So we are suppose to blog about whatever we choose to for
this week. Well I had to go with my parents and one of my sisters to Wausau
Wisconsin this weekend to visit my grandma. If no one knows where that is in
northern Wisconsin. So my family drove through snow for about six hours. It was
a great time. But not really, why? I’m always envious of the kids who talk
about their grandmas who come to their games and events, who cook really well
and are the people they choose to come see when they are mad at their parents. My
mom always tells me about the times she had with her grandparents and they just
seem so wonderful. My grandma is not one of those grandparents. I mean I’m
grateful for her being around but she just doesn’t understand how to be a
grandma. She was great when we were little, however she doesn’t care about the
older grandchildren at all. I have younger cousins and that’s all she cares
about. It also doesn’t help our cause that we are my mother’s children, because
my grandma has such hate for my mom. Now that we are older we are starting to
notice all these things about her. We catch her in lies, and she cuts you off
and all that type of stuff. I thought grandmas are supposing to listen and not
to tell you’re wrong and be nice. I just want to be that typical grandma
situation with warm baked cookies type of thing. The typical mother-in-law
stereotype fits my grandma almost to the pin. It is really hard to write 300
words for this blog project without it sounding like a rant, a direction manual
on a how to thing, or even an informative thing.
301
Haha way to use that extra sentence at the end to make it 300 words. Anyways, I feel bad that you have to go through this. My grandma has been great to me throughout my whole life, and it would suck for it to be any other way.
ReplyDeleteoh my goodness this sounds awful! it kinda reminded me of the movie Monster-in-law lol hope you have at least some other better, nice, happier family members to visit too tho =]
ReplyDeleteWow.. I'll agree with you though. I wish my grandma fit into the "cookie making" stereotype too. My Grandma Barb is super sarcastic and seemed like a "nazi parent" but then my Grandma Pat is really artsy and runs a little shop for the Humane Society. Both of these grandmas are on my dad's side of the family so that shows just how diverse all Grandmas are, haha!
