Question

grandmother talks to my uncle and i talk at the same time
than all the sudent she gets angry and yells and screems at me

Answer 1

Not nice to interrupt Grandma. Very rude. I'd be mad at you, too. You should respect her, and wait your turn to speak.

Answer 2

Lots of reasons why. You're very observant--you notice things. that's really good! So there's too many reasons for me to begin to give you the right one. So here's some help. Ask yourself:
Am I speaking in answer to a question directed to someone else (not to me)?
Am I speaking while someone else is speaking (interrupting)?
Are the things I'm saying respectful of the people around me or am I showing off, or mouthing off?

Answer yes to any of these and you can understand your grandmother's anger. It would be about you.
Answer no, and the problem's probably about her.

If you are speaking when spoken to, and being respectful in your words and voice, then it's possible that your grandmother feels threatened by your level of manners and respect that she cannot match--and so gets mad. Or if your insights and sharing are at a level beyond what she had thought of, and again she feels threatened by it, she'll probably get mad. Make sense?

The question to ask yourself when faced with someone's anger is: Is this about them or about me? If it's their problem, then be careful. If it's yours, then do something about it. Sometimes the best thing to do is to really listen to what she's saying. And repeat back to her what you hear her saying. Sounds like you're mad at me, Granny. Sounds like you're really upset about that. Sounds like you are___ Fill in the blank. Before you ever talk about you--talk about them. People get over being mad when they feel listened to. It might help.

Then again might not. Like I said there's a million possibilities.

Answer 3

Because it is rude to interupt. This is going to sound mean but just because ur a kid doesn't mean her world revalves around you .You should have some respect for her and ur uncle and wait untill you have a chance to speak unless it is something very important. and if you are old enough to ask this on here and mature enough then you should already know this. Have some respect child.

Answer 4

well first of all some older people think its rude for kids to intrude on adults conversation. And also its really hard for older people to follow serveral people talking at the same time. It gets very confussing to them and they get angry because they are actually frustrated with themselves. Slow down and if you have something to say try "excuse me" then she will let you know if she wants your input. Its basically respect

Answer 5

lol well most people not like to be interputed while they are talking. or are u saying when u talk to some one else at the same time? umm maybe she feels like ur uncle cant pay attention to her when ur talking? or do you mean she gets mad when u talk to her and ur uncle also? maybe she is the type of person who hates when people but in to a convo that isnt ment for them to be in.
i dont know sorry she yells at you tho :)

Answer 6

It's an old fashioned thing called "respect". More specifically respecting your elders. My parents and grandparents taught us that you don't speak unless spoken too or you need to ask something and only when you have their attention first. I still pay this respect to them and I'm 30 years old. They are still my elders after all.

Answer 7

Probably feels you're being rude by interrupting. Wait your turn and you won't get yelled at. Respect your elders.

Answer 8

Two reasons...

One, it's considered rude - and second, it's disrespectful...

After all, you are supposed to RESPECT your elders - just let her finish what she's saying, and then jump in with your two cents worth...

Unless you're trying to tell her that the house is on fire - THEN you are justified by interrupting ;);););)

Answer 9

Grandparents believe that grown folks conversations should not be interupted! She is just old fashion. Especially if its one of those advice giving conversations. Wait until you are spoken to, just for safety conserns ! :)

Answer 10

She is older than you and expects you to listen respectfully and not to speak unless you are spoken to. It's an old-fashioned way of looking at things, but it's probably how she was raised.
