[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Are you my sister? Because today I told my sister my thoughts on something she was doing with her house and she’s gone silent. If it’s you then I say grow up. Our family talks. A LOT. All of the time. So stop thinking of it as a lecture and think of it as me giving my opinion. I welcome yours always and you frequently give it.  As does every other member of the family on the group chat.  That’s who we are and you can silence the notifications or block us. But you won’t and neither will we when you go off on something. [/quote]

Interesting how you view it as others "going off on something' and not yourself, when you give unsolicited opinions.[/quote]

Hmm.... now I’m wondering if this really is you. If it is, then my “lecture” was directed at how your actions are involving our parents and they can no longer do this type of work in their current health. You still act like a child and expect them to drop everything to run and help you. They are elderly and we should be helping them because they are not well. Open your eyes.  They are not the strong parents you remember from 30 years ago and now they need our help. Mom was exhausted last night and is downright frail.  So yes. I will continue to lecture you when you expect the world to stop what they are doing to physically help you. [/quote]

Every family has that one self-appointed boss, who's taken it upon themselves (w/o anyone asking them) to intervene in the affairs of other adults. Almost certainly as a distraction from issues in their own lives.

Congratulations pp, that person is you.

And what's "right" or "wrong" is irrelevant. It's not your place to meddle in the issues of other adults, family or not (provided they are not directly impacting you).[/quote]
