I'm just amazed how two very intelligent and capable people (They did figure out how to immigrate to Canada and build a very successful life right?) can get into so many stupid situations literally all the time. This whole paragraph was only 1 week worth of adventures, tune in next week for another episode of "La vida de los padres de elizabeth".
I get sad at how much life my parents waste watching television. Also, they have long standing animosity towards their own parents which has caused them so much anguish in their lives and they don't even see it. It's a bummer. I'm trying hard not to have that with them and even said as much to them. They're a bit un-self-aware. I don't think their life would be a comedy. So at least you have that going for you... Humor is a good thing!
Sounds familiar to my mother but oddly enough not my father. She never thought she would live this long so now she has no idea what to do with her life because at the same time she's waiting for the next illness to come take it all away. I don't really understand how they ever got along but I think it's more that my dad accepted who my mom was a long time ago. It's still incredibly sad to watch her sit around and waste every moment she has because she's too afraid to live.
