I goofed up and I need help making things right again...?

Question

I love my grandma very much to the point that I sometimes joke around with her like she was my best friend. Anyway, I was joking around with her yesterday and she took offense to it. I know I have to change the way I deal with her but I NEVER MEAN TO HURT HER. So my aunt tells me that she doesn't want to see or talk to me again. What do I do? I can't take that! I know I messed up but there's nothing I can do to make it right. :(

Answer 1

WHAT?! You get on well with your grandma but she doesn't want to see you again? It sounds to me like either your grandma is a nutcase who freaks out at small things, or your aunt is stirring things, or your grandma has found your behaviour kind of offensive for a long while and yesterday was just the straw that broke the camel's back. Unless she's one of these crazy ladies who go on Jerry Springer and disown their children/grandchildren, she'll be as upset by the rift as you. What your aunt said is not very helpful - even if your grandma *did* say it - as your aunt she should be acting as intermediary to heal the rift instead of enforcing it (unless of course she's also had enough of your behaviour). Either way, the only thing you can do is to change your behaviour and prove that you've changed. And although it may be hard, don't get pissed off at your grandma if she doesn't accept your apology first time - it may be hard and frustrating, but keep at it. Bring her flowers or chocolates or something as an apology.

Answer 2

so you messed up - we all do at some point in life. maybe, your aunt is trying to put a good scare in you for what you said. if you have gotten along so great with grandma that you feel like she is your best friend, saying you are sorry should come easy - forget what you aunt said, your problem is with grandma, just call her say you're sorry, you messed up, you never meant to hurt, that she is your best friend, besides being your grandma, and it would be hard on you if she was not in your life, because she plays such an important role of what makes you YOU. she'll forgive you.

Answer 3

To allow the matters to cool down, wait for a day or two. Then approach Grandma unhesitatingly, explain yourself very clearly, tell her that you have high respect and love for her and you very much regret for what you have done the other day. Do not argue but seek her forgiveness. She is a mature lady and once you seek her pardon,she will embrace you again.You have to just ignore what your Aunt has been telling you.W hat she says may not be whole truth.Henceforth, be careful in dealing with Grandma.

Answer 4

Write a letter to your grandmother with a big apology (believe me she will read it because all grandparents are curious or nosy) and tell her the same thing that you just told us. Make sure you tell her you love her and you are going to try to show her more respect as your ELDER, then treat her like she is God. You wouldn't joke around with God like you would your best friend would you? Of course not because you will have too much love and respect for him.

Answer 5

That's easy...eventhough your aunt tells you that your grandma doesn't want to talk to you...Grandmas won't be able to resist their apologizing grandsons and grandaughters! If you can't face her right now, send flowers, cakes attached with sorry cards and telling her that you love her so much! That would mean very much to her especially if you'll admit that you're a TOTAL JERK!

Answer 6

Tell your aunt it makes you wonder how your grandma treated her own children when they were growing up and said something she didn't like.

Answer 7

call or go see your grandma, give her a big hug,and tell her one or more of these things/..

I LOVE YOU

I didn't know

I'm SORRY!

Life's to short to have sorrow...'specially with your best friend.
Take the bullet, admit the mistake, take the high road. She'll love you for it.
