[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You have both of your parents, they don't. If they feel orphaned, why would you begrudge them the term?[/quote] Not op. But I don't have both my parents and as much as that can suck at times it's not anything like the experience my SO had losing both parents as a child and the turmoil and trauma that causes. So yeah I'd be disgusted by a person 50+ years old who had parents their entire formative years well into mid life and likely has a spouse and kids of their own whining about being an orphan[/quote] A good friend referred herself as an orphan a couple of times while grieving recently, having just found her remaining parent dead on the floor. Do you get how gross and inappropriate it would have been to be "disgusted" by this? Don't worry, your SO still "wins" if that's important to you ; no one is trying to take their experiences away from them.[/quote]
