[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't think kids should give up seats for all adults but I do think they should give up seats for elderly or non-able bodied people.[/quote] once you get to be 40ish all people are non-able bodied. Hurts like hell to get up, back hurts sitting on the floor, everything aches. You must be young.[/quote]

tell me you're joking  :shock:

I'm 51 and feel 21! not joking on my end.  what the heck have you done to yourself that you feel that way in your 40's?

Jeez, that's not the point.  The point is that the kids should offer their seats - if you're 51 and ready to do jumping jacks and squats in the living room while everyone is sitting around then you are free to tell the kid, "no thanks, keep sitting there, I'm okay on the floor."  and that's it.  Kids should get up and offer their seats to the older generations period.

I also agree with the poster that said as a rule, give up your seat to the older generation no matter your age.  I'm 50 and always give my seat to the grandparents.  Half the time they say no the other times they take it.

It always irritated me when we'd be going into the dining room for dinner and my SILs kids (tweens/teens) would literally run to the table to get the best chairs.  Often squeezing between all the adults to sort of push their way to the front to get them.  This was because we'd have the nice dining room cushy chairs, kitchen chairs and about 3 or 4 folding (uncomfortable) chairs.  My SIL kids would all run to grab the cushy dining room chairs while the 70 year old would end up in the wobbly folding chair.  It would disgust me. And I and maybe one or two other adults would switch with them while the kids blissfully sat in the best chairs.[/quote]
