Text translation: “I finish work at 6 pm today. I want the food to be warm when I get home. And don’t forget to put that movie I told you about on the USB, I want to watch it after getting in bed”.

Text from today. I’m expected to cook all of his meals, do his laundry, iron his clothes, do the grocery shopping, clean the house, run any errands he needs, etc. basically all of the housework, he won’t do anything even when he doesn’t go to work. I love him but it becomes mildly infuriating at times, especially when I have to sync my life with his schedule. At least he takes good care of me financially.

    Yeah if I change this in my head from “dad” to “shitty boss”, it’s still bad but it’s tolerable. You could certainly do a lot worse in the job department.

    It shouldn’t be a job in the first place, and this adjustment requires losing a dad, so it’s horrible even in its best form, but it provides a path forward that isn’t a non-starter.
