OT - Grumpy Old Man Thread

[847badgerfan]

I'm a stepdad.

I needed one.

I go into their darkened rooms and yell LIGHTS LIGHTS LIGHTS!!!!

I'm grumpy that after early wake-ups for about 9 years driven in one way or another by the service, then early wake-ups by kids for all of their littlest years, I just don't sleep late anymore, whether I want to or not. I'm jealous of my kids' ability to do it. Wish I still could.

What is it about being a dad that gives you just a visceral disgust at seeing your teenaged children sleeping in on the weekends?

I mean, it's not like I want them milling around... But still...

I visited family this week. I still got that energy from my dad, and I am well into adulthood. (i’m not even sleeping in, but sometimes the room I stay in looks like I might be.)

I've never slept in. Even in college, I'd wake up early and suffer through my hangover because my body just wouldn't stay asleep.

I hated getting up when I was working.  I'd get up around 7 AM and leave the house at 7:30 if I wanted to beat traffic mostly.

Now I routinely wake up at 6 or 6:30 and am wide awake raring to go.  Sort of raring.

I use to say to my kids "life's tough and then you die"   one time in a group of people just talking i said life's tough and my 8yo son pipes in and then you die right daddy then you die.

My most common comment to my kids is/was "The hardest person to be in life is yourself."  They throw that back at me often.  They say it made zero sense when they were 11.

Welp looks like the corporate Big Brother has banned Google Chrome from our computers. That makes me grumpy. I don’t even know my passwords etc to any site.

You know that sale I was talking about at Costco, and how I ordered my wife a new Apple Watch? 

Yeah, they sent an email saying that my order was canceled as the watch was out of stock. 

With nothing about "when back in stock you can re-order for the same sale price" or anything like that. 

Grumpy.
