Today, it's been one week since my demented grandma babysat my five-year-old daughter while my husband took me to a fancy restaurant. Now she's taken to screaming and calling me a "damn commie" whenever I discipline or say no to her. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, my psycho grandma yelled at me for being an "immature brat" by not offering to wash the dishes after dinner. I reminded her that when I offered last time, she raged at me for being "condescending." She responded by faking a heart attack and getting me indefinitely grounded. FML
Today, after my mom moved our senile grandma in with us rather than find her a care home, she wakes up screaming at least once a night, and usually screams for a good few minutes. Then this morning she started throwing plates at me because she thought I was a criminal. It's only been four days. FML
Today, I informed my daughter-in-law that I’m a granny, not an unpaid, on-call 24/7 babysitter, and no, I will not be babysitting her kids all day so she can go to an all-day brunch with her similarly selfish girlfriends. She threw an actual tantrum and threatened to put me in a home. FML
Today, my babysitter called to inform me that my grandfather is stalking her. FML
Today, my daughter apparently has had enough of my mother-in-law's favoritism and constant bashing of me by telling her, "Grandma, might I highly recommend death at this point?" She's 7. FML
Today, I was on the phone with my senile grandma, when I told her I had to go because I had an appointment at the clinic. For some reason, she assumed I was talking about an abortion clinic, and started raging at me and calling me a murderer. FML
Today, my grandma is refusing to talk to me because I didn't answer her phone calls while we were at a parade. I was in it. FML
Today, I went to see my grandmother. She has Alzheimer's and doesn't remember me sometimes, and today she thought I was her sister and that I was trying to steal my grandfather from her. She hit me with a cane and called me a slut. FML
Today, I went over to confront my parents about how my siblings always get to visit and all I do when I’m over is work on their house or take care of grandma. My mom was very upset. Then she snuck out with my sister, leaving me to take care of grandma until she got back. FML
Today, I'm spending time with my granny, with whom I'm supposed to live with for a few weeks. I've noticed that she repeats the last word of every sentence I say, and now I'm wondering how it's possible for me to now be so horrible that I want to punch a sweet 92-year-old lady in the head. FML

Why would you let your demented grandma babysit your kid? That's just asking for trouble....

Nothing a belt won't cure.

As someone who grew up during the end of the cold war, I kind of miss hearing "damn commie" as a generic insult. Your daughter is keeping the dream alive!

You should never have asked her to look after your kid if you knew she was a bit crazy .it's inconsiderate to do so ! Do you really care about your child ?

I didn't realize Fox News existed in the 50's.

I really hope you are doing more then just grounding that child. Spank her, take away things that she cares about. if I were to say something like that to my mom at that age, I would have a red ass from getting spanked with a spoon, then go to a room with nothing but toys (no video games, TV, ect.) and have to stay there for the rest of the night. Also if you knew your grandma was like that then why take your daughter there? Wouldn't paying $20 for a babysitter have been good enough? At least your kid wouldn't be calling you a commie.

So, there's this really neat think called spanking. If that doesn't work, I pray you have belts.

I'm guessing grandmas getting a restraining order or she won't EVER be babysitting again.
