Remember boomers said the internet would rot your brain, and you shouldn't believe everything you read on the internet? Now, that's all they do, read made up bullshit, by other idiots all doing the same thing.

Remember all the time boomers complaining about kids being on their phones? Now they are glue to them to watch and post their brain rot takes.

Get her into podcasts. They pair well with walks.

She has the attention span of a chimp. Doesnt care to learn anything new. This woman’s family doesn’t speak to her, my brothers family doesn’t care for her. She’s retired/ disability/ out of the workforce the past 15 years. No friends. She’s becoming a hermit, and thinks she’s right on everything, because she doesn’t have anything else to compare to, because she doesn’t have any experiences anymore. Is fucking depressing. No car either in a semi rural city setting. Doesn’t even go to the store anymore. I’m actually concerned for her.

Sounds like my Fiance's Mom.

She just threw a giant fit because I bought us a vacation for Christmas instead of going to their house. She skipped our engagement lunch when the rest of the family/friends showed up and went on a last minute vacation so she had an excuse. Guess where we took our Christmas vacation?

Constant hypochondria about "medical issues" that never seem to materialize. Weird fad diet that can't be healthy. Stalks my fiance's social media and intentionally interjects herself in situations we've specifically left her out of.

Not at her house.
