MAGA Mother in law
I use to really like my mother in law. In a lot of ways I still do. But they've gone full blown MAGA and all they do is watch these conservative hateful youtube videos. All day, every day, and its impossible to have a conversation with her without her twisting it into a political rant. Just now I got off work (I substitute teach) and was talking about how chrome books aren't healthy for kids and she got worked up about how horrible schools are because of transgender kids. When I told her there didn't seem to be that many and technology is a bigger issue she started insulting me, telling me I don't know anything and only do what the "liberals" tell me (when I'm not even that liberal). When I pointed out that she doesn't have any kids in school now, nor has been in one in twenty years, she went full on psycho. I told her to calm down and that just made it worse. It was insane. She's just so different then what she use to be. She use to be fun, happy, had hobbies, and could have meaningful conversations.The best comparison I have to what is going on with her is when someone is an alcoholic. You know your loved one is there, but they're just not really there. Regardless she wants me to be a full time stay at home mom (even though we can't afford it) because feminism is bullshit. So I cancelled all my shifts the day she comes and watches the kids. Thanks for reading my rant.
