Are the Parents of the Millennials Boomers?

Alexandra Petri makes some good points in this WaPo editorial piece, but how late in life did her parents have her if these were actually her parents' experiences? The piece opens:

It's almost a truism that we millennials lack the opportunities our parents had. It's not just that we're missing out on the chance to contract polio and Beatlemania perhaps at the same time or to fight in the Korean War, or even to wind up at Woodstock surrounded by oily strangers....What's different is the lack of hope.

Yeah, um, as the parent of 2 Millennials, that wasn't what I was doing as a preschooler...or even a gleam in my daddy's eye....

Most people old enough to have enjoyed Woodstock and suffered polio have grandkids now. And "Korean War"? That would be the experience of the grandparents of Millennials.

Leaves me Jonesin'.
