This generation should entertain this generation. It's only fair. When I was a kid, I mowed the lawn. Now, somebody else's kid can mow the lawn.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
My generation is under-entertained.
I grew up at my grandmother's house and she had a beautiful garden. I used to hate mowing the lawn and weeding, which is what you do when you're a kid.
The previous generation paved the way for my generation to gallop unheeded into jobs previously reserved for men.
There is this idea that appealing to youth is the only way forward. But that is no longer the case. Youth is not everything. Now we have all the baby-boomers in their 60s, like me, who are actively engaged in life - we're not retiring, we're not just being put out to grass once we hit 60.
Our grandfathers had to run, run, run. My generation's out of breath. We ain't running no more.
My generation will actually be the first generation that is tamer than the one that came before it, and it will probably be poorer; less fun and less money.
I absolutely hate mowing the lawn. When I hear the mowers starting, I want to kill myself: it's the sound of death approaching. Hoovering's OK, but I never in my life wanted to have a lawn and certainly never wanted to mow one.
Each generation looks to its children to keep our society moving and to make life better.
I mow my own lawn.
The Greatest Generation got to save old tires, dig a Victory Garden and forgo sugar. The Richest Generation is being asked to shop.
