I’m 56, been married 30 years, and my wife would probably argue that I’m STILL not there. :)
I’ve paid my own bills and changed light bulbs longer than the author has probably been alive but do half the other things on the list. Nothing wrong with cereal and sandwiches or working in your pjs.
Pretty good definition!
I'll be 60 next year, and I'm guilty of (at least) #'s 1,3,4,28, and up until a couple of years ago 30.
I look forward to summer vacation, because I'm worn out from my son's activities: school, Boy Scouts, sports, etc. Gives me a chance to recharge my batteries.
Since August, this has been our weekly schedule:
Mon: Boy Scouts, 7:30 - 8:30
T-W-Th: Football practice, 6:30 - 8:30. I generally get my walking in while he's at practice.
Sat: Game day
Sun: Church, followed by religious ed, 6:15 - 7:30 (I teach his class - Old Testament)
As to #30, I spoke with my mom at least once a week, but she's been afflicted with Alzheimer's for the past two years. It's tough, she has no memory of her brother, my sister, or me.
Yum. And, I love old-fashioned oats straight out of the box. Dinner, lunch, makes no difference.
Hey now, I resemble that remark!
Son #3. His mail goes into a draw on the table under the TV. He swings by about once a week to pick it up
Been living on his own for 6 years.
How about not having a bank account?
Me? I’ve had a checking account since I was in college. The two young women (29, 26) living with me pay everything, including the rent, in cash. Neither of them have ever had any bank account. The 29-yr.-old shares her parents’ cellphone plan. Both of them rely on me for Wi-Fi.
I don’t get it. Is this a generational thing, or is it just them?
