People love complaining, right? Complain about everything (life, health, bad luck, random shit etc)

Being a grandparent is like taking a friend's dog for a walk. All the fun of owning a dog with none of the parts that take effort.

It’s like that for the good kind of grandparents maybe. Like I said, my kids have the honor of having grandparents you don’t even wanna be in their lives outside of being able to brag that they are grandparents. Fuck knows if I needed any help with the kids they wouldn’t lift a damn finger to actually help

[Old Black Man]

I did not imagine you having kids, not saying that in a bad way. Just surprised.

[Kama]

The only thing holding me back from ever saying it was because I know some of those ex SoK goons that still talk shit about me behind my back monitor what I say here, but I have a feeling they know anyways. Also with the farms people monitoring this place too you never know what people like that are capable of, so I did a pretty damn good job of hiding it for the last five years.

Maybe I’m just getting tired of hiding it I mean, why should I have to just because there’s a lot of shitty people online?

And no, I’m not gonna teach or show any of my “bad racist behavior” or whatever libtards would claim I am in front of the kids either. Despite what they might say, parents aren’t going around, teaching their kids to use the hard R. All I can do is try to show them all the good stuff in life since this world is so full of evil right now. Can’t say I don’t worry about the future that they are going to grow up in., but all I can really do is do my best you know? I mean the world was already fucked up enough for me when I got out of college and that was right at the start of everything going all social justice and “woke” culture I can’t even imagine how worse is going to be 20 years from now. Still unlike me at least my kids have parents who will love them no matter what.

[Old Black Man]

That’s good of you man, I think your kids are gonna turn out alright.

[Kama]

I’m doing my best, but for sure some days I wish their grandparents were at least a little bit helpful so that I could get a breather I’m with them 24/7 so I don’t really get a break much less time to myself. But I really do put my all into my kids every day.. I’m not lying. It’s a lot of work..

It also just raised an interesting point too because when we were kids, our grandparents were actually in our lives probably even more than our parents were. Hell I was a latchkey kid at three years old.. but now we are having our own kids and the same parents. We had that man we respect them and all that shit despite never being around for us, just want grandkids so that they can treat them like toys, but don’t actually want to do any of the help in caring for them. So. Kugel’s parents being so demanding about wanting grandkids is hilarious because I’m sure even he knows he ain’t gonna do shit if he has them.. even more so after the first year when they are no longer cute potato babies

Everybody deals with bullshit. Some deal with more than their fair share. All you can do is your best and it sounds like you've had more than your fair share of bullshit. Be the parent you wished you had instead of the one you did have. But I'm not telling you shit you don't already know.

I don't think any of my grandparents were really "there" for me when our family really needed something. Apparently they made it super clear to my mother when we were young that they were NOT babysitters and they refused to be used as such. So that's nice.

My grandparents on the other side of the family did hang out with us kids more but they needed stuff from us more than they did things for us. I mean, shit ain't always transactional but we were always giving what little we had to grasping fuckers. It pissed me off and I never would have agreed had I been the one in charge.

All my relatives were kinda shitty and I realized that when I became an adult. Once I had formed my own moral philosophy and encountered kind strangers out in the real world (people with their own moral codes,) I understood how deficient my own family members were. It's one thing to talk about doing what's right but another entirely to do what's right even when it is inconvenient to you or downright detrimental to your happiness. I know what's "right" is somewhat relative but there are pretty obvious cases of fucking people over to get ahead that you don't need to consult a goddamn philosopher to figure out. "Fuck you I got mine" is sadly the order of the day for most people.

[Kama]

As for my grandparents, I wouldn’t say they were there since they didn’t really monitor me when I was outside or anything. The rule was basically get home before dark., but even so at least to my mom my grandparents were an option if I couldn’t be home alone or whatever, and they were at least in my life.

Maybe it’s not true for everyone, but I do notice that the parents of people, my age don’t really want that kind of responsibility. Fuck knows they didn’t wanna raise their own kids. So outside of getting the bragging rights of being grandparents and the love and attention they would get from the grandkids they don’t actually wanna. do anything that takes effort.

Or like I said, they show absolute favoritism like I said my kids mother is in their lives too so we are around her parents.. getting her to watch the kids for a few hours is like pulling teeth or like you really have to twist her arm to do it claiming she’s too tired, but then in the same breath, she’ll go and watch the kid of my kids mother’s older brother when he and his wife go and fuck off for like two months in Japan, Mexico, and Colorado without any complaining at all.. it’s that kind of bullshit where you can’t even have a couples night out

[Kugelfisch]

I neither have nor will ever have children. But I like to imagine they would be more racist than I am.
Well, the boy at least. Girls are retarded and rebellious in the dumbest way, so she should at least know that unlike Tony Soprano I'm not just making empty threats and would bury them both if she ever came home with a less-than-white guy.

But that's just cozy thoughts for stargazing nights. I won't have children as I want to vanish into absolute nothingness, leaving nothing behind.
I want no fucker that didn't know me to "remember" me or a legacy of any kind.
I shall perish in the good knowledge that humankind is stuck here forever and will be cleansed by the sun at the latest. Forever erased from existence.

I won't have some dipshit have my name three generations onward being an absolute faggot. I carry my lineage to the grave on a high note.

A couple years ago, my doctor retired. So I decided to switch to a doctor's office closer to where I live. My new doctor is a young Hispanic guy. He seems OK and I have no complaints.

But on the wall right next to the reception desk they have a giant Pride flag displayed. And it's the latest updated wokest one.


It really creeps me out. This is supposed to be a Catholic organization. There is one of those full-on Jesus-on-the-cross crucifixes on the wall near the entrance. I don't get it.
