My grandma lives with us and she spends a lot of her time on the phone with her sisters. I will be doing something and overhear her say nasty things about my family. She should be greatful because most older people are in nursing homes and were not invted to move in with their children. She has called my mother a lousy housewife and cook. She was making a big issue of the fact that last night when a few friends came to pick me up they had to wait 3 minutes for me. She has said she feels bad for the guy who has to marry me. She thinks my parents should pay for my brother college tuition bill from a school he got basically kicked out of cause he slept late and didn't show up to class and forgot when his exams were. It's just constant talking down about us and I am tired of it.

My parents know I don't appreciate it and that is why I do not talk to her. I don't care who you are but if you say nasty things about my mom or my dad I will not be your friend.

I'm sorry that your own Grandmother would be like that!! Has she always been this way or has it just been in the later years that she has become this way?? I'm like you in that if there is nothing but negative coming from a person I would not spend any time with them either!! I don't know if anyone having a talk with her would do any good unless this is something new that she has started because she is angry about something that has not been worked out!! If this is the norm then I would just tell your parents that as long as she is this way than you will not spend time with her to give her the chance to throw all these negative comments at you!! There is enough negatives in life without dealing with the unnecessary ones, especially from someone that should be there for you in a positive way!! Good Luck!!

her lives not as exciting as it once was and all she has now are u lot. feel sorry for the old bag, she has nothing better to do than ***** about your family who have been so good to her. next time she annoys u sit her down nicely and ask her if shes unhappy with yous, if so u would miss her being around but would understand if she wanted to go into a nursing home, suggest you could talk to your parents about it if she likes, be sly with the old dear, she ll soon shut up and appreciate what she has

You do the same thing sit some where close and talk to one of your friends about how much it sucks to have your grandma live with you and all the things she does. And if she talks to your parents about it then say well I'm just doing what she is doing .

Grandma is a cranky old bat. If I were in this situation, I would talk to her about this and if she doesn't want to stop being so negative and hateful, I would be shopping around for a nursing home. I would not allow someone who disrupts my family or talks sh*t about them to live in my home...grandmother or not.

Ouch! sounds like the average mother in law. I bet she is your dad's mom. Just close your ears and or let it go into one ear and out the other. but you are right, I guess you could talk to your parents about it, I totally agree with you. you can tell your grandma that you can hear her and she is making you feel bad. she really needs to get a life. may by a hobby. or bingo. I know a lot of grandmas who are awful like her. including my mother in law.

be open and honest she has to realise that it wont be tolerated at the edn of the day she dont pay the bills. She has to know that she is either nice or she has to find different place to live

i'm in the EXACT same position. try ignoring her, or tell your dad. Otherwise if she really gets on your nerves, tell her to f*ck off. It's normal though, she is old thats why she is grumpy. Just try to live with it if you can.

Talk to your parents about it. Tell them you don't like the things your grandmother is saying. Perhaps they can speak to her about it.

Obviously your parents don't pay any attention to her. They know she's not right in the mind. Follow in their footsteps.
