Things that your parents do that annoy you!

First I want to say, I love my mum, she's great BUT ..... She won't stop feeding my dog.

Every morning I drop my daughter & dog at my parents. Dad is retired & mum works part time. They take my daughter to school & pick her up (very greatful), and I figured the dog would prefer spending the day with my parents to being alone. This has been going on for 2.5 years.

Last week I found a photo of the dog before my dad retired & did the school run. The dog was so slim! I hadn't realised how fat he was.

I asked my mum to please stop feeding him, as he gets dry food & bones at our home & that's enough.

Since last week my daughter told me that my mum has continued to give him rice bubbles for breakfast (her reason: they bonded over food), she gave him a huge pile of roast lamb on Sunday (her reason: he deserved a treat after his dieting during the week), Monday: spaghetti bolognese (her reason: he really wanted a taste), tonight: taco beef (her reason: he wont love her if she stops feeding him).

I said (crossly) that the dog will never lose weight if she keeps feeding him & he'll remain fat - her answer (quote) "he's not fat, he's just cuddly".

He's fat! And he's going to stay that way.

She is obsessed with feeding a fat dog!

Arghh .... I love my mum, but this is ridiculous. She spends more time feeding a fat dog, than her human family members!

Note: she also keeps buying him little sweaters, that don't fit cause he's fat, and then she says they are incorrectly sized.

Anything that affects your health, wellness, finances, living situation, etc. (whether physically or emotionally) or that is meaningful in some way, is not a “first world problem.” Why is that?

The phrase “first world problem” is used to dismiss someone’s concern. It means: “That problem only is happening because you live in the first world. It’s stupid and you shouldn’t care about it. Go try living in a third-world country and see what real problems are like instead.”

It minimizes someone’s problem. It tells them to ‘get over it.’ It tells them that they don’t really matter, and the things that bother them don’t either. It’s dismissive and it’s rude!

After grandma's treats (he's sitting in a baby stroller)

Grandma is compensating for not having another grandchild to fuss over.

Well they both smoke, or at present my dad smokes, my mom died from it or so i'm told. She always said

"i'll smoke until the day i die, and then i'll smoke some more"

They both lie about me and believe lies told about me, that can be more than annoying, it has destroyed my life with help from some some very sadistic and corrupt people you might know as the police and a judge or two.
