generations

As a result of a conversation about kids going off to college, it occurred to me how parents always relate everything to their own experiences. But let’s face it, our children are going up in a world 20-30 years later than we did- it’s a very different place and a very different experience. We should not expect our children to have- or to want- the same experiences we did. Some things may transcend, but why are we insulted if our kids reject our notions? We did the same with our parents… We should hope they strive to keep pace with their world, and excel in this new place.
