S2 E8 ”When your parents behave like children”

Happy Easter everyone!  Ok - it's technically Easter Monday, BUT, we did record this episode yesterday.  My apologies for taking an extra week to get to this.  I was still getting over my sickness and my dad still had his hand issue.  Well, he still has the pain in his hand, post surgery but it's getting better.

So, I think it's official that my dad is becoming more like a child.  He doesn't listen to me or his doctor(s).  The Dentist gave him a fake tooth to wear so that it would shape his gum line to make receiving his implant easier and more comfortable.  Did he wear that stupid fake tooth?  Heck no!  When we go out to eat somewhere, I always send him the link to the website and their menu so he can check it out ahead of time.  Does he?  Heck no!  Same with ordering beer. 

Me - "Hey dad, what type of beer would you like?" 

Dad - "Yuengling or Shiner."

Me -  "No dad.  Those are brands, not types." "Types are Lagers, IPA's, Stouts, Wheats, etc."

Dad - "Ok, order me whatever you think I will like"

It even happens when I ask him to navigate somewhere.  I send him the maps, directions, send him links for parking.  Does he read it before hand?  Heck no!  I think you get the point. He can be frustrating - as I am sure I am frustrating to him - but I still love him!  Hopefully he still loves me.
