Money: Cheers

Cheers

Today, I spent all day at the hospital with my grandma for some tests. When I drove her back home she decided to thank me with $50. Knowing she is unemployed, I told her I couldn't take a whole $50. She replied with "Ungrateful, just like your mother", then took the money and left. FML

Today, my mom grabbed my phone, said she was taking it because I'd been disrespectful, and hung up my call. I'd been speaking with a work client. This is the gratitude I get for paying all her bills for the past 2 years, all because she's too lazy to get a job. FML

Today, I asked my mother to pay back the $50 she owes me. Rather than paying me back, she raced off to "work". She's been unemployed for 3 years. FML

Today, I took my grandma to the hospital to visit her estranged husband who she hasn't seen in years. After a thoroughly disasterous visit, we're waiting in the carpark and my gran strokes my face and tells me I have a lot of facial hair. I thought she was going to thank me. And I'm a girl. FML

Sticky situation

Today, my grandmother, who I live with, turned the heat off in our house because she went through my private, personal notes on how I wanted to spend my paycheck, and she was mad that I used some of it to help the father of my not-yet-born child, who's struggling financially, make his car payments.

Embezzlement

Today, I found the birthday card my grandma had mailed. Apparently, it contained a gift of $100. Too bad it was in my mom's trash can, opened, with no money. She told my grandma it must have gotten lost in the mail. FML

Today, my grandpa took out the family for dinner and paid for everyone. He paid the bill and my family and I were waiting by the door. I realised I probably should thank him for dinner. I turn around without thinking and give him a big hug and say thanks for dinner Grandpa. It wasn't my grandpa. FML

Today, I drove over an hour to my grandma's house for her birthday party. When she answered the door, her eyes went wide and she said angrily "No, not you!" and slammed the door shut in my face. FML

Today, I enjoyed a lovely family dinner, but my irritating grandma kept trying to buy my purse off me, and kept picking it up to look at it. When I got home I realized all my cash and cigarettes were gone. FML

Today, I was at the reading of my grandma's will. Apparently I was removed from it some time ago, and the £2,500 I would have gotten went to my cheating bitch of an ex-fiancée. It seems my grandma adored her, and never forgave me for "driving her away" from the family. FML

Today, I decided to be nice and "drop" a twenty in my grandma's house for her to find. She injured her back while picking it up. FML

You're greedy if you take it, ungrateful if you don't. You can't win.

You should've accepted, and taken her out to dinner. That way you would both win.

YDI. It's called the government: she's probably either on welfare or social security. How else would she have gotten $50 in the first place?

Apparently Grandma's written the book on ungrateful, I think.

Guys I totally agree with the OP. There is no way in HELL would I EVER take money from my grandmother only if it was for a birthday or Christmas etc. The OP was just being polite. FYL

Eh, don't sweat it, OP. She'll be dead soon.

This is why I always take money if someone offers it to me. I don't see why anyone should get mad if you take something they offer you, and arguing over who gets the money is just stupid.

Just remember that she'll be dead soon, so you won't have to deal with her anymore.

I know the feeling. My grandpa bought me a laptop for school with my dad's help, when I already told him the one I wanted. And the one I wanted was about 3 times better, and $200 cheaper. My dad called me ungrateful because I tried to save my grandpa money.
