It happens when you get into your second childhood of old age as well. I really think that I doubt more, believe less and feel completely isolated in opinion and logic at this age then I ever have in my life. As a young child we believe pretty much everything we are told. We didn't have any choice or reason to believe otherwise. We learned and trusted pretty much anything anybody said to us. When we progress to puberty, we started to question conventional wisdom coming from our elders. But, as we grew into adult we were part of the elders that shaped us and we saw the world our own way tainted by what we were told combined with what we experienced and saw. Then we run into old age and we realize that a lot of the stuff we believed was BS and we saw things differently. Our focus change to health and once again we were forced to believe those that were in charge of keeping us alive. But, we do question the validity of a lot of things that we are told and are far more likely to be vocal and questioning. So for that we get labeled as grumpy old people. And we once again are treated like a child in condescending and insulting ways, like we are all children. I guess that is the real circle of life.

I can understand that, and how frustrating it must be.

All great points but I'm pretty sure you started out grumpy;)

Right! Gifts don't count;) Maybe after the holiday rush I'll find some time because something tells me I'm getting gift certificates for Christmas again(Joann seems to be the one place the come from). My mil gives cash with a note not to be spent on groceries or anybody but me.

So my friend who was supposed to go with me to Disney in February bailed. I'm thinking of cancelling myself and going by myself another time because I just don't feel like going with my parents, plus she really put a damper on the trip by bailing. What do you all think?

I hope your friend had a good reason to bail. Now just my 2 cents suck it up and go with your parents they cover the room, your AP and some of your food;) Besides if you go back to school money may become a little tight and seeing they have room use it

She really didn't. She budgeted correctly, did something stupid with her money, and now can't afford it, and then cancelled and told me about it two days later via text. Remember what I said about my low tolerance for stupidity? It's coming into play right about now...

They actually don't pay for my AP. I pay for that. I just use the DVC discount. I'm just really tired of sharing a space with my dad. Last February, we fought so much that it almost wasn't worth it. August we had less trouble, I think because my brother and I went off on our own during the day.

Just kind of to the point that I don't want to go with them...
