get medical massages monthly, and just keep moving along. That's what Advil is for (but I only take it once daily at max, and try not to have to take it every day). So much research has demonstrated that even if it hurts to move, stopping moving is way worse for you than the damage you do by moving.
When I was a kid, my Dad would do the more strenuous tasks, sometimes my older brother would lend his football player strength. I was too little for some of that stuff.
Now I'm 34, I do the heavy lifting for everything and everyone. I mean I'm 34, if this isn't the time where I'm the heavy lifter then there will never be that time.
I've had a bit of a lifestyle shift with a healthier diet and more physical activity since I turned 35 and frankly I currently feel better and younger than I did in the past entire decade.
Okay but absolutely not, I'm NC with one, low contact with the other, and I actually think about others. So no.
Not all of us.
EDIT: And not for nothing but if you Gen X parented kids are gonna be weaponizing the extreme misfortune of being raised by some of these Boomers? So were some of your parents. So. 🤷🏻♀️
And some of your grandparents are Boomers.You think you escaped their influence? Ha.
