Okay so like yesterday I told you all that my Grandmother refused to pay my tuition after I told her "No" to a banana split she wanted to taste. She told me I was a brat and that she had been kind enough to take me to dinner and tell me she was paying my tuition, but when I told her she couldn't taste my banana split she thought I was too spoiled. So today I tried to apologize to her, and brought her some flowers. The two of us sat down over brownies to discuss my anger issues. We finally started getting along and she told me she was considering paying my tuition again for Fall. There was one brownie left and I hadn't eaten anything for 2 hours, so I was hungry. I grabbed it and my Grandmother joked "Now Katie, you're not gonna eat that whole brownie without giving me a taste are you? Remember the banana split incident?" I laughed too, and then ate the brownie whole. My Grandmother's face dropped in disgust and she scolded me for being a rude granddaughter.

I told her to lighten the hell up, that it was a joke. Then as I was talking brownie crumbs flew out of my mouth and hit her glasses, so she told me to leave. That I was crude and disgusting, and also that I needed to lose weight with the diet I was showcasing her. I told her "Come on! It was just a stupid fycking brownie! Can't you pay my tuition???" She told me no, and to leave before she called my parents. Why is my Grandmother so damn uptight?

Here we go again. The same old, tired and lame totally made up fictional stories. Please get a life. EVERYONE: Read all of this person's questions and then also look at her posting the same old made up stories with the same description of herself, the same stories and the same characters under Mrs. McBloo. She is lieing and just baiting everyone here and getting off on the fat that you all think these are real questions and not made up crap. Very pathetic. ALL OF THIS IS FICTION. The pathetic part is that you all just fell for another one of her novellas. lol

I hate to say it, sounds like your grandmother is right! It sounds like she bought you dinner, she obviously didn't want a whole dessert to herself, would it have killed you to share a little of yours? How many brownies were present before you ate the last one? You say you brought flowers, were the brownies provided by you as well?

My point is grandparents are only here for a short time in our lives! They have lived a long life, raised your parents, and if your lucky enough to have them around - and indeed willing to invest in your future (paying for tuition), you need to indulge them while you can. They ask for little in return, but sharing a bit of that dessert that she paid for is a true sign of your appreciation, and worth much more to her then the money she was about to shell out for you! Believe me, the day will come, may it be tomorrow, next year, or 20 years from now, you will regret not showing more appreciation for all they have done for you when they were around..

well hon have you tried getting a job, your grandmother doesn't have to pay your tuition, she's doing you a favour and i think you should realise which side your bread is buttered on. take a step back put yourself in her shoes. Look at it from her point of view. You need to be more appreciative, and from reading what you've written it puts you in a very bad light. act responsible and show that you REALLY appreciate what she has done and how hard you are willing to work for what she will do in the future. anyhow all the best.

Heard of "Brownie Points". Try and rake some up with your granny. Sometimes it's just better to suck it up and take a few punches to get what you really want. Play nice with her, surprise her with a banana split, say you felt sorry about eating that brownie last time and bring her giant chocolate chip cookie. Suck up is what I say, If she's paying your tuition I say do it.

well, I'll tell you the truth. you absolutely, have no respect or what soever. I wouldn't pay a dime for your tuition if I were her too. I would make you work for it, every penney that goes to your tuition. You're probably used to getting things from your parents without a problem. if so, your parents raised an idiot. learn to respect the elders or else she'll treat you like that for the rest of you selfish life.

Well, it sounds to me like grandma is a controlling bytch. I have no disrespect for grandmas. I love my grandma...she is one of the most amazing women ever. But honey, grandma sounds like she's just too controlling. From your story it sounds like grandma has offered to pay your tuition and trying to manipulate you into being nice to her because she can't get any respect any other way. The older generation with a whole bunch of money like that always act like jerks when it comes to that kind of thing. They're not genuine and think that they deserve everything because they're older than dirt. Dude, I would have spit the brownie in her face.

Ok...I personally would have given her a bite of my banana split, especially since she was taking me out to dinner, and also paying my tuition. On the next day when you went back, and you took the brownie, knowing how touchy she was I would have given her some of the brownie, and when she started to yell, I def. would not have swore at her, for peat's sake! she was, at one time, willing to pay your tuition! You should get a job and pay for it yourself, and please don't swear at your new teacher if he gives you a F! In my personal opinion it sounds like you need to go to manner class!

You just don't get it do you. You do not have any respect for your elders. You need to grow up and stop thinking of yourself for once, that is what she is trying to teach you. Get a job and pay for your own tuition. Then maybe you will actually appreciate something, cause apparently you don't.

Sweetie; I'm a grandma also and if one of my grandkids talked to me in that language/filth you just wrote, it would be more than telling you to leave...as I see it if you have the audacity to tell her no then she has the same right. Get a job or student loan and pay for your own college...and she's right you are a Brat!
