Reply #104: Really, I don't mean to be condescending, but... [View All]

if the worst that ever happened in your life was that you had to hear over and over again about MY generation, then I'd count you very lucky.

Did your parents provide a good home for you? Feed and clothe you? Treat you well?

If the worst thing they ever did to you was subject your delicate sensitivities to the repeated stories of life during the 60s and 70s, then I have no sympathy.

Talk to someone your age who maybe had to deal with severe physical privation or abuse and see what they'd rather have had to deal with. Abuse from asshole parents, or hearing about the 60s day after day.


I heard lots of stories from my own parents about how rough it was growing up during the WWII era. And more from my MIL, who grew up during the Depression. My dad is gone. My MIL is gone. I'd gladly listen to their stories if they could come back.

Yes...when you get older, you'll understand.
