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

how about asking her if she is okay before going ahead and bashing her...

Either your grandmother is in her 50s and still spry enough to seem bitchy to you, or you're a real jerk. Actually, either way, you're a jerk for not asking what was up before having a damn fit. Doesn't matter how old someone is, or what personality they have. If they're sleeping more than normal, something is probably wrong with their health.

Today, my grandchild yelled and screamed at me saying I was lazy. I have cancer and am severly depressed by it, and I haven't told them cause I didn't want to worry them. FML Go **** yourself. Odds are if an eldery woman is sleeping a lot they are sick. This isn't some good for nothing teenager, which I'm guessing you are.

Even if she didn't have cancer, where do you get off bitching at your grandma? She's been a matriarch to your family and probably endured more hardship than you ever will.

man, I'm surprised your parents haven't given you the major slaps because of that. "bitching" at your own grandmother?! You must be OUT OF YOUR MIND. Or just ridiculously dumb.

You bitched at your grandmother???? You deserve the cancer, not her.

#10, it's like you're psychic. I agree that maybe you shouldn't be 'bitching out' your grandma, but I also know that some of them aren't the sweet innocent old ladies that people think they are. And if nobody told you... eh, I picked FYL, but only just barely.

Dude. She's your grandmother. Not your mother. You can't bitch out at GRANDMAMAS! And especially not for being LAZY, I assume she's pretty old either way and even without the cancer I know I'd be laying around all the time if I had the opportunity at what I'm assuming her age is near. You deserved that.
