Ha, ha, ha... wait, was that directed at me?
You’d better watch your step if you think you know who you're dealing with.
I honestly don't get it. It’s this classic male ego trap—the whole "son, your father fought in the war" routine, implying he was some legendary hero. It’s been ten years, for heaven's sake. Why can't you just move on, focus on something else, and address actual current issues? This seems to be stuck in your subconscious, even if he doesn't see it as an issue himself. And if you try to sit him down and explain it? Well, of course, then he'll go out and study history, and suddenly you'll have the chance to loudly declare how much you've contributed to the country. You'll tell him you still harbor resentment and demand that he feels the same way too—we'll see if he actually listens to you! And please, God, let's hope your daughter-in-law isn't a Crnogorka (who just arrived, by the way). I'm genuinely worried she might be the very thing you're trying most desperately to escape!
