He only paid bills.

If he wasn’t screaming at us for not cleaning, he was not interacting with us.

I truly don’t think my dad knows any of us.

He still calls us by the wrong names.

“‘Young people have no pride left.

Why do they think its okay to still live with their parents at 20?’

Because theres a rental crisis and a housing crisis, partially because retired people keep buying second homes.”

Why older people dont understand this concept is beyond me.”

I was like, ‘starter homes that need fixing up in LA are like $1.2M starting.’
