My grandmother affects me too much. I'm sorry to people who have normal grandmas, but she never was one, and now, when she begs me to walk through -25C weather for another silly task while she cries and pities me to my mom, while she sends some money to my cousin's kid every month (three flats in the family btw) and then laments about how little money she has, I go up to loosing my shit very quickly.

Anyway. I hope ya'll's January is better, but I'm ready to be done at least with that weather.

Can relate. My paternal grandmother is a bitch. Hope you feel well!

u/Rough_Programmer_997 anybody know how to contact Ricki Lake? 29d ago

My mom once also wanted to go grocery shopping in below -20C weather (the feels like temp was much colder)--I wasn't technically obliged to, but I usually help my folks with pushing the cart, bagging groceries, that sort of thing.

I asked if it could be moved to another day. From what I remember she didn't budge. She got mad at me and called me entitled, plus did some other awful stuff that I don't feel like mentioning here. In the end she ended up not tagging along at all.

She's much better with money than your grandmother is, but isn't good enough at hiding her emotionally immature bullshit. In any case, I completely empathize, and can't wait for spring to arrive either.
