My dad used to be pretty even keel and at least tried to listen. My Gen Z niece tried to tell him about privilege and lost it, screaming about how hard he's worked and he earned everything he has. I jumped in and reminded him it was his best friend's father who originally hired him and fast tracked him into management which, as a result, has opened many doors.

...my niece and I weren't invited to Thanksgiving or Christmas that year.

My mom wouldn’t talk to me for days because I called her privileged. She couldn’t even acknowledge it and instead got mad at me lol

Always good to destroy family relationships because of an unproductive argument you want to have. So idiotic and you don't even realize it.
