SirSamVimes posted:Repeated jokes about being a leech who only cares about money every time I saw my parent(s) would make me not want to see them anymore. I agree with you, I think it would have been nicer if she at some point asked him to stop? Like my Foster Mom and I joke like that literally all the time, where she says I shouldn't come around anymore cuz the checks won't clear, and I keep joking that I just like seeing that she's slowly dying, it's just jokes and heckling and poo poo.

Yeah, but it's not made clear in the comic that Zelda is participating in those jokes, and it's pretty clear she doesn't appreciate them. And have you ever tried telling your dad not to make a certain kind of joke anymore, when he obviously loves making 'em so drat fuckin' much and you just wanna be a good kid but goddamn it he drives you up the wall and maybe it'd just be better if you didn't put yourself in that position anymore you'll still call you'll still gently caress gotta call my dad

SwitchbladeKult posted:I've never understood the mental gymnastics required for Christians to cozy up to guns. I know a lot of people here in the South that are very devout Christians who are simultaneously 2nd Amendment enthusiasts. They talk a lot about "self defense". They always look uncomfortable when I ask them about all the times Jesus said to just let people hurt you and never fight back. Mark 22:36 checkmate libruls! ... but Matthew 22:21 and Romans 13:1 don't count. Nor the one about shellfish, or mixed fibers, or caring for the poor, or not being judgemental, or or or. Okay, your username. Disk usage, human numbers, all entries, summary, but what is the -t flag? Man doesn't say either. Ularg posted:I'm waiting for the next logical step in this hosed-up world being "Well if we make pedophilia negative that will just drive them underground!" Unironically this. It's the action that is a problem, the goal should be to prevent sexual exploitation of kids, not punish people for thinking a kid is sexy. I mean, if someone's sexually attracted to kids, would you rather they be willing to talk to a psychologist about it and get the support they need to cope, or just gently caress kids? Of course, in this case, actions happened, so that's not immediately relevant. Nothing is more communist than private ownership of the means of social interaction! Like, even even the corrupt USSR failed implementation would have at least had it be nominally state-owned.

Eh, it's not exactly Abe Simpson/Beatrice Horseman levels of parental abuse. (My dad is a bit like this though, which is why my brother ended up cutting all contact and not allowing him contact with his granddaughter. My dad still can't see anything unreasonable about what basically became emotional blackmail on his part.)

If interacting with someone requires a) active effort, however small and b) makes you feel bad when you do, most people just slowly and subconsciously start finding excuses not to do a. She probably hasn't made a conscious decision "Dad's an rear end in a top hat, I will stop calling him", but because he always makes her feel bad she is quicker to find distractions rather than call and doesn't feel as guilty about forgetting. Over time that turns into habit, and she talks to him less and less. Doesn't require her to make any real decision, and just asking him to stop may not even occur to her - after all, she may not even realize that she really does mind and may try to rationalize it in her head as "that's just how he is".

He seems exactly like the type of guy that would name his daughter after Zelda Fitzgerald. I'm assuming her mom must have been a bit more radical but she's never been in the comic.

This comic really wasn't supposed to be "cut rear end in a top hat people you don't like out of your life." At least I don't think so. It's just a simple "we tend to alienate people consciously/subconsciously if they really aren't fun or pleasing in any way to communicate with." We all know people like this. My grandma is one of those Christian conservative types that constantly takes other people's sides in stories and reminds you of your failures whenever applicable. Let's just say I was the only relative left that regularly visited with her, until recently I (consciously in this case) decided to drastically cut down on my exposure to her toxicity. What's the alternative though? Explain to them that they are incredibly sour people that no one likes to be around? Tell someone who's in the latter half of their life that they're awful and need to change? Probably not.

I've been the daughter in situations like this and let me give some advice: just tell your parents directly you don't like those kinds of jokes. If they respect you, they'll stop. If they don't, well they might be jerks and maybe you should visit them less. But there's a strong possibility they're just trying to have some fun with you and make conversation and they don't realize they're making you upset. After all, some people love these kinds of jokes: Turtlicious posted:Like my Foster Mom and I joke like that literally all the time, where she says I shouldn't come around anymore cuz the checks won't clear, and I keep joking that I just like seeing that she's slowly dying, it's just jokes and heckling and poo poo. (This is adorable btw) But they're not for everyone, and if they're not for you then you need to say something (they well come up with new less offensive dumb jokes to tell, trust me). Because open communication is the only way to maintain a healthy relationship with your parents as an adult (or any relationship with anyone really).

And that doesn't work because not only are they set in their own ways, but, they've known you since you were born (or before you were born, in the case of parents). You can be a 10th level black belt in debate and they're still gonna make you feel like the rear end in a top hat for bringing it up and turning the conversation around to where it's YOU on the defensive trying to convince them that you don't hate them.
