All my kids are late 20s to almost 40 years old. They all are millenials. The most “woke” Jr high science teacher daughter is all on board with the idea that if a kid tells her he or she wants to change genders but they are afraid to tell their parents, then the school has to help the kid without telling the parents.
One other daughter thinks society has created an oppressive situation making it impossible to prosper. I have a son and daughter with masters degrees, electrical engineering and forensic toxicology that are doing well. I have two other sons that are taking over running my company. We get along very well and they are definitely unwoke. I have one daughter in England that is a commercial artist in the printing industry about to finish her master’s degree this semester. She leans left but is very close to her mother and myself. The “woke ones” are unhappier it seems and thin skinned. Those are the ones I have to tip toe around and they get all butt hurt if I say the wrong thing. I never anticipated that some day I would have to pass a woke litmus test in order to earn a visit with grandchildren...

My brothers are vocally alt-right. All ex-military, all purport to be Christian. One is dead from substance abuse and suffered a variety of mental health issues. The surviving two are always broke, angry, and unhappy. I feel like I have to tiptoe around them so they don’t fly off the handle about anything. …..and I’m not at all “woke”. I just know it’s not for me to pass judgement. On the other hand, this is NY. Maybe they feel like they’re the rebels fighting the evil liberal death star. Maybe your kids in Utah feel like they’re the rebels fighting the evil Republican death star.

That is how I would describe some of my kids. The alt right unwoke ones seem to have money and happiness. Never expected I would not be able to speak my mind at family dinners just to be able to still see some of my kids. Feel like I was convicted in absentia, thrown in the hole for a lifetime sentence, but taken out of solitary confinement now and then at their whims just so they could claim to have compassion on me for a half hour walk in the woods. Maybe longer if I pay for dinner. Odd times.... I loved my parents and grandparents. Never felt they had to earn it. Never would have thought of condemning them for the things they said. Funny, I have a sister that lives 1000 miles from me. Our families were separate all while the kids were growing. But some of hers have done the same things to her. Using the exact same vernacular. Must have something to do with energy drinks I think. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- AF mailing list AF@af.afmug.com http://af.afmug.com/mailman/listinfo/af_af.afmug.com
