Christina describes her parents lavishly praising her sisters while introducing her brother Tommy as simply 'he's nice,' and Tim shares his mother's blunt admission she wanted another child and blamed his father for denying her.
- Boomers were raised by people born around 1910 with no emotional skill set, essentially like dogs.
- Boomers have an interesting victimhood complex and are always aggrieved about something.
- Tim's father would tell him things like 'never overestimate your value' and 'what you do someone else will do too' while driving.
- When his parents introduced their three children to people, they'd describe his older sister as an A-student and great athlete, his younger sister as adorable and sweet, and then just say Tim was nice.
- Tim's mother called him in to say she always wanted another child and wasn't sure the marriage would work because his father didn't give her one.
- Parents should be criticized from a valid place, but people are not one-dimensional—his mother was both a horrible person and a great person.
- His mother was a swim coach who taught him to swim a mile in the bay at age six and trained neighborhood kids at 5 a.m.
- His mother was committed to his acting career from age seven until he was about twelve.
