Was so close...Follow

Time to move granny to one of those nursing homes. The kind that's usually on the news.

Give me a minute while I think up something bad that happened to me so we can both whine with our silver spoons.

At least my ***** didn't fall off.

Have faith. You'll be married one day as well.

Maybe I'm just a ****, but I still live with my parents (I'm 25) and have to continue to follow their rules (I can't dye my hair, I can't have piercings, and I can't have Tattoos...which sucks because my "dream job" growing up was to be a Tattoo artist...). The reason is I don't pay the bills.

Just think about it, you now get to set the rules for your parents. If they don't like them. . . they can move out
If I was in your shoes, I would make up some really off the wall "rules" and see how they like it.

True, but up until about 8months ago I was unable to find a solid job. Been saving up money with the idea of leaving.

Seriously? Controlling your appearance is what would've broke the camel's back? That should have been the least of the issues.

And THE LAW.

For some people, it's not until later when they realize that those "conservative judgmental hacks" were often looking out for their best interests. No one likes constantly being told what to do, but it's part of life. They are going to end up creating the same types of rules for their children that they resented when they were younger, just like what their parents did. It's a cycle. The only difference is, the maturity age before people realize that they need to grow up varies.

While I disagree with Alma, what Guenny did to Sandinmygums is not all that different.

No, she's been going to that church as long as I can remember. She's a crazy conservative, that's all there is to it. No sudden change there.

My grandmother never really cooked dinners/lunches unless it was a family meal. My mother cooks everything all the time. When my mom and dad moved in, they started cooking meals for my Uncle rather than my grandmother who just purchased Taco Bell, KFC, and various frozen meals. It started with my Grandmother randomly complaining to my mother that she goes to the grocery store too often. Well, obviously she went more than my grandmother because my grandmother never cooked anything in the house. Then it moved on to my Grandmother coming over, and making comments like "You know you can hire a maid to clean the house if you don't have time..." My mom cleaned the house, did the dishes, cleaned my uncle's room and scrubbed his bathroom all the time. The house was just as clean as when my grandmother lived there.

Then during election season my grandmother came over to my parents house and started putting up various political signs. My parents and my grandmother differ quite a bit on their political positions. My grandmother being a Tea Party member, Birther Sympathizer, Glenn Beck worshiper, etc. And my parents being more moderate. My mother took them down, and asked her not to put them up again. So instead my grandmother put them in the neighbor's yard (who took them down shortly after). This made my grandmother even more mad, not being able to put signs up in what used to be her yard. (All the time she has a condo by the lake she lives in, she only visited to annoy my mother).

So in the end, it looks like my parents are going to temporarily live with me. But my mom's mom has an apartment that they are going to move into in a month or so. My other grandmother is a much nicer person. She gets along well with my father.

Oh, and her stepson, my paralyzed uncle, is in his 40s. He's relatively self reliant, he has very limited control over the left side of his body, so he can get himself around and get himself drinks (pre-bottled with closable nipple things). He's in no real danger of being hurt by my grandmother. But my parents did care for him, and are disappointed that he is no longer able to be part of the family due to my grandmother. The only real danger he faces is a greedy woman finding out how much money he gets from the lawsuit. He was a woman's man, and a cute face and breasts blinds him pretty easily. If he were to fall for the wrong woman who only wanted him for the money, he could be in danger. That's why my parents and grandmother kept the actual settlement values a secret. Very few people know them, to protect him.

Yeah but Alma made the mistake of having the most recent post when I came across this thread; it's completely different than with Guenny.

Though I see your point, I was applying a double standard in criticizing Alma and not Guenny.

I'm confuzzled. Who's house is it? So your parents had a house and gave it to you. And your grandmother had a house and gave it to your parents. On top of that your grandmother has a condo she lives in instead of the house. But now she's decided to boot your parents from the house they were living in (I'm assuming it's still owned by granny?) because they don't do things the way she likes?

Is that it? Or am I missing something?


And did your parents just get screwed over on the whole "musical homes" bit? Or is it just me? If your grandmother actually deeded the home to them, she couldn't kick them out, could she? So they deeded your their home, and granny just lets them live in her home, all the while keeping the deed *and* owning her own condo? That seems like a semi-unintelligent thing to do. Is the IRS after them or something, so they can't have any assets? That's the only reason I can think of for doing that.


Regardless though. If granny owns the home, then its her home. If she wants to put up political signs on her yard, she can. Unless there's some kind of rental/usage agreement I suppose. But I'm guessing that's not the case. It all seems pretty darn chaotic to me.
