It's gotten worse since they've retired and moved to the south. All social activity comes from the church. They came to help me run a social event last year and I noticed they turned any conversation into one of three things: How great it is that person X is a christian, with christian values, how wrong the democrats are and how the flat tax will solve the universe's problems. They were always crazy churchies and right wing, but it's so EXTREME anymore.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1678671341796735502.post-37184915169224854282008-07-05T21:00:00.000-07:002008-07-05T21:00:00.000-07:00I know exactly what you mean.

We're not going to change. And by grown adults, I'm the youngest and I'm 32! I don't tell my mom hardly anything because I don't want to hear her tell me what she thinks I should do. If she stepped back and was more "friend" like, I'd be willing to share more.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1678671341796735502.post-78877479188474646542008-07-05T15:54:00.000-07:002008-07-05T15:54:00.000-07:00Umm - God is telling her things?! Yikes!She sounds...Umm - God is telling her things?! Yikes!<BR/><BR/>She sounds sort of like my mom - except for the hearing voices part. My mom is SOOO SENSITIVE! You can't make a joke around her without her becoming offended - oh, and she's super religious and conservative, too.<BR/><BR/>My dad, on the other hand - cheers!KGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10236206776336550381noreply@blogger.com
