And for Millennial parents with Boomer grandparents, some have a bone to pick.<\/p><p>TikTokker Phyllis (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@motherphyllis\" target=\"_blank\">@motherphyllis<\/a>) pointed out three of the biggest reasons why she thinks Millennial parents (like herself) think that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.upworthy.com\/mom-calls-out-boomer-grandparents\" target=\"_blank\">Boomer grandparents are *the worst*<\/a> when it comes to helping take care of their grandchildren. The first reason she is calling out Boomer grandparents is because in her experience, they don&#8217;t really want to help out if needed, and throw a &#8220;you need to raise your own kids&#8221; argument if asked for help. <\/p><p>&#8220;I\u2019m not raising your kids.

You were so excited about it. And then when they get here, you *maybe* stop up at the hospital, *maybe* stop over to the house. You stay for 45 minutes, snap a picture, upload it to Facebook and then you gotta get home to the dogs. And then you might not see the baby again until their first birthday.&#8221;<\/p><p>She goes on to add that Boomer grandparents also like to add in that they are &#8220;not raising your kids. &#8216;They&#8217;re your kids. I raised my kids. Sorry but I&#8217;m not doing that&#8217;,&#8221; she says, adding that when Boomer grandparents are asked to do a small favor like watch their grandkids for a doctor&#8217;s appointment, they use that argument. &#8220;Us Millennials are like, &#8216;Wait! We weren&#8217;t asking you to raise them. We were asking you to keep them for maybe like, an hour or two.&#8221;<\/p><p>Her second reason why she thinks Boomer grandparents are the worst is that they are  irritated\/agitated easily with grandkids. &#8220;Honestly boomers are so agitated with the grandkids.
