At my age, the entirety of their life experience was really just related to having kids. So they just seemed like kids with kids. And frankly, that vibe kinda stuck around. I feel older than I felt like my parents were when I was five-years-old and they were my age now. But I can't really speak to how they felt, so who knows. But I'm sure they feel like their parents were older than them at their ages now, because
like you say, at their ages now their parents were grandparents. Oh, and they were also retired, or a couple of em were. Ain't like that no more.
