The other day the daughter calls the mom and tells her, the gloves she has aren't warm enough. How do I know what the call was about?

Because I hear the mom say, "I'll go to REI after work, buy you gloves and FedEx them to you. You should have them tomorrow".

What the hell is going on in America? When I was that age, if I told my parents my hands were cold, they would say "go buy warmer gloves".

So here are ysr_racer's rules for being a loser. If any of the following apply to you, guess what, loooooser !!

Your mom makes your meals
Your mom does your laundry
Your mom is your best friend
You still live at home
You talk to your mom every day

America is in sad shape.

I'm wondering if this is the reason we see so many mass shootings by 20 year old kids, they can't function in the real world.

As most have touched on... I disagree with these 3 the most. I would consider my parents friends.. My dad is a real best friend.

Living at home because you decide to be a dead beat is different than living there while trying to get on your feet and things going right for you

Do you have kids?

I call my parents just about every other day.. 3 days most. I do not do it for kudo's.. I do it because I love them and enjoy talking to them. I am 6 hours away from one and 2 hours from the other. I talk to them to keep up with our lives and how things are going.

Just hard to not be a looooooser when you simply try to label others for, what I think, aren't justifiable reasons.

Good day sir.
