Non-stop debating

I love my parents, but their lives have literally seem to become debating each other over anything and everything, no matter how big or small...

And they do it for entertainment and do it until they piss the other one off, then need to take a mad break and then the cycles starts all over again.

Them ALWAYS debating drives me nuts, and espmy concern that bnot if, but when it'll lead to an argument sucks.

But it's whom they are now and I don't think they could change even if they wanted to...

Both Hillary and Obama did a big pivot on lots of topics like immigration in about 2014. That’s when I stopped identifying as dem and am now ind.

Did it ever happen that they changed sides over the space of a few months?

Example: In January, Dad says, "I think A," and Mom says, "Nooo, that's not right, I think B."

Then in May, Dad says, "I think B," and Mom says, "Nooo, that's not right, I think A."

Or vice-versa for Mom and Dad.

@Thinkerbell

So it sounds as if they just like arguing for the sake of arguing

Yup! It's their version of entertainment and connecting with others...

I just don't get it, at all... talking to share and learn, sure, but why debate when you already know exactly where each other stand? Doesn't make sense to me.

@Viper

Maybe they should do more research and bring up points that they haven't mentioned before.
Add a little spice to the game. 😂

@Thinkerbell nah, I think that would make it worse, and they're looking at new articles and keeping up with new parts ... but still, it comes down to the same points.
