[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is hilarious. If we wanted to make you feel bad we'd tell you about how it feels to sleep all night and sleep in and travel when we like and how awesome it is to not have to deal with the schools. I could go on and on about how wonderful it is to have grown kids. I don't do this but people have been doing this since time immemorial. Know that you are doing things that people younger than you think are weird or annoying or stupid. Everyone is a little bit annoying. Happiness is a choice. You can't change other people and certainly not strangers, so you can get all worked up and feel angry and assume they are intentionally being smug or hurtful and be angry and hurt about it or you can assume that they mean the best and feel good about people trying to be kind and appreciating your children albeit ham handedly. In one case you will feel bad and in the other you will feel good. It is all up to you. [/quote]

And yet here you are, trying to argue people out of their feelings, perspective and preferences. Why, when apparently you can not get all worked up? It’s all up to you.[/quote]
