Boomers have it rough. On the one hand, you have pleasant memories of your carefree and relatively simple upbringing. But, on the other, you have to try and fit into a world that's drastically changed since your younger days.

The modern world is a confusing place for Boomers. It can be a struggle to keep up with the ever-changing norms of society, from the increasing prevalence of technology to the fast-moving pace of life. Likewise, it can be challenging to keep up with the latest trends and the modern way of doing things.

The Boomer has to adapt to a world that's vastly different from the one in which they grew up. It can be challenging to adjust to new mannerisms, habits, values, and ways of communicating.

They say you can't teach an old dog new tricks. Unfortunately, it looks like the boomers are the old dogs in this situation because modern life has a slew of new tricks they don't get. From newfangled apps to the latest tech gadgets, boomers are often left scratching their heads.

Let's face it, with people now expecting to live until they're 115, boomers will be stuck with many new things that are completely foreign to them. But hey, let's give them a break. We have all been there, right?

It takes work trying to keep up with the times. Plus, the internet has provided us with plenty of opportunities to laugh at those moments when our parents and grandparents don't understand something.

So let's cut the boomers some slack and enjoy the show.

1. Sex party - Gender Reveal

2. Gimme tech support.

3. "My mom’s been photocopying documents from her iPad."

4. "Kisses!"

The Baby Boomers are the generation born between 1946 and 1964. They are characterized as being independent, optimistic, and hardworking.

Additionally, they are often seen as the most influential generation, having shaped the economy and culture of the world.

5. "My grandma asked me to take a photo with her and when I flipped the camera to front-facing, she said “that’s nice. When is that from?”

6. "My mom printed her divorce papers on stickers."

7. "Spelling mistake fixed."

8. "My grandma has been wearing this mask for months because she “loves gardening.” Today, someone at the store explained it to her."

9. "A real saga right here."

10. Enjoy.

The Boomer also has to face the fact that they may not be viewed in the same light as they once were. The young-at-heart may be seen as out of touch or outdated.

They may feel they don't fit into the modern world and its modern norms. But the Boomers can take heart in the fact that, with the right attitude and a few adjustments, they can still make a positive impact in their community.

They can still bring their wisdom and experience to the table and help shape the future. So don't give up, Boomer — you still have plenty to offer!
