ChairMaster posted:Just leave when the stupid poo poo starts up, ain't no reason you need to stick around for that. I've done this once with my family and it worked. Simply stood up and said "One of the nice things about being an adult is that I don't have to put up with it when I'm talked to like I'm a child." then I left. EDIT: Just for context, I was meeting my parents/girlfriend for dinner and I came directly from work, I had been doing cable runs in our warehouse (I'm an IT dude) so was wearing some pretty ratty jeans (Actually had mostly gotten torn a bit while doing the cable runs, so they got ratty while I was at work, not dirty just a little torn up). Going home to change would have been an hour round trip so wasn't going to happen in time, and immediately I got dressed down because my jeans had tears in them "I can't believe you would present yourself in your workplace like that/no son of mine would blah blah" no chance given for explanation and any explanation rebuffed so the dressdown could continue. I hadn't lived with them for 10 years, I simply didn't have to put up with that poo poo anymore so I didn't. Sorry mom, 98% of my job is in a nice cushy office where I can wear business casual. The other 2% is unfortunately dragging cat5 between a pair of concrete piles that snag and tear my jeans I wore specifically so I wouldn't trash a suit.
