My dad is an "at your age" champion too, meanwhile i'm subtly trying to tell his ass to do something else than work his health away and watch tv on the sofa. Hhhhhhh °_• each to their own •_°

I love that human being and look up to him but ffs live a little or something, now i sound just like him in a way lol..

My father in law also like that.

I love my inlaws, they're awesome! But he's the guy where you could tell him "I just got hired at XYZ place!" And his only response is "so when are they making you CEO?"

🫠 He's also the one that believes still you can walk into a place, give the manager a FIRM handshake, hand him your resume, and that will and you a job immediately.

One of my best friend's dad is like this. Shits on him for being a 30 year old gamer with a kid. He takes care of his kid just simply plays when he's asleep as he works from home and on his own schedule.

Would get told constantly growing up that games were a waste of time. Yet he sits on the couch for hours after work watching soccer all day and fails to see the irony.

I only give my kids the “at your age” thing when they complain about household chores like dishes. “At your age I had to wash, dry and out them all away by myself” as opposed to one kid drying and the other putting away while I wash.
