Do older people realize their views don't work anyone?

[Anonymous]

Every time my great-aunt and a couple older relatives come, they try to reinforce their views on me. That's annoying.

For instance they think after finishing lunch with my family, I should excuse myself with a thank you, it was great. Whatever. They expected me to help wash the dishes and not just wash my dish I've eaten from. It's not my job to wash someone else's dish.

They heard me once arguing with my parents last year (I was 17) and both were shocked. They kept going on explaining about their days and how backtalking was an immediately slap. I don't consider it backtalking but regarding expressing your opinion and feelings on something you don't agree. I replied to them with a ''Well then, I'm going to call the cops if someone hits me for expressing myself. I'm a person, not an object or dog that submits. I'm not going to be saying yes to everything''.

It's like they are stuck back in time. Do they realize their ideas and views ain't going to work anymore?

Of course they won't work. You are right. For people who are proud and selfish its an absolute waste of time to invest anything into them.* But they still will because they love you and hope someday that valuable information will sink in.

But all people are cursed with the "child just like themselves" And when that happens you will awaken.

*I am not jumping to conclusions. You are talking about yourself. In your own description you state that you are unwilling to take the simplest steps to show any manors or consideration for the loving work others have done to feed you. You will not lift a finger to help with the clean up but leave all the work for others. You are not open to any advice from those who have way more experience than you. You are not willing to try to understand when you don't understand others effort to help you develop into a pleasant person.
I doubt you will listen to strangers on the internet who will disagree with you.

Treat your friends that way and watch them disappear. Try to teach another and expect the same rejection and see how you feel.
I would have fed you once and you would not be welcome back if you treated me and my house that way.

I do hope you learn to be grateful, caring, sharing, helpful, and humble before you lose out on so much that is great in life.

Manners aren’t specific to any generation.
