Have you ever considered that it’s your parents manipulating you?
You think you getting what you want- but in reality they are getting what they want…
I do this a lot to my kids.

Horrifying. I know all about nursing homes, but the perspective shift he used was powerful. Overwhelming, really.
My husband and I have promised to kill one another before it comes to that. But that will only work for one of us. Hopefully by the time it’s needed we’ll be able to choose compassionate death.
A 2017 poll by Gallup displayed that a solid majority of Americans, with 73 percent in favor, support laws allowing patients to seek the assistance of a physician in ending their life.[4]

yes and it’s probably the case, but as long as I get what I want, I could care less who’s manipulating who

I walked a little too aggressively into the bar when going to front squat. Good whack to the throat. Decided I would still unrack and then I nearly died.
People in my gym watched on in amusement as I juggled a gagging sensation, painful breathing and almost getting squashed by the bar.

I’ve actually choked myself out front squatting.
But what I was really here to say is,
I just heard Mrs KO play munchkin some of the Lion King music and I was reminded how viscerally I loathe musicals of all kinds, and Disney ones in particular.

Myself and the misso binged watched like 9 seasons of greys anatomy a few years back.
I ended all affiliation with the show when they had a completely random musical episode

There is an advert on TV where people sing a song from that movie. Think it’s for Woolies. It makes me want to kill people !!

I confess I like watching soapy reality tv. Mostly, it’s low commitment shit I can have playing in the background while I do other stuff

As a parent, I confess that your parents know exactly what you’re doing, because they were also once children. In turn, don’t sweat it. They’ll say no when it’s the right time.

Real Lion King or that live action bullshit they’re currently trying to peddle?

I guess, which is why I do it. I know they won’t let me die at the very least
Being a parent has taught me the real meaning of karma. All the stuff i used to do as a kid that I used to think was hilarious? Not so funny now my boy does it.

You’re gonna love this. I have a theory that casting Russell Crowe in this movie was an elaborate prank by financiers with too much money.

It won’t be fun once you’re financially independent. Traditional Chinese parents will manipulate you for the rest of their lives lol. My mother manipulated my wife into manipulating me into redesigning MY house all the way down to the furniture placement because of fucking fengshui.

Don’t get started on fengshui with me. My mom is pretty inflexible (dare I say diehard) about it.
Sorry about the house though. That must have really sucked. It’s part of the reason why I don’t want my parents to get me a house/apartment

I confess that I have wished more than once that my life could be a musical, so that I could burst into song when emotions dictate.
Related: I also wish I had a voice that doesn’t suck when I burst into song.
Related: I confess that my children were the victims of this propensity for song, and woke up most days to it. My daughter started singing “Rise and Shine” to her college roommate one morning early freshman year and was hit with “What the FUCK are you doing?” Which made my daughter question for the first time that aspect of her upbringing.
Related: I fucking LOVE me some Disney, and so do my poor, warped kids.

My mom used to be like this too. Sadly, unlike you’re daughter, I did not pick up this propensity.
I’m sure your kids aren’t warped, at least not as warped as I turned out. I honestly would have disowned myself
My mother has this bizarre tactic of trying to con me into doing stuff by means of quoting some mysterious news article or TV show or doctor/other expert that she can never quite remember the specifics of nor can she ever find again.
For example, if she doesn’t like me eating meat then she will tell me about how yesterday’s newspaper had an article with 20 doctors and nutritionist saying 9 times out of 10, you will die in within 5 minutes of meat touching your lips. If I dig up yesterday’s paper, then it must have been the day before or the paper from another state…
She has done this literally each time I have seen her for nearly 20 years. Even though I cannot remember a single time it has not got a response of “don’t believe everything you read/hear/see, mother”.
Previously, this was mildly annoying and mildly amusing. She now pulls this on my wife who not only accepts this bullshit but compounds it with equally bizarre angles.
If I couldn’t go to work and torture my colleagues, I’d probably have had a heart attack or stroke years ago.

That’s the lighter, higher volume day. During that time they’re also lifting heavy once a week.
