utopia

I feel so sorry for you.

I had this similar discussion with my boy last night. It seems that every couple had a hard time to communicate with older generation. We just feel so fed up to deal with the senior.

It seems to be a common problem that senior won't admit their mistakes and if you tell them they will have tons of excuses or just become insane. I have the same problem with my dad and my caveman's mom.

Extreme situation is my dad will start to cry and hit the floor.................

Our conclusion is ......the child has slowly transform into a responsible adult but the senior or parents have slowly transform into irresponsible kids. That's kinda explain why kids and parents can never get along. Generally, we are at different level at different time.

But the thing is..... I try to use this reason to comfort myself toward their behavior most of the time.

However, here comes the question from my boy, which make me speechless.

When we were a kid, we try so hard to adapt to the world. We had no choice but follow the instruction or lecture from parent in order to learn new things. So here we are, we grow up into a responsible adult. However, now that the world is changing, we are trying to show (not even education) the parents how things should be done or let them know the world change. So far, I think my mom done a great job. She even has her own laptop and use it more often than I do at home and compare to most senior or parents, she is pretty open minded and up to changes.....

If we were a kid, we need to adapt to the world and learn new things. We all did try so hard to learn even we fail. Why can't the senior or parents try hard to learn even they fail or at least admit their mistakes?
