We also operated car and body shops. I worked in all of them doing the dirtiest jobs no one there wanted to do.

It is nice to see I am not alone in this madness. We all love our children. But enough is enough. You can only handle them for so long and quite frankly I thought 20 years would be the number, but maybe not. I will continue to wait out the situation for now. My dad turned 89 this month and is in great shape. With any genetic luck I can wait them all out
When adult children start doing adult things with boyfriends/girlfriends, it is time to get out of the house.
I also worked in my dad's garage. I helped my uncle restore RVs, which by today's standards would equate to child labor at times, but I call it having had a "full life" as a young person. I have nieces younger than my daughter, and it is actually quite troublesome how much of their time is spent staring at their phones.
The minds of our children are being completely changed, I will go as far as using the word "altered", by social media. I have found the best way to get their attention is to shut down the internet. If I want peace I shut the router down and blame AT&T. I once had to make a pretend call to Comcast to get peace and quiet and stop Youtube from blaring at full blast. I spoke to nobody for a good 5 minutes in front of other people. It was insanely delusional, but felt very rewarding in a strange way. I kept the router off for a good 8 hours, it was wonderful. That night the lone wolf won.
