[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Lifelong learning. Sibling was worse off as they were the first child. I learned from observing that and got out as soon as I could. What p* me off now is that they're elderly and expect all kind of support. It's as if it's always been about them, all their lives. And no, I'm keeping low contact. Mom tried to re-imagine me as her "best friend" out of nowhere once dad passed and it was so out of place. [/quote]

Now in their 70s, my parents are genuinely confused because all their friends want to spend time with their adult kids and grandkids and don't have time for them. I get to hear a lot of complaining about how "Barbara can't come to bridge because her grandkids' recital is the same day. Why would she want to hear a bunch of screeching violins?" But they still don't want to spend time with their own kids, lol.

The complaining, deflecting and lame excuses!  The My way or the Highway!

Who wants to watch a kids soccer game!? Waste o time, how do you do it? Sports are so stupid.

Who wants to hear a screeching violin recital? Yuck.

Who’s wants to decorate their house for the holiday, yuck!?

Who wants to go on a beach vacation, let’s just visit and stay at the uncle’s house in six mos. Vacations are a waste of money

Weddings are such a waste, not going to that, plus they want a present a bet! Parties are so stupid. Who would we houseguest with to attend the wedding?

I don’t know what I thought about the Annapolis day trip, it was ok I guess.

Why did you buy the 6 yo that (bespoke British brand pencil case) on your London trip? I can make that myself. What a waste of money.

I don’t know what I thought about coming along on your beach trip for winter break, I havent seen the other beaches.

Yup, that’s my self centered in laws. 
They don’t open their mouths much, but when they do it’s all zingers, put downs and nonsense. [/quote]

Just think of all the money you’ll inherit from them one day![/quote]
