Boomering…

I am a baby boomer, at the young end but booming all the same.
Some of my contemporaries are complaining that boomering is slowly fading them into invisibility.
A visiting priest at my church once said,
“The best thing about turning sixty this week is that I will no longer have to keep up my image as a sex symbol.”
I haven’t turned sixty yet and I don’t think I ever aspired to sex symbolism but the best thing for me about booming is:
- No one gropes me, chats me up, sidles closer to me on a bus,
- Stares, wolf whistles, rubs against me on the tube,
- Honks horns, flirts shamelessly, makes kissing noises as I walk,
- Mentally undresses me, calls me chick, yells sexist comments from a car,
- Remarks on my breasts, leers at the flicker of my tongue, or pinches my bottom.
If this is invisibility then BRING IT ON!
Well hello there! My name is Vivienne McNeny.
I am an empty nester exploring life as a Boomer…you could say I'm happily Boomering along!
As a homeschooling Mum I have finally quit the job of role model and mentor to my four children. I do what I want to do, eat when I feel like it, enjoy life with my blue eyed cowboy and clean my house once a month or so whether it needs it or not!
In true English form I write about the emergence of my true identity now that I can no longer hide behind my children as their Mum.
