I never know what to say and I hear that kinda comment from all sorts of ppl!

Depending on the person & the relationship I have with them, plus if I think they are sincere or defensive--- I sometimes will say things like "We know more now. There are lots of things that people did many years ago that are no longer considered to be the best. That doesn't mean you did something bad, it just means you worked with the knowledge you had. I wonder what things I am doing now that in 30 years people will realize were 'not the best'? I remember riding on the floor board of the front seat of the car when I was 5-- it was the warmest spot in the car. Now we would never consider letting our kids do that, at 5 they are usually still in a seat of some kind."
