Elders is a term not meant to apply to just older people.
The elders to teach them to respect first are their parents. THEN comes grown ups like us seniors who live in TV.
I enjoy children very much but what I don't enjoy is the stress of raising them and watching them be raised. It is the hardest job in the world and finally we have done it. It wears me out to see the guiding, the decisions, the bargaining,the directing, the repeating, the bartering, the bantering, the badgering and the lack of sleep, worry, sacrifice, time management and hard work it takes to raise a child well. I want to leave that behind when I am here.
I totally respect the young parents of today. I know first hand how hard the job is.
