Is there anyone in your life five or more years younger than you, who you regularly seek (or take) advice from?

Not particularly, but if they said something that made sense I'd listen.

I depends. The big thing would be that I wouldn't readily take parenting advice from someone five years younger that is childless.

Hell no! I have enough trouble listening to psychobabble from people older than me, much less an acne-ridden teenager.

I have not problem with that at all. A young person may have some experience I never had when I was young. We do not live exact parallel lives so they can possibly offer an experience I never had. To me it means I have to be humble and realize I do not know everything.
You have a great day.

It depends on their maturity level and life experience. My sister is six years younger than me, married and has a child; I'll listen to her advice because she has life experience. If this person hasn't experienced the peaks and milestones I have, and seems callow in their mindset, then I may have a hard time listening to their perspective.

I can, especially about something to do with technology.
