Talked to a relative today. Told him I'd done riding mower maintenance, ordered new filters & fluids for tractor maintenance, fertilized lawn, negotiated w excavator & surveyor, and taken apart rusted up dump spreader and ordered new parts. He criticized me for letting it rust.

2/ I explained that farmhands had done it. He criticized me for not managing farmhands up to his (non-farming) standards. I explained that this was in 2016, when I was working 60 hr weeks in MA, commuting 15 hrs/week, and working a second job on weekends.

3/ He criticized me for not fixing it in 2017. That was the year I had three foster kids in the house. He circled back to criticizing me for not supervising my farm hands. Also, am I maintaining the tractor well enough? YOU CAN'T SKIP A YEAR!!!

4/ Somewhere in there his cell phone started dropping out (the call had gotten disconnected earlier). I said "I can't hear you; can you hear me?". I was criticized for pretending that there were phone problems.

5/ It's basically that Paul Sr / Paul Jr throwing chair meme, except if I get upset I get criticized for being rude and/or over sensitive.

6/ At least the books are published now. I was getting quite sick of being criticized for taking too long with them.

Replying to @MorlockP
This "relative" sounds like an older one, perhaps directly above you in the family tree.
