I am curious if you have children? I hate that you feel the need to say such things. I would suggest that, for one, being on the earth more years SHOULD mean that you understand life better than you did 10 or 20 years ago....you've had more...life. If someone does not...it appears that would be a lack of maturity issue and not an age issue. Secondly, I wonder if you have been to a restaurant or any kind of public outing in quite some time if you feel that the only children of older parents have cornered the market of "spoiled children." And the term spoiled child is kind of crass and cruel is it not? Are not our children THE most precious of resources that we have? Lastly, these terribly "spoiled" and selfish children with chronic misbehavior issues either have some sort of disability or they have not been lovingly and adequately trained or possibly just didn't have a nap on the particular day you saw them.
Oh well, I circumvented the natural order of things so my punishment must be that I will be cheering at ball fields and attending school plays when my friends are busy playing bridge in the assisted living facility....drats how arrogant of me! Really?...is that comment the ONLY thing you could have done with your time today? If so, THAT is what is sad. You could have played chase or wrestled and tickled and then gone out to say nite-nite
to tree frogs before bed time. That's what we did.
