Re: Boomer dad BS.

[(Anonymous)]

Yeah, arguing with people like that is useless. Some people are just contrarian, they'll argue against anything as a knee-jerk reaction. I should know, I'm one of them.

If you can stomach it, I'd try "You probably have an easier way to do it! This is what I found works best for me" said with a smile and a sunny disposition. Might put him on the back foot if you acknowledge right out of the gate that he has a better way (and it doesn't fucking matter because your way works best for you).

Or you could try to put the onus of explaining himself on him: "Why is taking the kitchen trash can around the house better?" / "Isn't it nasty to carry the smelly kitchen trash around the whole house?". Asked with mild curiosity as if you're taking him seriously until he comes to the conclusion that your way is better himself.

My favourite tactic by now is to see the whole thing as a comedy routine (my dad is similar). It's allowed me to view the while thing with humour, though I'll readily admit that that only worked after I had a sort of reset on my outlook of life overall. Before that, when I'd reached full BEC levels, that wouldn't have worked for me.

Yeah, I'd need quite a hard reset before I could approach it with that level of good humor. My problem is that if I feel my way is the best (for me, I should add, I don't go so far as to claim it's the best way, period) then I'd rather eat my own damn shoe than say that someone else's way is better. Because it's not true. I'd especially choke on such a white lie to a man, because I'm frankly rather sick of being condescended to by the men in my life. I'm also really sick of humoring the men in my life to spare their feelings or manage their jerkwad ways like they're spoiled children as opposed to adults.

Basically, I'm tired of being the bigger person, always.
