I only text my brother and I'll call my grandmother once or twice a week. That's literally the only time I pick up my phone. Its old school flip kind. Everyone finds this odd or asks why don't you have facebook but I've found this way of living is the way I want to live.
I value my independence so much and the ability to do whatever the hell I want. Several years ago, I listened to everyone about what I should be doing with MY life. After two years of listening to everyone and never actually making my own decision, I ended up being 3 grand in debt and in a slump. I was literally depressed at times because I wasn't doing anything that made me happy. I've since changed that and I couldn't be happier.
I'm glad you are living your own life PeteRose :) Everyone needs to.
-bows- WHILE STILL HOLDING ON TO THE PLATES.
the approach has a lot to do with it. that's how it works with me, i'm usually told in the most disapproving of tones, you shouldn't do that, you SHOULD be doing this because its what I did and I know what is best because I am older and have more life experience.
How do you deal with it? Do you just brush her off?
and i'm not tired at all. :)
Balancing plates and getting so many tips. I do my job so very well :P
How far away did you move from them? No contact with them now?
I don't view anything in this thread as unsolicited. Its been interesting to know I'm not the only one dealing with this! I love the distraction technique. I am going to try this next time I speak to her, thank you so much. She's into plants heavy so I'll ask her how to do something in that area. You are a lifesaver. :D
I've never seen that, have to check that out one day. :) Cocktail is a good movie when you are in the mood for a comedy/rom/drama.
A. Madness. I refuse to do that with my daughter. I will take the if you need or want my opinion, I'm here approach.
B. I'm 18 months older than my brother. We have a great relationship now, something I never thought would happen based on our childhood. I never want to lose that with him so I do my best to keep my opinions to myself.
C. Thanks for that. :) My priorities are very different from hers.
side note: unsolicited advice is such a pet peeve of mine.
Minority Report was great, I saw it several months ago for the first time and loved it. Cocktail, Jerry Maguire, Edge of Tomorrow, Mission Impossible - he's awesome in those too.
watched this tonight, i assumed he choked him out or killed him.
that broke my heart. :( i want her GONE.
i hate useless stupid characters.
Awesome writing on this show, 10/10. I bet you'll enjoy it :)
aww, that is cute! :)
takes a lot to offend me croft, i'm just teasing you a bit. you worship the hell out of milla! she was a neat character in my favorite movie of all time.
yes, those.
haha, that was too funny. i had you pegged for early 20s because of the way you are on MC. yeah same here with my grandmother. she's close to 80 so i realize she's in her own little world back in southern tx in 1955 but i refuse to listen to some bs that i don't believe in.
that's terrible! a lot of people might not agree with me but if my grandmother starts to say something about my life and how i'm living it, i shut it down so quick. i'm like that's cool, don't wanna hear it.
dear god..
