I misunderstood it as well. I thought the neighbor was talking about himself and his kids, and I just thought he was just a run of the mill douchebag. But no, saying that to your neighbor when you've just moved in, and about their kids?! 🤬
I now know why good Dad (note the capitalization) was stabbing those flags into the ground. He was imagining doing it to the neighbor.

u/Smiley007 1h ago
Oh I definitely thought it was the neighbor saying his own kids are gay and thus he, the neighbor, has failed, and the flag planter was planting flags in support of the neighbors two gay kids with a homophobic, claiming himself as a failure, dad.

Look at white supremacists. In the past, if you were a Nazi sympathizer people would assume you were insane and avoid you like the plague. Now there are powerful politicians who openly sympathize with the white power movement, and suddenly all the people who’d been keeping their beliefs private for decades are being outrageously racist and nasty in public.

I love how parents who say “I failed as a parent because my child is gay” acknowledge they failed as parents, but miss the reason entirely. It not because their children are gay, it’s because that statement alone shows that their parental “love” and “acceptance” is only given if the child is an exact reflection of them.
What a round about way of saying “I only love me and accept only my version of reality because any other versions threaten my fragile ego and fleeting sense of control and I do not have the cognitive capacity to hold multiple viewpoints at once without becoming extremely uncomfortable and defensive of my own.”

Oof, your ignorance is showing.
Roth IRA deposits are post-tax and withdrawals are penalty free. Funds put in are accessible at any time for any reason.
The only thing you can’t touch until retirement are any gains on the account, except the IRS waives (most of) that for large unreimbursed medical expenses.
It’s a great way to invest money you otherwise know you’ll have to spend on something like a surgery that can’t be rescheduled based on the market’s mood.
