So, I was over at my grandparent's house with one of my parents, (I won't specify which) and we were playing a board game. (exciting, I know)
Anyways, at some point during the game, my parent said something along the lines of "You're a terrible player." in a joke-like tone. I said "Well, you're a terrible (parent)!" I said it in a completely tease-y way, with no actual hint of sincerity whatsoever. I thought nothing of it, until my parent and I got in the car and left.
As soon as my grandmother shut the front door, my parent's personality changed in an instant. They just became so bitter and spiteful towards me. They wouldn't talk to me because of what I said. I asked them why, and that's why. I kept on saying that it was a joke, it was a joke, I was not being serious at all, but they wouldn't respond to me, only hearing what they wanted to hear. Also, just after they pulled out of the driveway, my parent stopped the car and told me to get out. I didn't. I regret not doing it to go tell my grandparents how they were acting towards me.
I also told them that they were taking this way too seriously. "Well, that's your opinion." they told me. I wanted to tell them that they were still taking this singular joke way too seriously, and that they were just trying to get as much mileage add possible out of this by guilt-tripping their own goddamn son.
Edit: Just went to talk to my parent. I suggested once again that just maybe they were overreacting. But, of course, all they do is redirect the conversation back to me and how that's "just my opinion". Grow the fuck up and just accept that you were in the wrong here.
This is not my rant
