My parental unit is visiting the US next week too and to be honest, it’s always a struggle. My parents are fairly chill in many life aspects but I’m highly suspicious they think I’m a major disappointment because I don’t do anything like a normal person

They are proud of my career and the way I’ve been figuring out this country. Still, I’m behind everyone else’s kids in their eyes because I won’t have a family of my own and don’t own a home. Not much to do here - apart from earning enough to have my own house and support them in their older years, there is nothing else I can really change

They likely understand it but are still disappointed af 

So yeah, every visit is interesting to say the least

Ah shit. I can imagine what that's like. Hurts even more when you have figured it out for yourself, but others can't let go of their preconceptions.

Yeah, we just think in completely different concepts at this point

Very little connection there
