As a son, is this unfilial or just unfortunate? We have different values, the kind where you can't even have a half-sentence conversation without clashing.This time my dad's lumbar disc herniation relapsed. We found the best hospital (the head of the national key department of spinal surgery) to do a UBE, a very common minimally invasive surgery. After it was done, he complains about everything... blames heaven and earth but never himself (retired and idle at home, but with bad habits like smoking, staying up late, not exercising, not listening to advice). After the surgery, I helped wipe him, change his pants and sheets, feed him water and food (Why not hire a caregiver? Not coming personally and hiring one is considered unfilial). When drinking water, he spat a little out himself and then scolded me for not being careful (no tracheotomy, no risk of infection. Two people in the family have been in the hospital this year, so I'm very knowledgeable about medical stuff now. The other one is recuperating at home after coming out of the ICU, thankfully). I told him to buy a medical-grade lumbar brace on JD. The doctor said 400, the one I bought was 200 (same function). He came to ask me if I didn't have enough money, he would pay (The sad thing is, he knows perfectly well I'm not short of this money. It's not about money at all, it's that I'm just a practical person). He nods and says thank you, thank you to the doctor, but has endless demands and not a single kind word for family. It's truly helpless 🤷‍♀️I believe most children admire and love their parents. Leading by example is fundamental. As children grow up and develop their own worldview, they will discover the perspectives that suit them best. And the biggest negative example in their hearts is most likely a close relative. This is something that will be remembered and influence them for a lifetime. From my perspective, to say something unfilial, I don't want my children to be alone with my dad. I'm worried they'll learn the 'bad' stuff. Every time I think about this, I feel very sad inside.Compared to all the things in real life, matters here in US stocks are really trivial. I'm not even scared of a 99% drop. The conviction was already prepared before I started buying. And if it drops, it drops. Close the app and it has no impact. But a living person next to you, you hide, he chases, haha 😊" datetime: "2026-04-23T03:52:29.000Z" locales: - [en](https://longbridge.com/en/topics/40124022.md) - [zh-CN](https://longbridge.com/zh-CN/topics/40124022.md) - [zh-HK](https://longbridge.com/zh-HK/topics/40124022.md) author: "[Jason4HK](https://longbridge.com/en/profiles/21227604.md)" --- # #ConfessionTime Let's talk about something unrelat… ## Comments (10) - **总是忍不住满仓 · 2026-04-25T12:08:05.000Z**: Every family has its own troubles. The old man in our family is even more difficult to deal with😄 - **Jason4HK** (2026-04-25T14:38:18.000Z): It's not easy, take care of yourself, make more money. - **辰清 · 2026-04-23T12:03:57.000Z · 👍 1**: Most of the older generation are like this. No matter how you try to persuade them about many things, it's useless, and they still go their own way. They are all adults with their own lives, and you can't watch them every day. Since talking doesn't work, just let it be. Everyone is responsible for t - **Jason4HK** (2026-04-23T12:47:54.000Z): Addicted to making money hehe😁 - **图图要有耐心 · 2026-04-23T05:26:12.000Z**: Stay together when needed, keep your distance when not. It's not about filial piety, it's about mutual kindness. Since you've already repaid evil with good, there's no need to be too hard on yourself. Just like Buffett says, choose people you respect and are willing to work with.I think it does have - **Jason4HK** (2026-04-23T05:38:11.000Z): Happiness first! Use making money to dilute your worries, hehe 😁 - **McG麥格雷戈 · 2026-04-23T04:59:57.000Z · 👍 1**: Many people from the older generation are like this, they have many bad habits, because their era produced such people (can't change others, choose to accept, go with the flow, and be more detached, perhaps it can improve one's state of mind). - **Jason4HK** (2026-04-23T05:27:19.000Z): Can only be self-consistent, make more money, make more money!!! At least solve all the problems that money can solve. - **跟顾神反着买 · 2026-04-23T04:14:05.000Z · 👍 1**: Same understanding - **Jason4HK** (2026-04-23T05:27:27.000Z): Thanks for your hard work.
