Re: Boomer dad BS.

I think you're right. I don't think my dad realizes how nosy and critical he sounds when he does this, nor would he see it as an attempt to micro-manage someone else's life for whatever reason. He'd hate it if someone hovered over his shoulder nitpicking his decisions, of course, but when he does it he's "just trying to help" or "just making conversation". That's what's so maddening about it, his refusal to see that he's being incredibly annoying and a jerk about stuff that doesn't affect him in any way.

I get frustrated because I don't want to be rude or loud about this, but he literally will not listen to anything else. Diversionary tactics only go so far, because he's just so very determined to offer his .02 about pet care or the best route to get to the dentist and it's a real puzzle to him why I'm not more appreciative. I'm dealing with depression, and it's hard enough to get through these mundane tasks as it is. Summoning up the energy to politely discourage him from "helping" is a further emotional drain I don't need.
