May be true for some of the population, but . . .January 14, 2016
I certainly hope they can help! But I have my doubts, because the Boomers I know were the ones who directly contributed to the development of the Millenials. Many Boomers have an attitude of, "I've paid my dues; now I get to play." Many are just as, or even more, self-indulgent than Millenials, maybe because they felt denied things when they were kids, or they're trying to reclaim their childhood now. They have little patience for their grandchildren, and they want only to travel and spend their time and money on entertainment.
I desperately wished my kids had in their lives the kind of Boomers you portray, but I have yet to meet one like that. However, I'm committing myself to try to be the ideal in 25 years.
