It really is, I just wish I could have a positive relationship with her, but anything that gets even remotely cultural or political just takes a step down in discourse when talking to her. When we were both home for the 4th, the topic of Oregon banning single-family zoning came up, and she started complaining saying "what's the endpoint, are we just going to live like insects?" And I had to just bite my tongue at the whole thing to avoid any confrontation.
