I have to be honest.. I did not see this coming. My father has always been a little loopy, but I am convinced parents start to act like children to get back at having to wipe your ass for 3 years. I.E. Lets take my father's whip. It is notoriously dirty, although he is generous with his leech son when he wants to use it. The caveat is of course... he expects it to be clean when it returns.
When entering my dad's car, you are pushed back by the smell of wet dog. Once you are past the initial aroma, it appears as if he has been carpooling with Orangutans for 3 years due to the amount of hairs in the car. I can get past all this, but what really gets me is the semi used paper towels and endless plastic grocery bags shoved under the seat. There is no way he thinks this is his attempt of cleaning? Maybe symbolism for the carnage my ass used to leave...
I usually clean the car and just bite the bullet knowing that his behavior these days mimics a 14 year old girl. ... highly explosive. I just try to navigate without setting anything off. He wants your attention at times and quickly does not want to anything with you. I am convinced he passed through the 18 year old phase and imagine nothing is worse than this 14 year old phase... until the actual shitting of pants phase begins.
