What a waste.. How hard was it to just fucking chill in his retirement years and not be a Facebook terrorist.

It’s actually pretty hard tbh. My dad recently retired and I had to unfollow him on the remaining social media platforms I am still on.

If you don’t stay busy or in touch with your friends, you’ll just fall into a hole and post crazy shit online to get attention

Some people take it well, others not so much. My parents tend to be super chill and are handling retirement very well, my dad can't sit still (tries to do DIY stuff he shouldn't be doing at his age) but he's always been that way.

My in-laws are both just about retired, they are rapidly losing their minds because all they've ever known for the past 35 years is work or taking care of their 4 kids and now they have neither. My FIL doesn't understand how to not be working, he will literally go home to do yardwork in the middle of vacation because he can't take it anymore. All my MIL does is complain about how much he irritates her. Both of them need hobbies and fast.

My dad was like that right up until he couldn’t move anymore, and even then he kept planning projects and asking how things were coming along, reminding my mom the specific type of plaster she’ll need to repair that one crack in that wall etc
