    Don’t you have your own kids to annoy? Or did they block all contact already?

    I’m starting to think I’ve waited too long to follow suit.

      So personal attacks are the only mode of discussion and debate you know, I guess. Seems like a miserable way to go through life. What am I doing to annoy you? Responding to your comments?

      I have a good relationship with my kids, thanks. Our youngest is 25, getting her PhD. The other two are late 30s and doing well.

      I really don’t know what issue you have with me, or if it’s really just because my birthday falls into a range that you find abhorrent. Aside from the year I chose to be born, I’ve voted for progressive policies, I give to charity, we’ve helped our kids as much as we’re able including paying for education and letting them live at home as long as they wanted, I work a meaningful job, and I’ve saved a responsible amount so we shouldn’t be a burden when I retire in a year or two. I know tons of people my age who can say the same things. I’m sorry if your experiences with older folks have left you with so much animosity or if you just live off of stereotypes.
