But no, they are obsessed with checking the news & repeating the weather
Often times when I try to discuss families with other people I get easily sad. To me, it seems like other folks have much better humans in their lives than I ever had. A lot of my best friends talk about thoroughly enjoying the time that they spend with their families each year, going to their parents for advice when they have incredible issues, & even having supportive ears when they need a financial hand, but personally, I don’t know what any of that feels like. My family isn’tso great. In fact, if I try to discuss my issues with them, somehow they only make things seem worse. They might be more concerned & neurotic than I am, even. They can’t resist poking at every detail in my life, & that is tploy even when they’re at my condo assaulting my appliances. In fact, every time they come down to visit me in the south, they spend the whole trip freaking out about how sizzling & humid it is outside. I don’t know how this is news, I live in the south where it’s sizzling & humid, however you would think that they would get used to it & stop freaking out about the climate for the week or two that they come to see me. But no, they are obsessed with checking the news & repeating the weather. They continually try to rectify the heat with controlling the indoor climate. They’re typically touching my control unit, altering my temperature control program & beating on my terrible air conditioner. Almost every time they come to visit, I have expensive repairs to make in the wake of their concerned attacks.
