Generational abuse
I was greatly amused to witness one of my twin grandchildren (aged 4 years) wrestling with his mother, laughing and accusing her of bullying. The twins have just started their first year at school, and are obviously quick learners. Bullying is currently the big No!No! in Queensland schools. This family play reminded me of my two youngest daughters (one is now the mother of the twins), at the dinner table , threatening to report me to the police for child abuse. "Dad! What you said is child abuse. We know our rights, we are women of the world." Back then, child abuse was the social topic of the moment, in Queensland schools. Now the modern mood has turned in my favour. When in danger of losing an argument with the women of the world, I'm quick to claim elder abuse.
