I come to my Grandma's house every summer, for about three weeks. Next door to my Grandma, lives this "family". I say "family" like that, because they are a bit broken. The mom is almost never there, so the two daughters are basically left to their own vices, a lot. Therefore, my Grandma has been stepping in to help them for most of their lives. Taking them on shopping trips. They are 14, and 11. They are nice kids. My Grandma tells me to be nice to them, but Sometimes, I get a little annoyed, because when I come to my Grandma's, they come to the house everyday, and come everywhere with us. Basically, they consider themselves a part of the family. They call her Grandma as well, and tell everyone that she is their grandmother, and that we are cousins. I have family problems too. I need my grandmother sometimes too. And yes, admittedly, I'm not a very nice person. I COULD be a bit friendlier. My Grandma lives where she lives year round, so why do they need to bug her when I am here? Sometimes, I just want them to leave us alone. I know they need love and attention, but they seem to forget that my grandma has a family of her own as well.

Replies Evolutionism Posted at 11:33 am on July 16, 2008 That's a valid feeling. I would talk to you grandmother about this. Pebbles123 Posted at 11:30 am on July 16, 2008 I would get annoyed too. I would get mad and tell the to piss off though. Arn't i lovely. :/ lol. Evolutionism Posted at 11:25 am on July 16, 2008 That's a valid feeling. I would talk to you grandmother about this. Rowanie Posted at 11:25 am on July 16, 2008 Well I know everyone else has said this, but I agree you need to spend time alone with her, and maybe you can talk to her about it. Twilove Posted at 11:23 am on July 16, 2008 Even though you're more than likely jelous you do have a point.  I wouldn't want someone to be hogging a family member of mine. Everyone's already said this but talk to your grandmother..hopefully she'll understand Anonymous Posted at 11:23 am on July 16, 2008 Quote: from 2ndbreakfast79 at 11:22 am on July 16, 2008 it seems like your grandma is doing a nice, unselfish thing by making these neglected children a part of her family. she's showing them love and attention that they aren't getting at home. however, i do understand you wanting to spend some time with her alone. no one is going to know that though until you decide to speak up. let your grandmother know that you would appreciate it if you could spend a day or two with just her and then the next time the neighbors come over, she could tell them that the next day is a day for her and her grandchild and that she'll see them at another time. Yeah, okay. :) I hate how she makes me feel bad though =/ Like I said, I could be a little nicer, but I'm 17! I'm not going to play with them.

Then maybe she'll tell them to stay away for the few days that you're there. She's aware of how I feel, but I guess she's torn. I guess they assume that because they hang out with my grandma all year long, it shouldn't stop when I come around. Batt Manson Posted at 11:22 am on July 16, 2008 tell them to fuck off 2ndbreakfast79 Posted at 11:22 am on July 16, 2008 it seems like your grandma is doing a nice, unselfish thing by making these neglected children a part of her family. she's showing them love and attention that they aren't getting at home. however, i do understand you wanting to spend some time with her alone. no one is going to know that though until you decide to speak up. let your grandmother know that you would appreciate it if you could spend a day or two with just her and then the next time the neighbors come over, she could tell them that the next day is a day for her and her grandchild and that she'll see them at another time. knekay Posted at 11:22 am on July 16, 2008 you should tell your gran how u r feeling Littlestoxie Posted at 11:21 am on July 16, 2008 i sense a little jealousy...or if this is not the case maybe you can just ask your grandma if you two can just have a few days to yourselves La Motta Posted at 11:21 am on July 16, 2008 Can you say this to your gran?

Because i think you do deserve a little time alone with her. All 13 previous replies displayed.
