Reply #109: It was like every other era--good stuff and bad stuff [View All]

[Lydia Leftcoast]

It was a good time to be a white middle-class child, but in my present status as middle-aged single woman, I'm glad to be living now. Unlike some of my older relatives in the 1950s, I'm not expected to live with my parents, just because I'm single. I don't have to dress in "old lady" clothes. I am considered a full adult in the eyes of the law.

I've had the best of both worlds.
