Verdict In

AIO for being a little stung by my son's 'old school tv habits' joke

David was teasing me about how his father and I watched television, and it landed a bit more sharply than I think he intended. I have not said anything further to him about it, but it has stayed with me since.

jokes from your own kid can sting more than they mean to... it's okay that it stuck with you 🌙

@rogerk_drives

funny how a little joke can sit with you longer than it should... not overreacting, just means it meant something.

@gmetz_fixit

back in my day you didnt roast your parents for how they relaxed. kids think everything old is a joke. not overreacting.
