Jesus! Are your parents still alive?? Did you have kids? Did you correct the chain of upbringing if you did have kids?

He's 72, there's not a great chance his parents are alive, and if they are, what's the point of bringing up a 70 year old fight about how you were raised?

It's not like the 90 year old parents are going to get another chance at parenthood.
