A confession

Not very juicy, but anyway...my grandma has officially pissed me off.  Obviously, DH and I have no kids and I'm not pregnant and she won't effing LET.IT.GO!  This was her fb status Thursday:

"Joyce ______ has a new great grandson Bryley ___ born at 11:03.  Mom and baby are doing well.  SEE THIS JAMIE????  AND JOYCE IS YOUNGER THAN I AM AND SHE IS A GREAT GRANDMOTHER NOW.  JUST SAYING".

Yes, she even used caps!  And just saying what?  That you're being hateful?   She goes on to say she just posted it to show me and that I'm 28 and been married over a year so what's the holdup.  SO FVCKING WHAT?!?  I'm 28--not 48, stop acting like I'm running out of time.

I've decided that, once I'm pregnant, she has solidified her spot as being the last person we tell.

Re: A confession

  • Umm, wow. Is this the same grandma that makes comments about stuff like this on your wall/status updates/photos/etc.?

    I'm sorry she did that. Luckily my family hasn't done that, but I've had other people say/do some nasty things. A few people in DH's family/social circle have made comments about it, and some of them almost make it sound like it's all MY fault we haven't had kids yet, and that Jake should blame me or something. I hate people, and I swear none of them will be allowed to see my children for any serious length of time when I do have them.

    Yep, same one.  My other grandma is much more sane than this one and she doesn't have a fb haha.  I just get so damn tired of people and their rude/nosey/offensive comments.  Sorry you have to deal with the same kind of thing.  Some people suck.
  • I believe I'd defriend granny, honestly.

    I was telling my sister how much it pissed me off and she said she saw it too and she's probably going to defriend her.  I felt bad doing that, but maybe not such a bad idea....

    I really think you should. She's proved that she obviously can't handle it like a grown-up, which is ridiculous considering her age. At the very least, I'd lock down my profile to where she couldn't see photos, wall, or status updates.

    Blocking photos and status updates from her is a great idea, I hadn't thought of that.  Thanks Smile

    You're welcome! I'm just totally appalled - I can't believe your own grandma is treating you like that! You just enjoy taking things at your own pace and doing things your own way. :) 

  • Good grief. What is wrong with people? I'm sorry she is hateful to you.

    My friend and I were just having this conversation yesterday. Her mom called her and told her she should think about freezing some of her eggs. She's 32 btw. Her mom then goes onto to say, "well you know your dad never got to see you walk down the aisle, the least you can do is give me a grandchild before I die." Indifferent Filter button filter button.

  • Thanks for being appalled for me, bluekid.  It makes me feel better knowing I'm not over reacting and that my grandma's just being nutso :)

    Allison--wtf?  Who in their right mind says that, especially to their own daughter??  Some people definitely have no filter...or common sense for that matter.

    Jamie-You can always hide your gma's status update if you don't want to cause family drama by defriendig her.

    OR just be like 'well gma I like butt sex sooooo much better'.

  • Wow Jamie that really sucks.  I just don't understand people and why they say the things they say.  It makes no sense to me.  Oh and I like cc's last idea - bwahahaha.

    Bahaha!  Ironically enough, the butt sex response is what DH sometimes tells people when they ask him when we're going to have kids.  One time I asked him if he followed it up with "just kidding".  He said no, why should I?  Ummm great, so now his friends think I like it in the a$$.  He doesn't get questioned about it all the time now, so I guess he's on to something...Stick out tongue

    Thanks for the responses ladies, I'm planning to block her from my pics and status updates.  Hopefully that will make my FB life a little more Smile
  • Wow Jamie--grandma needs to cut it out!  Sorry you're dealing with that...and of course, I like Cati's response.

  • wow!  that is really nerve-y!  Have you told her that it upsets you?  do you think she is doing it trying to be funny and not realizing that it is not.  I think I would hide her so you can't see her and hide yourself so she can't see you.

    Or just give her CC's response!
