Back to school, back to school....

to prove to dad I'm not a fool.. got my lunch packed up, my shoes tied tight, I hope I don't get in a fight...

As hard as my classes are, thank God for school. It gets me out of this house and away from Dustin's grandmother. :| Might be horrible, but the woman drives me insane. She made my week off of school in between the quarters stressful and left me quite annoyed very often. That alone could be my only motivation to stay in school (but of course I'm staying for the baby most of all, but it has that nice side effect of getting away from her).

She was upset that my baby shower was held in Indiana where my family is,.. but she knows how poor off my family is and still wasn't doing anything to throw me a baby shower closer and on a day that his side of the family could come... And on my dad's birthday, she was upset and angry that we didn't stay home to make HER brownies. The old bat was actually upset that I visited my family on my dad's birthday celebration when I hadn't even gone into town to see them for over a week because she was keeping us busy here.

And today, although I was away all morning for classes, she's still managed to come into our room many times interrupting my studies angry, nagging and bi+ching about something. Blah.

Did I mention on July 4th she commented to her family (I was present) that she should be able to help us name our baby.... uh, no. You had five of your own to name. *I* am going to have to push this baby out, it is OUR child, WE will name it, and we don't want your help! (If I weren't living under her roof currently, I'd be very much inclined to say exactly that, but I keep my mouth shut out of respect.)

And if she says she's poor one time, I'll spontaneously burst into flames. It is a real slap in the face to those that grew up poor for her to go around saying that. I grew up with one meal a day. She has 2 refrigerators (w/ freezers attached on top), one large freezer, and another freezer in the barn filled with food, along with cupboards and even cabinets in her bathroom filled with food. I just want to scream at her sometimes YOU ARE NOT POOR.

:thumbdown::wall:

Just had to get it off my chest, because she's driving my batty lately! I do love her. She's not a horrible, awful person that intends to make people around her resent her, but she does it unintentionally, and there's only so much you can brush off before you start venting and ranting to someone that will listen!

/rant - must get back to studying

I can understand. It is very hard for a family unit to have to live with anyone else, no matter how much it's necessary. It's a sure way to find out all the things that annoy you about someone!!

wow, some of the things you said sound like my Grandmother. I remember a time where she asked my mom who she was bc she was weird enough to not know her own daughter, than telling everyone at her birthday party that she did not know her. Also the last time i saw her (last month bc she is sick and we don't know what is wrong and she doesn't want to go to the hospital one more time) she demanded that i play a game that she showed me her way. When i didn't she made her fingers into claws and started semi attacking me with them making a weird angry noise while doing that. And when you are trying to something nice for someone she gets jelous or wants something to or if she gives you something you have to give her something in return. :rolleyes:

those sound like dementia symptoms, which does require medical attention. Particularly if she's still driving, etc.

Tessa's grandmother (in law to be? or some such term:p) seems like she's had far too many years of people bowing to her will without challenge. Which is not to say it's Tessa's job to be that challenge:p However, I'd be working on a way out of there as soon as possible. I can't stand those types of environments, and I'd think it would be even worse once there's a child involved.

Believe me, we're trying to get out. We're on waiting lists for rental assistance, Dustin's looking for a job. Problem is, because we are students I'm not sure they'll qualify us for rental assistance.

She's a nice person if you don't live with her.. she's still nosy and pushy, but nice. I'd like her and appreciate her more if I didn't have to live with her. Living with her.. all you hear is her moan, groan, and bitch about every little thing. Ugh.

My mother is always telling me to stand up to her.. but I just can't bring myself to do that while under her roof. Once we are in our own place.. my home, my rules. I won't let her walk all over me.. but right now we have no where else to go, and while I don't think she'd kick us out to be homeless.... I still just don't think it is worth it to create negative/hateful feelings amongst anyone. (Oh, but sometimes I sure would like to let what I really feel known! :p)

I personally don't know all that much about demensia. i guess maybe to some degree i don't know. She is able to function on her owen and do things on her own with out a problem.

Tessa, that is exactly why we don't see her anymore. I hope that everything works out for you and you get the rental assistance. :)
