Bruce kept waking up last night because my mom gave him cereal, without getting my permission, of course. So I brought it up as a possibility, and does she apologize? Hahaha, who do you think we're talking about? No, she busted out her "solve all your problems" voice and said that "I think we should cut dairy out of his diet, and so you need to do this and this."

I WAS UP AT MIDNIGHT, ONE, TWO AND FOUR AND YOU DON'T HAVE THE DECENCY TO ADMIT IT'S YOUR FAULT. YOU. SUCK.

I know with your mum nothing is the right thing to say, but it sounds like you talked around the issue instead of just saying it?

*hugs*

When do you hear back from that job that interviewed you?

Also, I think I'm gonna have to change Yzma. She freaks me out a little every time I post. :P

If I'd said it was her fault, she'd still be lecturing me. And she'd probably have found something to cry about, so she'd be on the verge of tears to try and make me feel guilty for bringing it up. She gets to pretend she's perfect because the cost of telling her otherwise is too high.

Gah. Sorry I'm so bitter today. Didn't sleep for the second night in a row and now the person responsible is acting like its my fault.

They said they planned to let candidates know within the next week or so.

Her pretending to be perfect has nothing to do with what you do or don't say. She's not open to hearing any other possibility regardless. It's not your fault or your ptoblem, it's just a thing you have to live with for a little longer. Which might not be that long at all if/when you get this job, or can move in with your brother.

Hope you get enough sleep.

*hug*

Hearing old people complain about Millennials makes me wonder if there's a trillion year-old supercivilization somewhere out in the Milky Way that complains about humans and other young races, calling us "Eonics" and accusing us of ruining the galaxy.

I was at a social gathering recently (surprising, I know), in which the adults, bar one, were actually praising our generation. It was wonderfully refreshing.

I don't feel like descending into the comments;

That's my main beef with the

"You're on technology too much! You never go outside! You don't speak to your friends!" People.

I was never allowed to play outside on my own. I didn't know any kids who lived near me. There are a zillion safety restrictions so you can't have a treehouse or a tyre swing or anything else fun my parents and grandparents talk about. Friends *are* online.

The world changed, and we get blamed for having grown up in this world.

People complain that children these days are on screens too much. I might agree with them, but tech skills are also likely to be the future. No one knows how to farm anymore because we don't need it, and we're functioning quite well thank you very much. So forgive me if I don't mourn the fact that no one can write a letter anymore.

(I mean, romantic letter value. Aside from that).

You know?

/pet peeve rant

Edit: Twi it was someone's else's family lunch I was invited to. They were saying the "kids these days" are very polite and super loyal to their friends and their country. And one person at the table was disputing this, the others were arguing against her. Adults all. It was amazing.

There are a couple reasons why the elderly grouse about the young:

 

1) We don't do things like they did in the old days. Nothing wrong with that, we are our own selfs and will be different. The fact that there is some overlap in experience does not mean there is overlap in ALL or MOST experiences. In fact, if as an elderly you fail to take into account changes, you probably won't be able to apply your experiences properly to what the young are going through.

 

2) We point out that what some of the things they thought were "good" or "ideal" are neither.

What strikes me as the really new thing about this generation is the young not liking the young.

 

Ugh, I forgot about that. That might have even started with my generation, I remember friends of mine right out of high school would complain about how "teenagers these days show no respect!"

 

After they said that, I figured the best way to respond would be to say, "Shut your whore mouth". That was a common saying back in my day, I may try to bring it back.

Not liking people your own age isn't something specific to our generation, though. Its always gone on. Its just easier to hurt people now with the internet.
