                                             snappedsharply  That’s how you come down?

    Excuse me

It sounds like you’re slighting them.

Ohno  not at all

                    I meant it as a matter of fact   Honestly

If thas wha they preferthey enjoy  arent put up to it

                                                         Ive no judgment

Put up to it?

he almost sighed but withheld it  Tyranny of family

                                                   If Ive said it once Ive said it dozens of times

You sounded judgmental.

Kiddo  Know me to be judgmental

No.  I do not.

                 Your tone, maybe your tone surprised me.

Perhaps my words rather than my tone

    Maybe

              Or maybe I’m harboring ill will . . being defensive for you.

I really don’t understand.

Nothing to understand

                         Let me cop my daughters line which I do not care for

It is what it is

                  However I appreciate you asking rather than letting it stir you saying nothing  let it fester

I try to imagine if I had grandchildren . .

. . But you don

                    Classic Wittgenstein  Whereof thereof

All you have is an opinion

Were not prone to opinions

No.  We’re not.

Your friends, how many grandchildren?

Three  Eight   And they readily take them in

                                                   Literally at the drop of a hat

Raising your children you did not have that?

No  We were at a remove though we woudnt have subjected our parents to that even if my siblings did

   We were responsible

It woudnt have occurred to us to take advantage of our parents

I understand.

Thank you

             Hence my rejoiner   If you like that kind of thing
