In this episode of The Lawmas Podcast, Lacey and Lauren kick off their millennial series by discussing the unique challenges of having Boomer parents. The hosts begin with Lacey delivering a Kanye West update, detailing his recent lawsuit against his dentist over laughing gas addiction.

The main discussion focuses on the struggles millennials face "raising" their stubborn Boomer parents. Lauren and Lacey share frustrations about their parents' resistance to health advice, from refusing to drink water instead of sweet tea to ignoring doctor's orders after surgery. They note how their generation approaches health more holistically, focusing on nutrition, exercise, and mental wellbeing, while their parents often resist these concepts.

Social media usage creates another generational divide, with Lauren and Lacey talking about their parents' questionable photo selections and inappropriate posts. Lauren and Lacey discuss boomer parents often struggle to understand the difference between venting and asking for solutions, leading to communication breakdowns.

Lauren points out that despite these challenges, millennials maintain closer relationships with their parents than previous generations did, partly because Boomer grandparents are more involved with their grandchildren. This creates both stronger bonds and more opportunities for friction.

The episode wraps up with reflections on how millennials are trying to help their aging parents navigate health and technology while respecting their independence. As Lacey says, "It is hard raising these Boomer parents," before teasing the next installment in their millennial series about raising their own children.
