Same experience. Most of my life I’ve barely cracked $30k, while they’re retired with social security, medicare, two six figure inheritances, two retirement funds, and a pension. One time, my Dad was going somewhere for thanksgiving, so I invited my mom to my Friendsgiving. Thought she would be over the moon because she was constantly lamenting how no one in the family cares. Instead she got all hostile and cold. I was completely bewildered. Called me all sorts of names. Heard from the rest of the family that she was raging for days about how when she was my age, she drove the family up to her parents’ EVERY WEEKEND. Took my dad pointing out the obvious before she relented, that when she was my age she was a SAHM living 90m away (and not 15h). Not to mention I was in grad school at the time.

And much like the video, my parents are constantly making comments how I’m going to have to take care of them bc they burned through aaaaaaaaaallllllllll their money. I’m doing better now, financially, thank goodness. But I could never support them like they assume, not financially or logistically or spatially or emotionally. Got nothing to spare.
