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

Sheesh. Lazy old bitch. I mean, just lying in bed there wallowing in her own pity. We all know mothers in general (even grandmothers), are here to serve unselfishly the younger generations. I mean she is in bed so she could at least do some sewing or something. You know, mend something. I mean some people. Just got no values today. For anyone who didn't get it that was sarcasm.

How could you be so disrespectful to your grandmother?

Unbelievable. Do you have any idea how much of a fuckstain you are? The simple fact that she's EARNED HER DAMN RIGHT TO SLEEP ANYTIME SHE WANTS TO (SICK or NOT) should be COMMON SENSE. The woman has EARNED her right to do as she damn well pleases. The word GRANDMOTHER says she's already paid her friggin' dues, you lowlife. Have a little respect for those who have cleared the path for your ungrateful ass to even be here to post this crap. Grow up - she certainly deserves better than you for a grandchild, but I suppose there has to be at least ONE dumbass in every family, and you win.

Tell her that depression will make her body weaken faster, and that she's better off being optimistic and enjoying the rest of her life. If she's optimistic, it'll make her body work harder to fight off the cancer. I think you did the right thing.

How could you say that to any senior?! And she is your grandmother! Totally disrespectful. A lot of old people are nice... I work part time in the library, and it's usually the old people who'd bother thanking you for helping them locate a book..
