My mother approves of most of my choices, but both her and my mother-in-law want grandchildren and that's absolutely not loving happening.

I don't really care if I am, I feel very little guilt about being a drunk goony loner, because my folks already have multiple grandchildren from their other kids.

Strangely my parents seem to think that all I do is borrow money from them. I borrowed $300 from them exactly once in 2009.

Tbh some of us (Pick) use this website more than others and I feel that I am unfairly subsidizing picks posting. Unless some kind of fee by post usage is enabled were basically instituting a forced welfare state of posting.
I am unscrupulous and always have my hands palm to the sky walking around like a toddler, begging for money so my parents get the vital feedback response of being needed.

Oh ya my mom is also super obsessed with having 'nice things' and is mad that my wife and I don't give a poo poo if our furniture is still just a random collection of stuff we bought over the years and not matching sets, same with our dinner plates and other stuff.

Sorry mom IDGAF if our plates don't match. They're clean and you can eat food off of them shut the gently caress up and quit telling me to spend money on poo poo I don't need or want.

they're both dead but I assume that in the afterlife, if there is one, they can watch me and I dunno read my thoughts or whatever

so I assume that they're disappointed by the fact that I'm reasonably successful, educated and stable yet spend all of my time with video games anime and self deprecating internet humor and my mind / internal monologue is basically a constant loop of goatse and "im gay" 24/7

Yeah probably this one, with a side dish of the knowledge that they're not likely to get grandkids from my brother either, though he is married so there is still a chance there.
