My family IS my family and I don’t.
Correct. I give a 2 minute chat with Mom on: her bday, Mother’s Day, and Christmas. That’s it. Not sure how many more. She’s 87.
I don’t speak with my 3 older siblings. I’ll be forced to speak with my sister that lives with my Mom when it comes time to spread Mother’s ashes. If, she let’s me know.
I don’t talk to a lot of people, but there’s no reason I’d specifically avoid them. I lucked out, and they’re pretty cool people.
More to the point, my family are the people who shaped who I am in both nature and nurture. If they weren’t my family, I would not be me.
My mom and sister - Yes, they cool
My dad - He trolls liberals as a pass time and is effectively a MAGAt. No
You should troll your dad. I don’t know if they sell these, but you should see if you can find a “Make Harris Great Again” hat. All red, with white text, in that same font.
Then take his MAGA hat, and in the place he put it, you place this one. See how long he takes wearing it before he figures it out.
No MAGA hat. Canadian
Which makes his support for the GoP even more ridiculous. Also makes me wonder where the fuck he’s getting Fox News since it’s NOT easy to get in Canada, ESPECIALLY before streaming and broadband
Your father is a weird man. Obsessed with politics of a country that he’s not a part of, in support of a man who wouldn’t piss on him if he were on fire. And now he’s going out of his way to reach a “news network” (airquotes doing some heavy lifting on that one) that only spews a facist agenda.
Now, in contrast, I would say 100% of Americans have NO IDEA who’s even running for president in Canada, or Mexico. Like…those thoughts are so far from what my brain thinks of, it’s insane. Last night I was wondering which would happen first: A snail traverses an entire city, or a gallon of water evaporates in mild tempatures.
THAT thought crossed my mind long before thinking of Canadian politics. Sorry Canada, you’re a great country, and I wish I lived there instead of here, but your money is monopoly colored, and your politics are irrelevant on the world stage.
If my family weren’t my family, they wouldn’t talk to me…
That’s what I would say too. I love my family and they love me, but I think had we not been related they wouldn’t choose to be around me. They are rather boring people and their favorite thing to do is sit at home and do nothing. I like to do stuff and try new things. They don’t.
I barely talk to them now.
