[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I try to remind myself that when we were kids our parents likely wanted to tell us to stop talking many times and still listened to our endless stories as well. I also try my best to be patient and realize that many older people are just lonely and appreciate an audience and attention and that being old and feeling irrelevant can be depressing. [/quote] Seriously? My parents were of the "children should be seen and not heard" school of thought. Maybe more modern parents listen to endless stories, but not most of the old school parents. [/quote] +1 My parents told me to STFU often. They left us with sitters as young as 9. An older sitter abused me Andy ignored my complaints until someone saw her repeatedly hit me in public. Tip of the iceberg. Gotta love. When people from loving homes try to guilt trip having no idea the world isnt gumdrops and tootsie rolls for many of us.[/quote]
