I'd like to start off by saying that I actually remembered everything that I had written earlier and applied it, so I'm happy about that.  However, my boyfriend's mom started doing her thing again. Yesturday his grandmother (her mother) even told her to cut it out and that she was being childish about it all. Here's how today went with her so far…

My boyfriend and I came downstairs later then usual and we started making our breakfast, she comes in all smiley and announces that we're all going to Six Flags on Saturday and Monday. And when she said we, she meant everyone in the house except me and my boyfriend, then his grandma volunteered to stay home  🙂  So whatever, me and my boyfriend get to spend a day at home with his grandma without any kids running around, sounds better then going to Six Flags to me. Once I finished eating she had me watch the baby while she went upstairs and did whatever it is that she does. Basically the whole event ended with her talking about how lazy I am, and how I don't do anything all day and how dirty I am because I never do laundry, I never clean the house and I never shower, and how she doesn't see why I eat so much and why I'm so fat because I don't do anything all day, so I shouldn't eat because I'm not using up any energy, and how I just sit upstairs in the apartment all day and never socialize with anyone. So I went upstairs to just relax and think a bit and she dropped laundry off near the door, I thought it was my laundry that I had somehow forgotten about…nope! It was my boyfriend's brother's laundry (he's 14).

After that I came to truly realize something…she's a bitch. She is your friend whenever it suits her. I don't know why but whenever she says those things it hurts me, I know that what she is saying is lies, but it still hurts me a lot. To me I do my fair share of work, I pay rent and all that, can't she just mind her own business? Now I know why everyone in the house leaves as much as possible and when they're here they socialize as little as possible. When I first got here I honestly thought that since this family is an actual family then they would spend time together and all that; kind of like in my family. But they don't, their lives revolve around the t.v. when they're here and then they're off doing something away from the house, the grandma cooks a large meal and if you're home then you eat, if not then the food is there when you get home. Is this what normal American families are like? They come and go when it suits them, they eat whenever they feel like it and the most socializing they do with their family is sitting around the t.v. or when they get in trouble. They don't even have a dinning room, they don't have a dinning room table or even a coffee table, to me it is just very strange and sad that they don't even have one meal together.

Sorry, started to ramble a bit, but I guess the point is, you can't please everyone and you can't change anyone. Know that I think about it, I feel kind of sorry for the family.

    Ah, of course it hurts. Sounds awful, the negativity. My family's like that-though it's only me [age 15,] my working dad, my "retired" mother [psh], and our…dog [of which, apparently to my mom, deserves to be in our "family" more than I do.]

    But we're not exactly close knit either, probably because I distance myself away from them [leaving my father and my mother off to fend with themselves,] but our isolation from each other leaves us clueless about each others' worlds.

     

    I don't remember the last meal we ate at a normal table, together as a 3-person family. Thanksgiving isn't really all that family-friendly anymore, either.

    I suppose it depends on the situation, as you feel sorry for such families, I envy families that can love each other so, that can trust each other, that's actually willing to spend their lives together.

    I wonder if "being a bitch" would be a defense mechanism to reject negativity [pain, insults, or of the such?] from opposing figures. Perhaps, in some cases it would be.

     

    Have a great day, GetBetter.  🙂
