    She’s postwar. Boomer by definition. Silent generation is for children raised during the war.

    Eta: I looked up the dates and I can see a lot of sources that give the 1946 date so consensus is on your side. I’m old, but the boundary used to be those who were raised during the war vs those who wouldn’t have any memory of it. There is the same argument on the other side as well where late boomers claim to be “Generation Jones” between boomers and X.

      Yeah, they’re all pretty close to the border no matter what. I was honestly just throwing that in because I was saying that they seemed like they were different generations personality-wise (my aunt also married at 20 a man a decade older than she was, so that plays a role) and I figured someone was going to reply that they technically were from different generations.

        Im an Xer but my parents were born in the 1920s. My parents were the same ages as my friends grandparents. I grew up listening to swing music at home. Lol.
