[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Young adults today want an apology from their parents.

Their parents want a "thank you."

Team Parents.[/quote]

I'm an older adult.

I don't want an apology from my parents. That damage was already done.

I also don't want a thank you from my adult kids.

They didn't get a choice in the decisions I made for them. They were what they were.

Weird thing is, I was talking to one of my adult sons today who has a very workable relationship with his dad, whom I don't speak to. He has another wife. My son was saying Dad told me about the time I fell down the stairs and how it was all his fault. I had an entirely different memory of the same event. It was MY fault, I told him. Your dad didn't see it because of the way we were all standing. Only I saw you start to fall down the stairs because of the way we could view things.

I'm not sure what his dad was doing, and he ended up alright tumbling down some basement stairs to the end because he was made of toddler rubber, but I don't know why his dad said it was all his fault.

It was 100% mine[/quote]
