Poll: Age difference between you and SO.
I am 7 years younger than my DH. Last night, we were watching Hocus Pocus together. We were talking about growing up in the early 90's.
I think the movie came out in 1993. It was strange to think that he was in high school and that I was still probably playing with dolls.
Re: Poll: Age difference between you and SO.
BF is 7 years older than me. He was born 16 days into the 80's, so he just barely made it into my decade.
The other day we were listening to music and a very old Dr Dre song came on I didn't know and he gave me crap about it until I told him, uh dude, I was 4 when this came out.
Then I make him feel like a creep when I tell that when he was leaving secondary school, I was 10.

9 years.
I was quite sheltered - PBS for 1 hour max a day* and not that many trips to the movie theater so sometimes I think DH is more "American" than I am. I can't tell you the number of times he's been shocked that I don't know about x-series or y-movie
(*My initial teenage rebellion was hiding to watch The Simpsons. At 16 I still got yelled at: "Turn that junk off!")
Do we have the same parents?

heh, I'm so sorry to hear you suffered too! Was your Mom also an organic farmer?
There are 3 years difference between DH and I, with him being older. Not a lot of differences in experience, but he was much more into rap and hip hop than I was, so he knows a lot of songs that I don't.
Plus - I was super sheltered growing up...no MTV, no Simpsons, no songs with curse words of any sort (not even saying things like "I swear" or "He's a fool"...nope, not in our house!). Basically, my mom is cray-cray.
My mother banned MTV, the Simpsons, non-G or PG movies, she had to approve all our books, etc. We listened to mainly 1950's or Classic Country music. I was in college before I really realized that not everyone's mother was that strict. I'm still not so sure it was a crazy way to raise children.
My parents were not really strict about movies, music, or TV. I do remember my parents not letting me read Sweet Valley High books. I think I was only in the 3rd grade so I guess I dont blame them. I had a TV in my room, so I was able to watch shows like 90210.
We're headed to the Maldives on Christmas Eve!

I'm 4 1/2 years older than DH.
Differences come up when we talk about the 80s and about the internet. He had internet in high school- I did not. He never had to use a typewriter and in general he used a computer for most things.

DH is 6 months younger than me, but I am defintily the younger one. I'm a dreamer, I don't like dealing with real life most of the time. DH grounds me
.
Most of our differences in growing up are because DH grew up in Argentina and Switzerland and me in the US. Most of DH's childhood was in Patagonia hanging out on his parent's farm, miles from the next farm.
Yeah, this is us, but in the reverse!
I'm 6.5 years older than DH. I remember the Royal Wedding in 1981. His parents got married within a month of that. So I'd be old enough to remember his parent's wedding. Weird.
