So fucking judgmental

My father was in town this past weekend and he was being so incredibly judgey of other people. Now I love a good “omg what is wrong with them” moment if it’s warranted. You know, “I can’t believe they said that to you”, discussing people being rude, etc.. However, he started pointing things out to me WITH MY CHILDREN PRESENT like “see those girls holding hands?” Ummm ok…? Mind you, one of my best friends is married to another woman and HE ATTENDED THE WEDDING. And no, he wasn’t saying it to be all nice, how sweet. He did it because he doesn’t care for when gay people have PDA because it makes him uncomfortable. I just rolled my eyes, said “ok” like it didn’t matter, which it doesn’t, and he sorta dropped it but then we went to dinner and the hostess has her septum pierced. She was super sweet, helpful and did a great job doing her job. My father looked at me and said “look at her nose.” I just responded “be nice” and he shut up. But he’s done this my whole life and I am fed up. Anytime a young woman dresses in a way that he doesn’t like he suddenly looks down on them. Was told on repeat my whole life that face piercings and tattoos were gross and unattractive. But the idea that he expects women to dress themselves to make an old white guy happy is honestly…gross. Idk what is happening but the older they get the more and more respect I am loosing for my parents and their boomer ways. Just…why spending your final years being a dick! I truly do not understand .
