A Redditor asked Xennials, older millennials, and younger Gen Xers to share some quirks of their boomer parents.

Millennials are frustrated with their parents' abilities to use technology but are touched when they send them a greeting card.

"They act jealous of anything we do/buy that they can't," one millennial said.

"My mom drives five hours to see us, then spends the whole time texting people from her church or looking at Facebook " "I once sat in their living room for over an hour before they decided to put their phones down and speak to me, only to phub me and pick them right back up" "My parents are always right and they are not impressed about anything".
