[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Your parents sound pretty great. I think your expectations may be too high - they don't need to be fascinating conversationalists. They're not your social outlet, or they shouldn't be. It's OK to listen to them describe a book they liked but you wouldn't read, and then tell them what you read, and move on. [/quote] This. I wouldn’t choose to be friends with my parents. We have little in common as people, but we have a shared history and on the whole they were great parents. They’re both in their 80s and I think much of my annoyance comes from characteristics of them being old and I hold myself to account on that front - I will one day be old and ramble about stuff too - how do I want my children to treat me? With grace and kindness. [/quote]
