Why did the status below my name change to lurker?

My kids say I should never grow up - and I am happy to oblige
Maybe I am lucky they are so broadminded and easy going

You should grow up! Nowt wrong with being grown up. But the kids should defer to your hard earned wisdom by you having trod the path of life before them!

Kids today just don't respect their elders . . . and by that they are missing out on some crucial lessons.

Sorry, I misled you - life is hard sometimes and they do ask for advice and they do listen ... we just have a good laugh along the way

You are lucky to have such nice understanding children . . . Mind you they would probably hate being called "KIDS".
As for me? I know where I'm at. And most of the time I'm happy with my lot. Thing is I get cheesed off with peeps who think they know what's good and better for me, as if they would know.

They don't mind - they are my babies

I am 68 soon and my idea of fun is a rock/blues/jazz band, a visit to a theme park,a nice day out somewhere.I went to our local OAP tea afternoon and apart from being treated like a 3 year old what was on offer was a puppet show a visit to a garden with tea and a film about cats.Not been back.

HE He ARGGGGGGGggggggggggggggggggg
I f I did what I wanted when I wanted I'd get arrested! PMSL.

To be serious though, kids seem to think that "YOU" have never been there, done it an got the tea shirt! They invented sex all by themselves and it's summut "WE" would'nt understand!
Can yer believe it! We embarrass them if we talk about "IT".

I do agree with you to an extent but were we not the same when we were their age.
I am not sixty and I have the same problem sometimes with the younger age group, especially when trying to warn them against doing something they may regret later.. I get that look "what would you know" as if I had never been their age and had fun.

Sounds grim - the OAP bit I mean - never be ready for that.
I plan to stay independent - if nec grocery shop on line, get everything delivered - and if I go ga-ga I wouldn't know and won't care
