[People admit the one thing that Boomers really got right and some folks are uncomfortable]( "You have to force yourself to do things that are difficult and uncomfortable." An overarching [Baby Boomer]( stereotype is that they have a problem with the younger generations, especially [Millennials]( because they were coddled growing up and lack the determination to do hard things. Many believe that when helicopter parents shelter kids from discomfort, they never develop the [emotional resilience]( that it takes to succeed on their own. Some may even attribute this to the [increase in mental illness.](Â A writer on X, who goes [by Katie](, recently admitted that[Boomers who believe]( facing discomfort has a significant benefit may be right. Her post has been seen over 4 million times. [Read the story](
[Millennial mom charges her 3 young children rent, sparking debate among parents]( Her goal is teach her children how to budget and pay bills âin a safe environment.â Back in [May of 2023](, a [Texas](Â [couple]( sparked a huge parental debate after saying that they charged their 19-year-old daughter rent after she graduated high school. While some thought it taught responsibility, others felt like they were merely adding another arbitrary obstacle for their child. Now, if this was the response to a 19-year-old getting charged rent, imagine how folks might feel to hear about it happening to kids under 13. In a viral TikTok, mom and personal finance influencer Samantha Bird shared that she charged her three elementary school-aged children rent and utilities each month.

[Squatters' rights laws]( are some of the most bizarrely misused legal realities we have, and something no one seems to have a good answer for. Most of us have heard stories of someone moving into a vacant home and just living there, without anyone's permission and without [paying rent](, and somehow this is a legal question mark until the courts sort it out. [According to The National Desk](, squatters' rights are a carryover from [British property law](and were created to ensure that abandoned property could be used and to protect occupants from being kicked out without proper notice. It should go without saying that squatter law isn't meant to allow someone to just take over someone else's property, but sometimes that's exactly what happens. It's what happend to [Flash Shelton's mother]( when she put her house up for rent after her husband passed away. A woman contacted her with interest in the property, only she wanted to do repairs and look after the home instead of paying rent. Before anyone knew it, she had furniture delivered (which she later said was accidental) and set up camp, despite Shelton's mom not agreeing to the arrangement.

Dorilee Lavin, 39, was[a divorced mother](of 3 living in Vermont. When she was ready to find her next relationship, she made a list of characteristics she wanted in her next husband. âI manifested him hard,â Dorilee, 39, told [Today.com]([.]( Three days later, she saw a tall, dark-haired man named Sean walking his 2 daughters to school and hoped he was single. âIt was the sweetest thing ever, like an image youâd see in a magazine,â she recalled. "They had such a happy energy." After some research, she discovered that he was single, too. Unfortunately, their paths didnât cross and [the school year]( was nearing its end. "I never got the chance to connect with him, but the [after-school care] was tired of hearing me talk about him to them," she confessed in a TikTok video with over 1.7 million views.
