[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do you consider yourself a "child of the 70s" if you were born in 1972? What about 1978? Or do you consider yourself a child of the 80s?

I ask because I was born in 1982 but consider myself a child of the 90s. I hardly remember the 80s or what was popular then. I remember all of the 90s.

My friend born in 1973 is having a 70s-themed 50th bday party. It seems so odd to me since she only existed in the 70s during ages 1 to 6. [/quote]

You should gently and tactfully share with your friend your concerns about her decade-identity.  She clearly has some unresolved issues with the 80s causing her to identify as a child of the 70s. But she spent 10 years of her childhood in the 80s and only 7 years of her childhood in the 70s.  Having a 70s themed bday party in this case is unsightly and borderline mad.  The only way to help her in this crisis is to carefully intervene and see if she needs help.  You may also gently consider an 80s theme and see if this may begin to correct her misplaced decade identity.[/quote]
