I grew up right during and after WW II and we all said that to our parents then. That was in a small town in central Ohio - lots of farms, lots of small factories and family was very important. Sundays were for the family to go for a Sunday afternoon drive after church. Vacations were to my cousin's farm down in Southeastern Ohio where the whole family (4 generations) would get together for home cooking and card playing. We didn't get a television until I was 16 and even then we didn't spend a lot of time watching it. There were just too many things to do outside. By the time the Beatles and that whole generation came along all that had changed but when I grew up we still had the older values which are the same values the kids are developing now. More power to them. It was a far better way to live IMNSHO. Maybe it is just depending on where you grew up. I grew up right during and after WW II and we all said that to our parents then.

I like your thought about why that may be. Have a great day. Thanks for the thought, Brenda. Cheers!
