Same on the relationship forum. You end up seeing several comments like "May I ask how old you are?"

They definitely come on here on snow day threads wanting the schools to be closed or complaining that they are open!

Is there even a teenager equivalent of DC Urban Moms and Dads?

To clarify, when I say "I love coming on here", "sharing our opinions", and "Post questions a pretty normal amount" I mean that we enjoy these from how easily adults get enraged over the smallest things and how people will be so snarky when they're anonymous. (PP)


You're an old soul, kiddo. Stick around for a few more years and you'll be getting tips on how to raise grandchildren right. This is a heavily Gen-X forum.
