I’m leaning towards war or a national divorce.
“a national divorce.”
Divorce?
Oh yes, we’ll be paying the usual ‘alimony’ and ‘child support’ just as we do now supporting their sorry carcasses as we are ‘married’ to them right now. Like a working husband supporting the free-spending wife, we are essentially stuck with it while putting up with their whining and temper tantrums and constant demands, moaning about not being around the kids enough and keeping up with the Joneses. As if we aren’t toiling our guts out for them already, which should be enough.
Problem is, if we try to divorce them and make them stand on their own two feet, the high maintenance twits will fight tooth and nail, thinking that we ‘owe’ them to put up with them because of ‘all they did’ (two hundred years ago as usual) and then they’ll undermine our attempts to move on and lead a life that might actually make us happy and fulfilled. So frankly, it’s a bit of am mess. Plus they’ll want housing (40 acres and a mule) and make us pay for the maintenance.
It’ll be endless and frankly, they will keep wanting more and more and more to maintain the lavish lifestyle they feel entitled to.
