I'll be damned if I submit to whats called the norm these days and stifle my own opinions for the greater good. I'm so calloused by it I even came to terms with walking away from my own 3 kids, now adults, because they stopped talking to me because I hurt their feelings... 2 I scolded in a simple text message, 1, for not showing up for work after he said he'll be there, the other, routinely blowing off the most cordial conversation attempts. and the third!?? now 26 years old and 2 years ago made a Pro Ultimate Frisbee Team. ...and as a proud dad I simply joked about “Are you actually playing or are you the water girl?”. and just recently I joked about an all male team wanting her to coach them a weekend coming up. I said, Are you actually being recruited to coach or do you got the hots for a certain player on that team? Again, feeling proud, and simply adding humor was met with total resentment for making that comment, and she brought up the water girl comment from 2 years ago!! I could not fkng believe it!!
She did 4 years in the military, an AE on the Ronald Reagan Aircft Carrier, and in her third year of College and is still that fkng sensitive, there is just no words to describe my pain in it all.
That is immediate family, and ill be damned if I put up with it from anyone else. I dont care if there is anyone besides a few squawking Crows above my casket!!
You’re gonna get your wish. How sad.

I hear you man. Just got kicked out of my daughters apartment for “triggering “ her
"Kids" (infantile, young adults) today are often soft and easily bruised, effete, narcissistic and sporting an attitude thinking the world owes them something simply because they exist. Since they were babies they've been hearing from their parents and teachers how "wonderful" they are and how they're so "special" and "important."
Back in the early 90s I went to my daughter's school to give a presentation for "Career Day." I stopped by the bathroom to take a leak beforehand. I walked over to the sink to wash my hands and there it was; a sign beside the mirror proclaiming, "You're looking at the most important person in the world! I knew right then and there that my daughter's generation was going to be in big, big trouble figuring out life. However, I have also met an equal number of young folks who are tough, hardworking, polite and have their heads screwed on tight. They're not lilting pansies who have trouble figuring out what sex they are but real young men and young women.
Unfortunately, as usual, the spoiled asshats make far more noise than the decent folks. And so, they get the attention, which does nothing but feed their narcissism. Round and round it goes.
