[quote=Anonymous]Wow, y'all . . . just . . . wow. A little perspective and a little resilience, maybe? Or a little compassion for older folks who think they're helping (or need to help) when they give unsolicited advice, especially if maybe they are feeling lonely or irrelevant or ignored and are trying, albeit ineptly, to start a conversation? Most of those writing in here have quite young kids, which makes me think that your own parents and older friends are probably often still vibrant and active. But one day they won't be, and you will hope that someone can just take it like a human if the older people you love put a foot wrong or accidentally offend or need help or don't seem au courant. I sure hope that my aunt or my mom doesn't accidentally look at your toddler wrong one day in the grocery store.[/quote]
