Sounds like it's time to stick him in a home
What would you think if your parents say it's time to put you up for adoption every time you get into an argument? What a fucking weird thing to get upset over and think of throwing your parents away just because of an argument
Educating a child and arguing about things is one of the most normal things in the world. Dealing with an adult who refuses to acknowledge objective reality is a sign of mental decline. These two things are not the same.
Also, my parents threatened to sell me to gypsies (oof, that does not age well) throughout my childhood so...
Sadly, when a significant percentage of the country's population refuses to acknowledge objective reality, it's no longer really a sign of individual mental decline.
Like, maybe 30% of the population should be in the looney bin, but that's in no way practical.
Fr it adult homes make sense for people without children or problematic families, but how can you take a person who has raised you and showered you with love and stick him in a glorified hospital?
Because they didnt.
I have no interest in so much as talking to my parents. They did the bare minimum to get me to 18 and that was it. Everything else was for them. So fuck you if I don’t want to give them the same goddamn treatment so I can break the cycle and focus on my own damn family.
Love how you ignored the other part of my comment.
Because they need more living space and socialization with their peers than you have in your home? Have you ever lived in an apartment or condo instead of a single family home out in the country? Was it horrible to live with lots of people your own age instead of with your parents?
My mother in law is busy constantly hosting dinner parties in her condo at the retirement center where she lives. Retirement centers vary based on amount of care needed.
What a weirdly aggressive comment, calm down. It's a comment section on the internet, don't get so emotional.
