There are some issues that need to be resolved before the child is born and those issues are between the two individuals. I am sure your cousin appreciates your help and is glad that someone is listening to him and trying to be rational for him.
They will either resolve those issues or not but they are on a time crunch. Once the child arrives, everything that happened before will be shunted into the background.
I brought up this subject True to my children, who range from 19 to 29 (6 of them) and they responded that they don't see exactly what it is that you see.
They can see some aspects but do not believe that playing the blame game is going to be effective or help anyone. They all work and have since they were 14 and yes, there are times they feel disillusioned. However, my oldest daughter brought up the fact that what you are complaining about has been complained about for centuries and that the argument about how the elders have spoiled the world for the younger generation is circular and pops up every 10 to 20 years.
You are so right True! There are some things that will just have to be left to the young. And I guess I do have some years to wait until that "certain age" to know that I have done everything in life I have wanted to.
Not over 50 yet, close though and wow! it feels good to know that I can take off the mantel of vigilance and hand it down to the next generation and treat myself to a life of no worries, no pain and no adventures.
Ooops! Wait! I can't do that yet; this is MY time and although others (much younger) might think I am irrelevant; I'm not.
Really? Are you serious? You must be, you are so filled with righteous indignation! Tell me though, is it hard to get a hat on that head or was it always that big and filled with pompous assitude?
