[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I feel pretty badly for today's young adults.  They are treated like they are 12.  I got married at 18 (1973), had two kids by 24, stayed married for 25 years, my first got married at 20, had two kids by 22, stayed married for 20 years, everyone is doing fine and actually raised their own kids, supported their families, and led productive lives.

I did not ask my mother for advice at age 18, I did what adults do and made my own decisions.  So did my kids.  Mid 20s people ought to be well on their way to mid life with everything pretty much under control.[/quote]

OP here

So you were born in 1955 and got married at 18

OK cool

But the part where you think that 2026 is the same as everything when you were 50 years ago is ... different

You honestly sound like when I went to a town meeting on replacing the old little league field and there were all these old people who stood up in town meeting with their yellow legal pads and scrawls and they were all like, "so when I was a kid we played baseball hitting rocks with sticks and we liked it"

Even the old ladies who weren't even allowed to play baseball at the time
