my dad was practical about the matter. said times are different now and there is no point in staying married just to stay married. we have no house or kids to worry about. and we might as well try to be happy.
my mom was an entirely different story. i got a lecture about how i need to grow up and stop trying to have fun all the time. apparently wanting to enjoy my life is not the appropriate life goal? i am happy (well mostly) to work a job a find rewarding so i have the money and time to do the things i enjoy. i don't have an overwhelming need to start a family and i don't see owning property as a sign of being a grown up. as the conversation continued, she started going on about how my friends have always been more important than family. i really don't see how that is relevant to the matters at hand at all. she has been bitching about the fact that i rely on my friends instead of my parents since i was in middle school. she finished by expressing the idea that my friends aren't good for me. according to her, most of them lack direction or purpose in their lives.
there was very little talk about unglued and i. or how i am doing. just a 30 minute conversation about everything i am doing wrong. and she wonders why i never bother talking to her about anything important.
