Augie Posted December 9, 2019 Share Posted December 9, 2019 No problems there. The most important people to parents are their children. You are there to raise and protect them to the best of your ability. The most important person to a child is obviously their parents. There is more than one perspective, and that’s fine. I won’t buy into any generation bashing. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gray Beard Posted December 9, 2019 Share Posted December 9, 2019 When my toddler granddaughter was upset about something, I told my daughter that parents can only be as happy as their least happy child. She immediately replied that if she can only be as happy as her daughter, and I can only be as happy as my daughter, then... I guess I’ll have to rethink that line of reasoning.

Augie Posted December 9, 2019 Share Posted December 9, 2019 The title is a mess. The most important......what? Kids? Should somebody else’s kids be more important? Apparently he didn’t have room for the word “people” or “thing”, so being the journalist he is, he just left it incomplete. Personally, I’d be embarrassed to publish that title. Move some words around to make it work. Maybe I’m just an oddball. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a kid of the 60's we respected the adults in our family. I still call my aunts and uncles who are still alive by prefacing their name with aunt or uncle. None of this "hey John or what's up Sue". Remember when, sending a package or a letter to a boy we used to put "Master" before the name of the person? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never called him anything BUT Uncle Bill. Had a dream about him recently (long deceased) and it was still Uncle Bill. (Not to be confused with “Mister Bill”, that was very different.? ) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
