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

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Same thing different taste
The first step is being able to admit it
Today, my grandmother hates me. So much so that I've become a rotten, desperate, and overall evil person with no thoughts and considerations towards other people. My family doesn't know this, but I can never undo the damage she has done to me since birth (as she raised me). I only care about my own well-being, nothing else. FML
Happy family
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
Quality family time
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, I decided to spend a few days at my grandma's house, to help her clean the place up a bit. So far, she's given me a "no masturbating under my roof" talk, used multiple racist slurs, and yelled "QUIET DOWN!" when I so much as sneezed in the next room. FML
Bad influence
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
Enough is enough
Today, I was confiding in my grandma about how lonely I am and how everything in my life seems to be falling apart. While I was in mid-sentence, she rolled her eyes and made a show of removing her hearing aid. FML
Never? NEVER?!
Today, I had a fight with my grandma again with whom I've been living for four years due to college hostel being below par. She blamed me for destroying her kitchen equipment by extensively cooking, especially at night. I've never placed a foot inside her kitchen since the beginning. FML
Today, my grandmother told me to say "sofa king retarded" really fast. Not only did it take me several attempts to figure out what it meant, I'm now grounded by my mother for having a foul mouth. FML
Grandma rocks!
Today, I decided to be nice and pay a visit to my grandma. We ended up playing Scrabble. In between passing wind that smelled like rotting eggs, she kept playing the filthiest words she could, and yelled at me whenever I checked to see if they were in the Scrabble dictionary. FML
Dementia
Today, just like every day for the past two weeks, my mother has told me just how much she doesn't want me to move out. I, once again, have had to remind her that she isn't the one I'm trying to get away from. I'm not a fan of being repeatedly smacked with a coffee mug by my 78-year-old grandma. FML

Admit it, you just tried repeating the last word of every sentence.

It is difficult I think to live with people who do things that annoy you, well stressful. She might just be trying to get the sentence straight in her head. Apparently repeating the last thing (when the person pauses) in a conversation, is a way of getting that person to keep talkng. If I don't know what to say, I do that. E.g.: Person A: "and then he told me I did really well!" Me: "Did really well?" Person A: "Yes, I climbed the climbing wall really quickly and.... etc."

It's better then having her repeat every sentence you say. Be thankful things could've been worse.

It can be really hard to deal with older people when they are forgetful or they do things like repeating things a number of times. I felt like the worst granddaughter in the world at one point bc my grandma (who took me in and let me stay on her couch till I got established in the new area) had been asking me the same questions or telling me the same thing multiple times a day and couldn't remember it. She was driving me crazy to the point I had to "disappear" for two days just to relax so I didn't say or do something I regretted. She freaked out thinking I abandoned her when in fact she just didn't remember me telling her I was going to a friend's house and they don't get cell service in the mountains. It gets frustrating but it doesn't make you a bad person.
