An observation about my parents...

[Deleted]

Even in the very, very rare instance that we agree on an issue I still feel like we are fighting.  They just always sound like they are arguing with me.  Like belligerent.  I love them, but they are turning into crotchety old people.

My sister and I had this same conversation. They are looking to downsize to a small home (should be assisted living but I digress) I found them some properties JUST over the border in RI. They said they would have to be madly in love with it bc then my dad would have to go to the registry and get a new license. WTF. have you ever heard such ridiculous rationale in your lie.

I am with ya jen!! PS You were my SS no? just know that Leo's room is all set up and the beautiful blanket is front and center in his crib. I actually told DH that is what he will be swaddled with on his way home.

so ... xoxoxo love you mean it. thanks again

Seriously, my dad doesn't even say hello before asking me his IT questions that I have not a fucking clue how to answer. Ad they just switched to FiOS from comcast. God give me strength

I'm 27 and I'm the crotchety old. it's working so far.

I do this to my mom sometimes just for shits and giggles.

We're on the same side on issues, and I'll throw bullshit counterarguments just to make her mad. And it works every single time.

Awww. That makes me so happy. I
I'm so glad you like it. And about the parents:  there is no reasoning with them. I just let them do their thing. They don't involve me much ( thankfully) so it's easy to take a step back.

I am slowly watching my ILs turn into crotchety old people.
My MIL posted a rant and I mean a rant on FB the other day about people knocking on the door instead of ringing the doorbell. WHHHAAAAAT? Basically UPS won't ring the doorbell and it pisses them off because they might go 30 seconds without knowing a package arrived.

I was like jesus get out of the fucking house once in awhile and find some real problems.

Also they send us pictures of the puzzles they finish and also give us weekly updates on the puzzles. Fascinating stuff

My ILs are crotchety old people. I had to hide my MIL on FB because I couldn't take anymore of her lengthy complaints.
