I can try, but it's really hard. They're always pushing me to get a job and expecting me to ask them for money. It drives me nuts, because at 40 years old, I DON'T ask them for money. My 39-year-old sister is another matter. She asks all the time, and they have no problem giving it to her. I'm not jealous of that situation. It's just an example of how they'll give money to a daughter who makes $100k a year but are paranoid that their unemployed and disabled daughter would ask for so much as a penny from them. It's like that's all they think about!
Whew, what a rant. I guess I could set up boundaries where they can't discuss me finding a job. It's none of their business.
