Just assert yourself. Comedian Sam Levenson used to say, when I was a kid I had to do what my parents wanted me to do. Now as a parent (of a baby boomer) I’m supposed to do what my kids what me to do. When do I get to do what I want to do.
“The world is passing through troubled times. The young people of today think of nothing but themselves. They have no reverence for parents or old age. They are impatient of all restraint. They talk as if they alone knew everything and what passes for wisdom with us is foolishness with them. As for girls, they are forward, immodest and unwomanly in speech, behaviour and dress.” —Peter the Hermit, 1274 AD
