Family, Awkward, Depression, Cancer and Grandparents: Get up!

Get up!

By Casino - 02/04/2009 01:17 - United States

Today, I bitched out my grandmother, who lives with my family, for being lazy and laying in bed until 6-7pm for the past month. When I was done, she told me she had been diagnosed with cancer and was depressed because of it. Nobody had bothered to tell me. FML

Today, after months of taking care of my grandma after a surgery, the doctors gave her a clean bill of health and I finally got to sleep in my own bed. She passed away while I was at home. FML

Today, I got fed up with my neighbor who has been coughing, night and day, for six months. I rang at her door to tell her about several remedies I know of to help, so I could sleep. I thus found out she has lung cancer. FML

Today, I'm taking care of my bedridden, 94-year-old grandma. She woke me up at 6 a.m. only to tell me her UTI is still there. Later, she made me interrupt my 15-minute-dinner a total of 4 times because she wanted things like "more lotion in her buttcrack." FML

Today, without telling me, my mom dropped me off at my grandmother's house, and drove off. Now I'm supposed to spend the next month with her. Guess she forgot my grandma died six weeks ago. FML

To each their own emergency

Today, I had to drive my grandmother to the emergency room. I periodically tried to call my parents but neither of them picked up, even when I called the house. We sat there for 6 hours and still no one took her to a room, and no response. Mom finally called back, only to tell me to get her a pack of cigarettes. FML

Today, my grandmother died. No one called me to let me know she passed. I found out because people kept writing RIP on her Facebook wall. My siblings and I weren't even mentioned in her obituary with the other grandchildren, but they did remember to mention her dog. FML

Today, my mom hadn't talked to me for 5 days, so worried sick I called my grandpa. She's been in jail, and no one cared to inform me. Great. FML

Today, I had to cancel my plans to go see my grandma, because I wasn't feeling too well. I called her to apologize, but she had trouble remembering who I was. When I told her my name, she said "Oh, the FAT one." Yes grandma, the fat one. FML

Today, I told my grandmother I was planning a trip to take my newborn son to meet his great-great-grandfather before it was too late. She had a guilty expression on her face. My great-grandfather died 4 months ago and my family forgot to tell me. FML

Today, I watched my grandmother's funeral on a webcam. She died at 95 because the overwhelmed hospital kept putting back her pacemaker operation. I hadn't seen her in two years. Fuck Covid. FML

I think people are being a weee bit harsh on you about the respect the elders thing. People lose their cool sometimes and people don't deserve respect based on how long they've been able to stick it out on this planet.

man, you bitched out your grandmother? jeez. neither you nor your parent would be here without her. nice job. even if she pissed me off royally, i would never bitch at my g-ma for being lazy. she was born in the depression and raised 4 kids living off of child support because she had cancer after she had the fourth child, and the last, and couldnt work. im sure that your gramma has had around the same history, living through terrible times. you should have some respect, man. cancer sucks, and how the hell would you not have known? you should be mad, but not at your gramma. at yourself. your should pay more attention to your loved ones. how can you not notice doctor visits, chemo, and meds? not to mention, how the hell could you not put it together that she was depressed or sick? if she was sleeping for that long, then you MUST HAVE NOTICED THAT SOMETHING WAS WRONG!

she's your grandmother you disrespectful schmuck! have some respect for her! if she wants to lay in bed for a week straight, you better kiss her ass and call it candy, all while bringing her iced tea and cookies. you are the grandson, nobody gives a shit what you think anyway. i hope she feels better, poor thing, when my grandmother DIED from cancer that had spread to her liver, she was in bed all day because of depression. go hug her, you moron.

YOU REALLY DESERVE IT. UMM This woman has probably lived more than 5 decades before you, I think she deserves a break. Being lazy? She's old. She did fulfilled her life, and now YOU feel that your grandmother who has live MORE than you is lazy? YOU EFFIN DESERVE IT. I hope your grandma will be able to beat cancer...and beat you.
