Much of it humorous, much of it frustrating.<\/p>\n<p>My husband called my father-in-law like he always does approximately every other week or so. It is amazing how much he has no idea who my husband is. My husband&#8217;s parents divorced-well seperated while my husband was very small. Neither one was forced to take responsibilty for their child because whenever it became inconvenient to have a son, they were able to send him off to the other parent or a relative-which happened often. Neither of my husband&#8217;s parents see anything wrong with this philosophy of child rearing.<\/p>\n<p>So here we are, 29 years later,my husband a practicing &#8220;traditional Catholic&#8221; if you will, pro-life, pro-family, pro-morals etc. His parents are dumbfounded why he has not embraced the values they tried so hard to instill him with in between their partying breaks-being pro-abortion, pro-cohabitating and most importantly making sure that everyone you will happen to meet knows you are Puerto Rican.<\/p>\n<p>So, my husband calls up my father-in-law to shoot the breeze and afterwards leaves my husband with a sick feeling. To make up for time lost not being a father (or at least that is my best guess), my father-in-law tries to step in while my husband is grown to tell him what he is doing wrong in his life:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>&#8220;You should work more hours,&#8221;-my husband works 53 a week\n<li>&#8220;You shouldn&#8217;t give the kids steroids for their asthma,&#8221;-from a man who smokes\n<li>&#8220;Are you sure you know what you are doing with homeschooling?&#8221;\n<li>&#8220;Why don&#8217;t your kids speak Spanish yet?&#8221;<\/ul>\n<p>It is so frustrating because he just shoots off critiques without ever asking &#8220;why did you choose to do that?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>How many of us Gen X Reverts have people from that Baby Boomer generation in our families that it is impossible to communicate with?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Meet the Parents&#8230; I think I would like to introduce you to my family little by little because I think there is a lot of material to blog about there.
