What do you think are important signifiers of age level? Like, what are the things that make you different from your parents?
ForteBass:
Well not being almost 70 helps.

To give a serious answer, guyz...
Yesterday I had a massive row with my mum's partner (who is 44 years older than me) about the fact that he was watching football (soccer) at the dinner table.
I hate football (the watching thereof, not the partaking in) and my mum isn't keen on TV while we eat. What we mostly were clashing over, though, is the fact that I feel that everyone should be equal in a household. We share out the house work, and although I can't cook I always wash and dry up and do the other food-related tasks. As far as I'm concerned, this should also apply to things like watching TV. If two people would rather not, then we shouldn't.
But he disagrees. He said that it is his house, and that he was brought up in a family where the father chose what to watch. Is this an age thing? I'm not sure if it is a generation difference but I think maybe my generation (I'm 17) is on a more equal level to adults than previous generations. I call my teachers by their first names, for example.
