Same here with parents from that generation. We were taught to be quiet in places that you should be quiet, to do chores, save until you can pay cash, be nice to others, be on time, do your best etc. I wish things would go back to the older values.
My parents are from this generation. Lots of similarities with your dad & mine; mine is . Work hard, save hard, plan, on time, helps others, can fix stuff and still does most everything for the home, now living a good retirement that was well earned.
You were blessed with great loving parents.i was not that lucky.however it made me strong to get through a lot when i became an adult.
I adopted the never be late for anything from both Mom and Grandma. Even today I will sit on the couch with my pocketbook waiting to go somewhere that we don't have to leave for two hours. Happy Monday Everyone ❤🌺✌️
Yes, I call myself the on time machine. Happy Monday to you!
Sounds wonderful
80+ here. People asked me and my husband why no children (I was unable but didn't realize it until later). My retort was, "My husand is Hungarian, and I don't want to have kids without toes!" The word for "toes" in Hungarian is "foot fingers." Back then, I think some people actually believed that!😬
My parents were of that generation, mom is still with us at 80. We were taught not to be tacky and ask personal questions. I'm always amazed and a bit amused at the amount of people that do. Now my father, he did ask questions. He was in law enforcement and had been a Marine. His favorite questions during my childhood were, "Who? And what does their father do?"😄
My husband's grandfather was very handy. Grandma had a plaque on the wall that read, 'I know you can fix it, but I want a new one'.
I was brought up by my grandparents. Silent generation and greatest generation. I really took what they taught me to heart and I wish people would live as they did. Every generation has a good and a bad but their food was just incredible.
they might have been the silent generation, but their work ethic, values and hardships still speak to us and we have so much to learn from them. Your parents were exemplary, those guidelines/rules have served you well as an adult. great content!
Raised by the silent generation, and I can relate to all the things you said about your parents because mine were like yours.
That makes a lot of sense. Ive not heard that generation called by this name. My dad is definitely in this mindset. My mom however... Lol. Dad is a no nonsense, not warm and fuzzy. His dad was born in 1902. He was hard core emotionally and worked hard as a farmer to raise a family of 6 during the Depression. He was also a "holy roller" preacher for many years. My dad, now 86, grew up with no TV, only a newspaper and limited radio. You worked on the farm, ate 3 meals, and went to bed. Not much fun or shenanigans. My parents farmed with 3 kids and we all learned hard work. If i stay busy running my own homestead then i dont have time to be looking into other's business.
I love hearing people's stories
No getting around it, you are charming! Otherwise, I wouldn't be searching out your videos😄
She's the neighbor that you want living next door! She's very charming.
You're the best!
I love you
Hi Money Mom , my folks were both from the silent generation (1934 and 1935) and they were just like you said . They were very disciplined and i certainly didn’t question them lol 😅
They were really a grounded and wise generation. My grandma had 7 sons, she was never jealous of any of her daughters in law or feel threatened by them.
Now that I know what is truly happening in our world today - I am sure your folks were silent and taught you that was to keep safe. God Bless them and all those who whom endured life through that time.
The first time I was forced to speak politics was a friend of THIRTY years. She had to go. The vile things she believed in private truly upset me. Sometimes we need to know what folks are really about.
I find the people in the Silent Generation were stern and strict and sometimes for the wrong reasons. They learned to shut up and never “whine” because things were literally as they were back then. Wars, hunger, depression- kind of like now- hmmmmm.
Odd balls are always my fav people.
Now I see this is the generation of my parents.
They also said no talking about finances, religion and politics. They followed those social norms. They discussed politics a bit around the dinner table, but not much. They didn't even tell each other who they voted for...so each could hope the other came to his/her senses and voted their way.
They never discussed money either. I have no idea what their income was. All I know is that they saved big time. After my mom died in the early '70's and my dad remarried in the mid '70's, his new wife didn't have the same savings habit. Immediately, they bought a farm for cash and a fancy new van. I think mother and dad were saving for college for 4 children and weddings for 3 girls. Even after buying the farm and van for cash, there was still enough money available for college and weddings. My parents were frugal, savers and invested well.
And, they were silent! My dad wes in the Navy. Apparently, loose lips do sink ships... and they had to make sure the "ship" of our family was safe and secure against 'sinking.'😊
If we all followed your parents rules of no talking about finances, religion and politics, imagine how less divided we would all be today. Especially the political angle. They were very wise back then.
I was raised by the "Greatest generation" by my biological mother's adopted parents raised me they were born in 1921 and 1924 .my biological parents were born in the baby boomers generation 1950 & 1955. I was born in the early 70's .I got raised different than people from my generation but i am glad that they raised me .I learned things that people my age never got to experience being raised by what was considered seniors back in the 70's and 80's .They were in there late 70's and early 80's when i was a teenager.They got to meet all of my children before they past.I miss them so very much. They were my parents in my book .
My father was from Lithuania. I learned that he had served in WWII upon his death. He NEVER mentioned serving. Talk about being silent !! We found pictures of him in uniform, in addition to ribbons (?) and pins from the time he served when we were emptying his home. I'm not sure WHY he never talked about it.
Wow. How interesting
❤❤❤❤❤❤
My parents are still going strong at 88 and 86. My father's parents were Austrian-German and my mothers were Italian, and both were like your father. No warm fuzzies and very strict. I'm glad they were because I turned out alright. I could be your sister. I always get diarrhea of the mouth, so to say. The one value they would disapprove of. My parents are amazed at the changes that have happened over the past almost 90 years in regards to morals, normal behavior and what is accepted today. I think television and social media have had a profound effect on that. Whether it's a good or bad thing is up to the individual.
Hi my twin
My parents were well before the silent generation, however I was from that generation. I was born in 1939. I too am never late....however I wish I had your dad's "get up and go" when it come to getting things done. I do take care of paying bills on time and other business related things, but decluttering, vacuuming, etc. that tends to be Tomorrow is good enough for me. LOL. Y'all have a Blessed day.
I love you dear
Oh Margaret- you made me smile today. Yesterday was physically rough for me which put me in a down mindset. I said “tomorrow’s another day” and here we are- both ok without all the doing!😁
I love this series..mom and dad were born in the twenties...each of them grew up very very poor in depression and post depression
My parents were from the silent generation as well, and, like you, I was outspoken and went against the grain. They were very loving but controlling . That being said, my teenage years were quite a nightmare. I married early. (age 21), partially because I wanted to live my own life and for all of us to have PEACE. Im 63 yrs old, and it hasn't been an easy road(or marriage), but I suppose it was the best decision I could have made at the time.
I married at 29
Dawn, My parents were exactly like yours, kind but by the book. Worked out for all us kids. They never asked us to do anything without working right beside us. Wonderful parents. Great life. Bless you Dawn, we love 💕 you just the way you are!! You are the best!! Love 💕 from Debbie 🙋🧑🦽 and Dexter-Dog 🐕🐾 my sweet tiny rescued Chihuahua 🐕🐾 companion living 🏠🌴 a quiet crafty life 🏠🌵 in southern California.🙏🙏
My father was born in 32 and my mom was born in 34 and they were the same way. They are both gone now and I miss them terribly but at least I know that they brought me up right
They sound lovely
Both my parents were born in the Silent Generation but my dad was different. He talked a lot. 😂. But they were definitely similar with the getting up early everyday and being early when we were going somewhere. My dad’s basic theory was “on time” is actually “late”. 😂
My parents were both born in 1926. My husband was born & raised in Greece until age 16, to this day,he will say to me," why didn't you ask her what he salary/ financial situation, or any other personal question?" I constantly tell him" it's none of my business " He disagrees & says " if you ask,maybe can help"
I just can't ask such personal questions!!!
I love Greek food
@@CentsibleLivingWithMoneyMom me too!
My dad always said arrive 15 minutes early! Dress your best for a job interview even if the job doesn't require it. Dawn, I can tell you love & respect your Father. He brought you up with great values. Even though my Father has passed 25 yrs ago, I still remember him with love & respect. He was also the one everyone came to for help-to borrow a tool and my Father ended up fixing it. He called himself the "Jack of All Trades"! We were also told not to talk about politics or religion but that topic always came up and believe me it was no longer silent! When are you having children was never a topic with my Father..he was quite Liberal for his time but my brothers on the other hand.
Did we have the same Dad?
I'm starting to think so! 😄Couple more for you...when visiting, never open someone's fridge, sit quietly on the couch, and always bring something when visiting. I still do that today-some good habits are hard to break!
My dad was born in 1925 and my mom in 1932. Neither graduated from high school. Probably they were raised in poverty as their parents were farmers who rented farms until they were 60ish. Then with the help of aunts and uncles they were able to buy their own farm. They were hard workers, took care of their families and were pretty self-sustaining.My dad didn't get passed elementary school but was a smart man. He move up in the cotton mill to a supervisor position.He was determined his 3 children would graduate from college and we did.
Both my husband and I are from the later part of the silent generation. My brother and sister are boomers and his siblings were from the mid 1930s. 3 of his brothers fought in WWII and all served in the military. None of his 7 siblings had a HS diploma but they all did extremely well for themselves. 4 brothers worked full time jobs and ran businesses on the side. One of his brothers owned 8 houses that he rented and worked for the water company, another ran an auto garage and rented U Hauls, a third owned a construction company, and a 4th owned 13 dry cleaning establishments and worked for the water company. Both brothers who worked for the water company started out as manual ditch diggers with one going into management, and the other promoted to running the main water plant. One sister-in-law started out as a book keeper for a major company and ended up being the comptroller with no more than a HS diploma. All of his brothers would give you the shirt off their backs if you needed it, though none were particularly religious. Everyone is gone now except for me, one of his brothers, and my sister.
You pretty much hit the nail on the head. We were very frugal and did everything ourselves. My parents always were preaching about not talking about politics or religion. You never asked how much someone made or what things cost. I guess my husband was a rebel because he was always asking people how much they paid for things. We did get involved in politics during the Vietnam War, but were opposed to the hippy generation, free love, burning draft cards and burning bras. I remember being in first grade and going around saying "I Like Ike". I asked my parents who they voted for and remember them saying Stevenson. That was the only time they gave me some inclination that they might be Democrats. They also loved Truman. When I was in HS I went to a Kennedy rally and bought a large Kennedy button. If I had been old enough I would have voted for him.
As far as being on time that was not me. My husband would always get peeved at me because he did not want to be late. For me being early meant that I was wasting time. Actually we did not fit in. Everyone liked to say that my husband marched to the tune of a different drummer. We never felt the need to "be like the Joneses". I rebelled against the double standard and feeling pressured to dress, think, and act like a "lady". My grandmother would tell me to stop swinging upside down on the monkey bars. Dad would tell me that I had to let the boys win at games. My brother was allowed to do and have things that I was not allowed because he was a boy. In HS we played half court girl's basketball because girls couldn't run like boys. Even in college I was discouraged from fields that I really would have liked because I was told it was not something for women. When I did get my degree and was qualified for a job I was told straight out that he would not hire a woman for the job. I was going to be me and if someone didn't like it, tough. I raised my daughter to be assertive and to know her own mind. She takes no nonsense from anyone.
Both my parents are from the silent generation. I was born in 1966...great parents but it was my way or the highway...dad was a cop lol
I too like to mind my own business , unless someone asks me for my opinion. Lol
Same!!!
Yesterday my Uncle Reed Perilloux died at 100. Please take time to look up his name for the wonderful article of his life written by Grant Parish (Louisiana). He was an American Hero; two purple heros.
@@charlenebordelon4858 yes of course I will, that is amazing !
You couldn't argue with my dad. His word was law and he felt that he was always right! Till I turned into a teen and I was the only daughter of 4 who could argue with him. I drove him nuts! Still do , he'll be 99 years old in october!
Happy Birthday to your dad
My parents aren’t like this at all. They are careful with money though. More of this may have to do with culture rather than generational. My parents have always been active in politics. I knew what political parties my grandparents belonged to as well. My parents have always been fully transparent with their money as have I. My grandparents too. My ancestors go back several generations in the US so no cultural connections with other countries in the last 200 years or more.
Okay, none of my grandparents were born here
My parents were born in this generation, too! My mom was so sweet, soft-spoken, and didn’t make waves or complain . My dad is very outgoing and talkative but set in his ways. I love them both! We tended to be late to things because we lived on a farm. I make sure I am always early. My dad was born in 1934 and is now 90. My mom was born in 1945 and only made it to 63 after passing away. 11 year age difference. Very hardworking and frugal which you have to be living on a farm, and they both grew up on farms.
My parents where from this generation my mom is stern and my Dad us gentle instead....my Mom turned 75 years old last month and my Dad is a little older then her....I think a few years older...😊😊😊
My Mama was from this generation,my Daddy was born in 1015, and I was born in the early 60's. My Mama didn't ask questions,nor my Daddy. Both were raised during the Depression Era. They both helped others.
Meant to type 1915 for the year Daddy was born.
My parents were born in 32 & 33 both were hard working and were strict with my brothers and I. There was none of this mamby-pamby style of child rearing used today 😂
My mom was born in /24.... us kids used to say she was so cheap that she could squeeze a nickel and make the queen sing. I found out later into my teens that mom used to have all the clocks set forward by 10 minutes. That was to make sure we were never late for anything. Dad was born in /27, and believed that children were to be seen and not heard. He was a marine and we were his little battalion.
Dad was born 1925 passed on mum was born 1944 nana was born 1917 she has passed
The generations after this particular generation has relaxed some, which is good in some ways but not others. They seemed to be strict & by the book.
My mom was born during the "Silent Generation" period, but she's not silent! 😂 She's also never on time! 🤣 If she's not ready to go, we're not getting her to move!!!
My mom… 1933… procrastinated in almost everything. We were late to everything. To the point where I said to her, you’ll be late to your own funeral. And she was. She passed away in Mi at my parents vacation home… and she was sent back to Illinois where my parents lived for the last 50 years and she was buried there. But the funeral had to be planned a few days later than what we wanted to do because of the logistics of sending her 9 hours down the highway. Lol. I laugh now about it. But, it’s perfect considering how late she was to everything.
He he
I grew up that way!
I was raised by Silent generation parents. And I am a very late Baby -Bloomer- ....err, Boomer! 😜
Hi there
I truly enjoyed your video, Dawn. I was raised by my aunt and uncle who were both born in 1922 and they had a lot in common with the silent generation.
Wonderful! Love ❤️ your comment
My parents were from this generation and my mom wouldn't even tell my dad who she voted for in the election booth. :)
Same with my parents
Oh wow. Well both my parents were of the same political party. So they knew.
I was raised by marine drill instructors.
If you are fifteen minutes early, you're late.
We always got where we needed to be at least a good hour early
Wow
OH yes, that is me. war baby i am not silent though but very self sufficent.
I am not silent myself
My father was a great depression baby, he was born in 1035 and my mother was a baby boomer, she was born in 1945. I could not have survived in your house. Withy medical problems, I need plenty of sleep and when I am able to sleep doesn't know time. It just knows it can sleep ...lol..
Sorry for anyis spellings.
♥️♥️♥️.
Your dad was born in 1035 ? Lol
I know, it was a typo. It was just funny to read 😊
Now those were the good old days - mind your own business 🙂
No my parents had a lot to say no silent at my house my dad was a little quiet not much 😮
You and I are so much alike Dawn. We’re both born in 1965… and I was also adopted.
Yep, we never asked questions. The one I learned the hard way was going up to a lady who looked to be 7-8 months pregnant and I asked when she was due ! She said “I’m not pregnant”. Oh, I wanted to stick my foot in my mouth. So, I never ask. I don’t care if they’re wearing a shirt with something that says baby on it. I won’t ask. Should’ve listened to my mom. Lol.
I remember we all ate supper together and my brother and I had to ask if we could be “excused” from the table.
My dad is 100% Swedish. Never stern, but also never cried. My grandpa also 100% Swedish WAS very stern. I don’t think wether someone is stern or not has anything to do with what ancestry/country they came from.
My parents both born in 1933
We may be related
My mom was born in 1949.
Her sister and two brothers also born around then
I don't know how my dad really was I didn't spend time (wasn't raised) with him. He was a drinker when I was a child but gave it up as he got older. My mom was a stay at home mom but wasn't an "involved" parent. She kept the house and us kids clean and enjoyed puzzles and going out with friends. She was raised frugal and so me and my siblings were raised frugal. (I say poor), I don't really know which.
My mom loved puzzles
We gen x were all brought up by these people.....nothing silent about British parents! They were into everyone's business.?
I love it
My parents are silent generation. My my parents were big on class. if my mother didn’t like something she would say it’s low class. My mother never did a budget. She grew up poor I grew up having everything, every Sunday dinner was these big elaborate meals. My mother was not frugal. My mother grew up that way and she did not want us to live like that. Which is funny now because my siblings and I are all frugal. Lol . Also, my mother, silent generation never watched any of her grandchildren . I also have friends whose parents were the silent generation and they also never had any help from their parents. It seems to me at least what I’m experienced that the silent generation had nothing to do with their grandchildren.. 🤷🏻♀️
