Dear V3Ra, Your dad sounds very much like my mum used to be when we looked after her. Never offered to pay wherever we went, just took it for granted but always had to put her two pennyworth in and even then I never answered back.
My neighbour is exactly the same, it is like going out with my mum. Even though we are the same age 81 years old, I think of her as an old lady that needs to be looked after, which is ridiculous really. We went to the bank once and she turned round and said in a loud voice (my friend has no filter), sit there, sit there, I said I am okay standing so she said, no just sit there I won't be long. A customer said to me, go on love, sit where your mother tells you to. I said she is not my mother, we are the same age. Thank goodness, my neighbour didn't hear that because she went mad the last time when the waitress called her my mother. The other problem is, my friend has a loud voice and if she sees a woman with a bigger than average bosom she will say oh my god, look at her. I say, be quiet she will hear you. Then if she sees a person in a Hi-jab she has to voice her concerns about people coming to our country and not wearing our clothes. One of these days we will either be arrested for racism or beaten up by someone. I told our sons and they said again, mum get out now otherwise she can get you in trouble.
