Comment on This boomer couple would be hit with $700,000 tax bill if they sold their mansion
Dyskolos@lemmy.zip 3 weeks agoYes absolutely this. I’m glad that this sentiment is seen more and more in the younger generations. They won’t bend for jobs or abuse that easily like mine (genx) or earlier did and still do.
“But they’re your parents!”. Aaand? “dad” or “mom” are titles earned by love not labels given by birth. Toxic is toxic. Fuck it.

They demand to be repaid for raising you. We didn’t chose to be put on this fucking world. They chose kids, it’s their responsibility. We owe them nothing. “But we love you.” Then fucking show it instead of making our lives miserable. Give love, get love back. Give shit, demand love back? That’s not how it works. “But everything we do, we do with good intentions.” Impact weighs heavier than intentions. They prioritize their own wishes over the happiness of their kids. I hate religion, but I like the expression “the road to hell is paved with good intentions”. Something especially boomers will never understand. And sadly many more in this world. Compassion and accepting others for who they are, the way they are and want to be, are sadly rare these days. My goal in life is to show it still exists. And I have many good friends because of it.
