im 15 & i usually call my grandma every few days. everytime i called, no answer. she is busy & hanging out with friends. i sit by the phone everyday for her to call. she doesnt call. i feel like my life is being wasted. everyday is wasted cuz she doesnt call. so now i havent called her for ten days. i never go that long without calling her. i dont want to be needy. i want her to call me for once. do you think she is wondering why i havent called? i usually call more than every ten days. now im crying right now cuz i miss her. i want her to come to me. now im stuck here waiting for something that will never happen.

wow here is a reversal. usually it is the grandparents wanting to hear from the grandkids. how nice of you to think of her so much and to keep in touch. remember though that grandma does have a life of her own and i am sure she wants you to have your own life as well. i think she would hate it that you feel your life is wasting away waiting on her to call. try to go on with your day to days and spend some time with your folks and friends. give her a call at her bedtime and tell her you thought of her today and just wanted to say goodnight and sweet dreams. ask her about her day and tell her you love talking to her and what would the best time to call so that you are not interupting her. first though have you checked with other family to see if they have talked to her? make sure she is ok and all that.
good luck. do not despair she just has a life of her own with people her own age and that is a good thing.

I never had a relationship with my grandparents at all so this question you're asking sounds totally creepy and needy for some reason....but you seem really attached to your grandmother.

You call her everyday and she doesn't answer that often. Give her a break (I'm not trying to be negative). You've waited for ten days and you miss the relationship.

If she lives close enough for you to visit, go visit her and talk with her about it. Tell her how you feel and how it's affecting you and making you feel. Ask her why she's not been answering your calls and demand the truth - it might hurt, it might not, but either way prepare yourself for the truth because it can hurt.

And if you don't live close to your grandmother at all, then talk to a parent or close friend or relative about it. Maybe that would make you feel better.

It also seems like you're becoming needy and unstable from loss of contact. To prevent it from getting worse, find a hobby or two...or three. Just keep yourself preoccupied and busy yourself from calling. It's better to be out having fun then letting life pass you by. Besides, everything happens for a reason and those things always find a way to be solved and resolved.

You should show this posting to your grandma. It seems that you are very lonely girl or boy who is close to her/his grandma. She might not even realize how much you enjoy talking to her. So you should tell her how you feel. Also where are your parents? How come you are so close to your grandma but not mam or dad? You should make some friends and keep yourself busy. Your grandma has friends and she enjoys their company. Why do you want your grandma be unhappy and sit at home every day waiting your call? You should be happy that your grandma is active no matter how old she is. She still loves you and thinks about you all the time, even if you don't talk.

I don't think you hate your grandmom. Apperently, your feeling threatened becasue all of a sudden, she has less time for you, right? I'll bet you're used to being very close to your grandmother and seeing her all the time.

Don't beat yourself up about it. Your grandmother is a senior citizen, and she has a life outside of her family circle. Obviously, your're picking a time to call her when she is usually out with her friends.

Just understand that she needs the companship of friends that are around her age. Your grandmother is at a time in her life when all of her childhood and adulthood friends are going to start passing on from her with time. People she knows are going to start dying around her, if they aren't allready.

Also realize that she still loves you, no matter what. You're her granddaugher. Don't wait around the phone all day waiting for her to call you. Go out and have fun. Enjoy your adolescence! call your grandmom, or go over there is she lives close, and schedule some time to be with her, like going to lunch or hanging out and watching a movie together. I'm sure she will enjoy spending time with you too.

I doubt she has been avoiding you intentionally. Just keep in mind that while she wants to remain close to you, she needs her space and you need yours.

It sounds like your to dependent on your Grandma. Its healthy to love and miss her. But your being obsessive over her. Please dont' take that offensively, but just like you she's an individual, she has a life and she's trying to make the most of it. Which is what you should be doing. Shift your focus from her to doing things with friends, getting ready to take drivers ed, school work, plans for the future. Call your Grandma once weekly to say hi, but if she's not there or you don't talk to her every week don't panic about it. She still loves you, and she's not going to be mad because you don't call everyday. And as far as her calling, don't wait around for her to do it. Get an answering machine or voicemail and if she calls then she can leave a message if you aren't home. Then you can get back to her.
Don't live your life for someone else, live it for you. Family is important, but don't let yourself become overly dependent on them. Because for one thing it gets trying for them, and for another they won't be around forever, and when that happens you need to be able to stand on your own to feet.

You need to find friends and a teenagers life. Your grandma obviously has one and you need to also. If you need to then call her and then go out and find someone your own age to chat with. You are being very needy right now and you just need to get outside and get your own life. Let your grandma enjoy hers. It is okay to only call once a week or so just to catch up. Go be a teenager, just stay out of trouble doing it.
