Quote From: afraidi for one cant understand what it is that so many people see wrong with aging,the beauty of a tree isn't seen till the tree grows for many years, and a persons wisdom as well isn't seen till they too have aged for many years, when we cover up our age we give up wisdom . and thats the most important thing adults have to pass on to the young. sooo what if you have a few wrinkles it wont change who you are it only shows you are full of wisdom, and not a lot of hot air.
I don't understand why women have children if they don't want to take the responsibility of taking care of them.
My sister-in-law was all to happy to return to work and hand her kids off to her mom and dad who raised them.
Then when I had a child they "condemned" me for wanting to take care of him.
Very confusing. Caused a lot of hurt feeling. Seems to me they would have liked the idea that I would want to care for my own children, after all, they were mine to care for, not her.
As for the old growing wiser, NOT!
I know many who are very immature (selfish) that are way older than I. People don't change from the day they are born. You learn certain ways you can act from your parents, but basically you are who you are.
My son is very mature in most ways, but for the most part, he is way past his years.
