Same. And as much fun, and funny as my Mom was, and she was great, her mother, my GMA was epic. Funny, relatable, and smartly snarky far before her "time".

It's that apple of knowledge, man. The more we know, the sadder it seems.

to think that a guy who wants us to respect him as an intellectual tries to get away with saying the phrase "infinitely happier."

She likely saw the end of both WWs. Of course she'd be happier! My great grandmother was too!

Likewise

Grandmothers also knew, they didn't just believe, or want to believe, that raising a family was part of Gods plan, and they were part of something bigger and would be rewarded after death. To day no one really believes, many actively refute it, others pretend but fail to believe

I always listened to the old people. As I grow older I use what they taught me. Not nostalgic , respecting elders has a profound social function. It helps spread, and hinder ideas at the same time.

But your mother had the pill.

Aghhh..ww2 is what brought the women out of the home! In America, during the civil war, etc..women had weapons..watched the children..was mommy and daddy while husband was fighting.

Probably more religious too.

My mother was a complete emotional train wreck. She was a political liberal and strong Catholic in the 60s and 70s these opposing forces broke her.

Ah, the era of the stay-at-home mom, when Dad's salary was more than enough to live comfortably on.
