Respect Your Elders

[1974Mustang]

Well, I am one of your elders and I say don’t respect your elders just because they’re your elders.

It’s a line I heard much growing up but one I think needs to be done away with.

Age isn’t wisdom and there are plenty in my age group who have no business giving advice on life… or anything else for that matter.

Respect them if they show you respect, not just because of their age.

I think repeat just gets confused with being polite.

Biggest thing that pisses me off is people with no children given advice on children.

I think the same.

I had that happen after my first son was born. Aunts and uncles were telling me how he should be raised when they hadn’t had kids themselves.

It’s more excusable with them than a strange but not my cup of coffee all the same.

Yeah as you said its with everything really... But I tend to just be polite and nod with most topics.

The way I see it some problems can be solved with outside thinking and I often enjoy that. A fresh perspective and all that regardless of experience.

I also find as I try to explain everything to a person that doesn't understand I talk my way through and solve the problem myself.

The child one however I find it hard to be polite. I'm not a bite my lip kinda guy lol

Sounds like a plan.

Boomers are brilliant. What other age group can post this and still look in the mirror and feel cool

You’re wrong.

I looked in the mirror and felt ice cold.

Agreed and agree with someone else that said “be polite” yes I agree with that, but respect.. fuck that, respect is earned not given. I know a lot of elders that are absolute clowns (especially baldy ones) I would never respect.

Not even an elder. He’s only 49 years old. He just looks old.

You can find his birth month and year on the Companies House website. It’s all public.

Yeah even at that he’s my elder we he’s got almost 2 decades on me in terms of age, but yes he definitely looks older.. clearly not wiser though.
