Life has transformed into a Monty Python sketch.
That’s what I got as well. I had so many questions.
Back at a time when I naively worked 80+ hours every week, I had a doctor lecture me about slowing down saying, “if you want to have a heart attack at 50, keep doing what you’re doing.”
Naturally, I ignored that advice. What made me stop was the realization that my employer did not care about all the nights and weekends that I gave up for them. It was totally meaningless to them. Just as meaningless as OP’s nights and weekends are to their boss.
The cornerstone of any good relationship is honesty. Without that, everything else is sitting on a bad foundation.
Your little bro is in for a bad time but some people just have to learn the hard way.
Our oldest, who is almost 17, calls me by my first name. Although I have heard her refer to me as “dad” when she thinks I’m not in earshot. When I adopted her, I promised she would never have to call me “dad” unless she wanted to.
We’ve since turned it into a running joke where when anyone asks why she calls me by my first name, she’ll tell them she did something so bad that she was never allowed to call me dad again as punishment.
What kind of dad doesn’t want to be called “dad”? That’s a title of the highest honor. Anyone can call me “sir”. There are only three people in the world who call me “dad.”
Anyone still on Shitter is just asking for whatever they get at this point.
