[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why is it odd?

My parents are in their 60’s and they enjoy updating their homes. They have had a lot of fun actually purchasing items that remind them of their childhoods to add to their “Beatles room” that is full of memorabilia. They also remodel to maintain evwrything in a current style.

Are they supposed to just stop enjoying life? Stop having projects? [/quote]

Exactly. Well said.  My opinion after reading some of the posts is that there are quite a few people who don't see their parents as [b]real people, with interests and hobbies and living life to its fullest.[/b]

The kicker for me were the people who resented that their parents hadn't furnished their kids houses and kept their own furniture (how dare they!?!) when their kids could have used it.  Like their parents were supposed to sit on the floor after giving their furniture away to a bunch of entitled and bratty 30 year olds walking around with their hands out.[/quote]

So you're saying that 'living life to the fullest' and 'having a hobby' means buying crap in bulk and stuffing your already stuffed rooms with more stuff? Mkay, then.. To each their own, I guess, but I'd shoot myself in the head if that ever becomes my definition of a full life.[/quote]
