Never got in trouble growing up, no real issues with parents....just realized recently that my parents are insufferable people, and if I ever had kids I wouldn't want the "grandparents" to play a major role.
I'm 28 now - lower to middle class upbringing....parents were stingy AF (lived in Texas, but AC usage forbidden...gas heating was allowed for holidays like Christmas...when I was 16 I had to get a job... buy my own car, pay my way through college...etc....not bitching, and I hate spoiled cunts, I'm just telling you how it was.... Parents let me live at home until 20 however, and I was "lucky" to be only charged $350 in rent while paying for my own college, insurance, etc....(they will bring this up whenever they get the chance)...
Flash forward to yesterday. I live out of state - haven't seen parents in four months, Dad's Bday was last week ... in town so I decide to cook them a dinner... Buy a couple nice steaks, potatoes, etc - figure I'll use the old man's BBQ....
"You're gunna use the grill? ok but I just cleaned it three days ago. Remember when you didn't clean the grill and it almost caught fire? (happened in 2004).... "I know you were 15 then and grill all the time now, I'm just saying OP, don't start making a mess if you can't clean it up"...
10 mins later, Mom comes out "Your Dad and I like to eat at 5:30... if it's gunna be later than 5:45ish could you tinfoil our plates, we're watching "Godless" on Netflix.... Yes I know Netflix isn't live TV - but if you're going to come over and tampering in people's kitchens, at least be mindful of their schedules..."
I've reached the age where I don't even try to argue anymore? Even in adulthood, everything is a lecture or a complaint....so I just wrapped their food up in tinfoil, put it in the fridge, and left...
Yah I'll be sad when they're no longer around, but what is the point in making the effort to have people constantly in your life if they add nothing positive? See you at Christmas, folks.
