(79,462 posts)I will say that I never expected to be viewed as a fossil. An artifact, maybe.
My older son once said, "You thought of yourself as radical when you were young, but ....." I reminded him that I've been places, hung out with "real" radicals, and done things far beyond making snarky comments on the internet that he mistakes for meaningful.
My younger son at times expresses disappointment that I am not the young activist I was when he was a kid. That I'm too nice these days, and am friendly to most everyone.
My younger daughter is comfortable being politically active on a local level, and is always willing to help me with any project. But she is primarily focused on changing society as a social worker, one person at a time.
But my daughter in Boston will be running for office fairly soon.
