All that stuff you did they knew nothing about? Wrong, they knew and they did the same - only 20-30 years before you did.
Completely agree with this, only wished i had realised it sooner!!!

Hit home when I was managing staff after being in a job 1 shift.
Hit home even harder this year working in the bar I was at. I was one of the oldest working there

And you've really grown up when you've got past that and you realise that whilst they were right when you thought they were wrong, actually they were only human too, and some of the stuff you idolised them for, they were actually pretty dumb at.

Recognise the wisdom your parents have, but also recognise where they fell short, and don't make the same mistakes with your own kids (though making different mistakes is OK)

It's at the point where you feel like you need a kip in the afternoon, you enjoy watching Country Tracks, and when you resort to saying 'when I was a kid' in conversation and then laugh it off.
