Nasty, sexist posts. Why, dear God, why? n/t

22. I've won her over on "Obama stuff" before.

Obamacare got her significantly lowered Medicare fees and got her some surgeries she needed (cataracts). When I point it out she rolls her eyes and says "thanks Obama" but you can see a glint in her eye and she appreciates what I'm saying. I'm not making excuses for her, but she came from a pretty different era, and so it's hard for her to change. So she supports Obama on a lot of things but still makes a snarky remark here or there.

Last one was when Obama improved Cuba relations, she mocked it, and I pointed out that my dad said that "he'd never see it in his lifetime" (he died in '96) and then she admitted that it was a pretty impressive thing.

But yeah, she's still a super conservative type of person and I've on many occasions thought to myself "mom, no, don't say that" but I can't hate her or whatever. She's almost 70. Times are different. It amazes me she uses internet a lot and she knows I post on here but I don't think she searches my posts... but yeah.

Love you mom if you're reading this. We have our disagreements.
