I've reached that age where you realise you're more responsible than your parents
I'm not sure when it happened really. It's been coming a while.
It started with my Mum's divorce with my Dad. Both regressed about 10 years the moment I left home.
Dad goes out drinking all the time. Mun got a new lease of life (which was a good thing) but is far more financially fucked than I am.
But recently, it's got out of hand. My Dad drinks more than me. He drinks port in the bath. Goes to bed with a glass of Baileys. Can out drink me over a 4-10 hour period quite easily. It's bad enough that his taste in alcohol is akin to that of a teenager, but really worrying that I have to tell him that 'he's had enough'.
Then I started getting joke emails from various uncles and my stepdad now I've hit some magic age that allows me to bear witness to the pornographic emails they send around between them.
And now they're nearly all on Facebook leaving lewd comments.
I know I'm an adult now. As are they. And that our parents are basically older versions of us who happened to have some kids at some point. And that I hope to be like that at their age too I guess.
But sweet Lord, it's weird...
