Two daughters and a son, ranging in age from 31-27, and all three are committed to social justice, progressive values, and voting for only those with a D next to their name. Makes this old Gen Xer feel like he did something right

(5,262 posts)You did good.
I have 2 boys, 25 and 22. They are good guys.
The first in my family to get a college degree.
The oldest works a non-profit doing taxes for low income folks.
He told me he really likes finding extra $ for single mothers.
The youngest will graduate from West Chester in the spring.
Both progressive. How could they not be after hearing me yelling about the God damned republicans all their lives.
I'm damned proud of them both.

Happy Pop's Day!

Kick in to the DU tip jar?
This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.
As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
