Author Zona76 Posted November 26, 2007 Author Posted November 26, 2007 I do care for her. But our personalities are complete opposite. One of her rules are nobody disciplines her boys but her... So one day they were bouncing the basketball in the living room Tossing the ball all around. I told them.."You know better than that. What would your Mom say?" She heard me from the other room and started yelling at me for telling them what they couldn't do... (didn't see a thing) I answered her, "Fine.. just don't yell at them yourself when they break something." Without a word to me of apology she comes out and screams at them... I stopped being baby sitter because she goes out every weekend. Stays till 2AM. I was nothing but a free baby sitter. Now the other grandma comes over and does this. She's older than I am. I should keep trying??? This is a woman who thinks nothing of letting her 3 yr old light fireworks. We're talking a street full 4th of July bash. Not sparklers. This is gun powder. I wont go for anymore 4th of July's at her place anymore. AND what they spend would knock your sox off. $1000.00 to light up the street is a mild party. Yep they get all the illegals too. Then she was mad 'cause I wouldn't co-sign another car for her? PWSX3 thanks for your words. you at least make since.
Author Zona76 Posted November 27, 2007 Author Posted November 27, 2007 This is not a bash. I am simply venting. Chris has always been my little girl. But she pulled away from me and went off to do her own thng many many years ago. I have given up on begging for her affection and don't even bother to ask for her attention. I'll get over this. I always do, I simply felt her reaction to my husband putting his arm around my shoulder was uncalled for.
compassion42 Posted November 30, 2007 Posted November 30, 2007 Yes her reaction was a little harsh and surprising but it probably wasn't meant to sound the way it did-she may have momentarily reverted back to her role of being your child and expressed herself without thinking about your feelings like kids often will do. I really hope you can talk to her about how her comment made you feel and work this out.
