Anyone else noticing this?
They are so out with the times. half the time they think they are arguing the same point to me but I catch them and realize they both mean to completely opposite things.
They kept asking me if i could throw out my computer in my old room. I kept telling them there is no computer in my old room. After a 30 mins yell fest i found out they meant an old tv stand.....wtf!?
lets say I try to share something happening in my life....lets just say i dont make it passed the second sentence without them putting in their 2 cents how I am doing it wrong. At this point going to see them is a fuckin chore. Every now and again it hits me that I have limited time with them as they are getting much older and get the urge to spend some time with them, but trying to spend more than small talk with them is a fuckin circus. please dont tell me this is what I have to look forward to growing older?

Both of my parents are dead.

i guess mine arent that bad

that was very batman of you

Lololol.

[confession bear meme] Old ppl are crazy and that goes double for parents. It might be a cliche but that doesn't make it any less true. [/confession bear meme]

I can relate with the first part (I'm actually at their place tonight to help with a few chores tomorrow morning), but I haven't had that much of a problem with communication... But that's because I eventually got used to it.

Being raised in a rather Italian family, being interrupted mid-sentence has never really irked me because my parents have always done it and, yeah, it's much more common now, but I'm the same so it sort of works. They interrupt me, halfway through the misunderstanding I interrupt them back, and communication is pretty much a miracle. It took an awful lot for my wife to catch up with the dynamic, but she's used to it now

Maybe you left home early and you're still a bit out of sync? Or even more out of sync after the years?

My parents are tattooed metalheads. I think I'm actually more out of touch than they are.

Not really. Mine are 70 and 75 and lately it's getting easier.
Well maybe it's a little harder as my mom's hearing became less though Also she still doesn't get after 40 years that I still don't like salmon.

It becomes easier as my dad doesn't care as much as he used too. He knows it's useless to get upset of things you can't change.
He will give his opinion but doesn't push as hard as he used to. Now he'll say quicker, "Do what you want", if his opinion is different from mine.

I always had a better relation with my parents as my sister. Probably because she's more like my dad and I'm more like my mom
The problem my sister, but also uncles, cousins and others had with my dad were that if they ask him for advise or he gave his opinion on something, they mostly didn't get to hear what they wanted to hear. That resulted into tension as they were looking for a confirmation, but they also knew that in the end my dad 95 of 100 times was right. That did take many years though and my sister meanwhile knows too.

Easier for me as I get older... especially since my Dad got online years ago and then got hooked on Facebook. He better understands TA, memes and other random shit. It makes up for 20+ years of giving me shit for always being on the computer, lol

This was a convo about thanksgiving I had with my mom tonight.

Me: My sister has an Argentine roommate who has no place to go. So I ask her if she would mind if she came.
My mom: Why don't you have Thanksgiving at your house?
Me: If that would make things easier I wouldn't mind hosting.
My mom: How come you don't have Thanksgiving at your girlfriend?
Me: realizing my mom is trying to start an argument with me I drop the convo.

Subway. Eat fresh.
