[quote=Anonymous]I haven't read all 8 pages of rants against older women - but do want to reply to the original post. I am 66 and a mom of two adults. I've found that -- with my kids anyway -- that it isn't what strangers say but how I respond to it that creates the impact felt by them. For example -- when I stranger made a hurtful comment -- I never acted hurt -- just would laugh and act like they are the crazy oddballs. My kids would then let it roll off their back. This maybe wouldn't have helped the OP child who was tired and getting teary - but I would have smiled and shook my head at my kid and whispered -- oh wow -- that's really kooky! Humor in parenting can be helpful. Now the bashing of the boomer generation can continue! LOL![/quote]
