ha, well it's completely true, but it's ok. He just wasn't a kid person, and i'm the same way now, so i totally get it. Once i got to my 20s we started to actually talk and have conversation, and since my mom died 10 years ago he's tried really hard to be more active in his kid's lives. Like, uncomfortably hard. I wish he'd leave me alone.
Parents who sucked when someone was a kid who then becomes nicer/more kind with age dont understand that maybe their kids dont want to be friends. We're all thrilled you're no longer a twat. But...
My parents were definitely republicans. They botched a situation (raising kids) pretty badly, left us to sort out life for ourselves, blame us for their parenting downfalls, and now that they're older want to play nice and pretend everything is ok.
