My Granny is frankly getting more and more obnoxios the older she gets. She has always tried 2 embarrass people and get attention, and really do anything 2 make herself look more upper class than she is (which drove her to bankruptcy) She came to visit the other day, and well...shes a big woman...really big, and she had fallen, landed on her butt, and had a bruise. She decided we all needed 2 see it, so she dropped her pants in front of me, my dad, my mom, my sis and my fiance to show is her bruise. This was GROSS-nobody wanted to see it, a simple, I fell and hurt my butt would have been more than enough. She has NO social graces anymore, and has recently told me that she has gotten my fiance a present for christmas thats really sexy and she wants 2 embarrass him, which is just wierd coming from a grandmother, she is dying 2 throw me a lingerie shower! I'm basically sick of cringing everytime I'm near her, how do we get her 2 keep her pants on and quit doing lude things for attention?

This is just a thought --- mabe if you follow her around when she comes over (and I mean EVERYTIME!) with a video camera, then break out the tape & show her --- act like it's all normal and everything --- If she really see's how she is... mabe would help. If you don't have a video camera, mabe someone would lend you one. Some people have those personalities that you just can't do anything about. I'm sorry it has to be your grandmother. I suspect this is her way of getting attention (so think of POSITIVE attention to steer her away from stupid stuff) or sit her down & tell her how that behavior makes you feel. Good luck!!

people don't get nicer as they get older. it seems as though any traits they had when they were younger, intensify. unfortunately, there's not much you can do about it. it doesn't sound like confronting her would do much good.

you can't and how she acts isn't a reflection on you except apples don't fall far from trees.
