How to talk to your parents

[freeringo]

This has been on my mind for weeks now and it is time to get it out.
I can't figure out anything to talk to my parents about anymore.

The last time I visited with them went like this.

Hey I won $200 playing poker last weekend
When are you going to find a job I'm 49 christ sakes

My dog is really a good boy isn't he.
You focus to much on your dog

Mary got real good grades in school
That girl can't even tell time on a real clock and she can't use a broom.

then my Dad says on the last 2 hours of our visit.

I noticed you didn't say anything about Sarah Palin
So I put in my 2 cents worth saying I thought she was a whack job
and he gets all mad and tells me to shut up.

As we are leaving, the news was about Michael Jacksons death
and they turn off the TV and start ranting about why does the media
glorify a pediPhile.

BY the way, the whole time my dad had control of the TV I had to watch the home Improvement channel.
I was bad mouthed earlier for commenting on how funny a 1950's movie that I watched in the morning.


I now have another visit coming up and I can't think of anything to talk about with my parents.

Very very sad.

I try so hard to be positive around them

But my last visit I called my dad an asshole

fun stuff

You would think that people in their 70's would be more happy and positive.

They are great parents and have big hearts but they are so FN stuffy and narrow minded.

PS they hate OBAMA
What's to hate?
He has the toughest job in the world and he is being honest with Americans and the world while spreading good will.

What more can we ask for.

I am dreading my visit because my best approach right now is to just keep my mouth shut and be a nice guy.

I sure don't want to teach an old dog new tricks
I'll get bit
