Aaaah family, the ultimate clusterfuck of emotions...
What do you do when you openly talk with your parents about their absence in your life and in the life of their grandchild when all they do is shake their head and raise their shoulders saying: "When? I`m too tired, there is not enough time."?
Time...
I see that my dads`plan is to work until death, he`ll be 65 in a month, already on pension but still working because money never seems to be enough.
He wont admit it. At this point I think that he`s waiting for that "golden" time to come, but it never will.
My mom plans to work 4 more years in a soul destroying public service job (its awful trying to deal with the public when they come almost always in a bad mood) until pension.
"You might not be alive in 4 years, this is the time to be a part of your grandsons life" - I say
"I have no other plan, what will I do without pension" - she says.
Its like an endless circle of excuses.
Any attempt I make to reach out to them gets shut down with either "I`m too tired" or "There is no time"
"We have no ideas. How do you come up with business ideas?" - they ask me.
"I dont know, I try I fail, read books, listen to people complaining about their problems.."
when my mom interupts "I hear people complaing all day, ALL DAY, when I finish for the day I dont want to talk with anyone, let alone listen to more problem, I hate people"
I might be in the wrong here, but I see this often, not just in my parents.
No, I havent unscripted yet, but I feel like my mind is free and I SEE.
So many elderly people are bitter, tired and hate other people, their job, their day to day.
Robbed of energy and time.
So much so, that they can barely muster the will to be a part of their family.
Some advice, a pick me up, funny video or dank meme would be appreciated.
