When were your parents born?

Both within days of each other in November 1919.

Mum 1928
Dad 1920

I miss them very much, although I'm also very glad they didn't have to deal with Covid...

I think MYOB is a little harsh.

Not responding isn’t punishable.

My father was born in 1911 and some years older than my Mum.

Parents born before WW1, and Spanish flu, for instance, and before the Financial Crisis, will have had a very different start to those born later. I find it fascinating to think what they have experienced, the above, most will have lived through WW2 and served, and then radio, telephone, cars, NHS, antibiotics, TV. Just mindboggling.

Don't know

If this post was your OP it could have been the start of a really interesting thread.

My mother went from not having a TV until the coronation of Queen Elizabeth II to having a smart TV’s upstairs and downstairs, along with an iPad.

My MiL is still with us though she's in hospital where I was visiting her today. She's 98 born 1925.
A wonderful lady.

I too, often have thought about the things that they lived through and discoveries that were made in their lifetimes. Dad was almost 88 when he went and mum lived till she was 99. I was a wee “surprise” late in 1952. My two brothers were already here.
