No you reek of rotten flesh and skunk spray

"Just because you're old doesn't mean your rudeness is charming." THIS. FFS.

No - it just means you’ve had longer to learn better… but still failed.

Hunter, very few people would want to spend time with her, is probably say it wouldn't even be worth it in the end

Don't think she finds them worthy though

Yeah, but these are her children. And children deserve to be treated well unless they're a**holes

I really hope Ray Martins response is to yoga kitty

Supernatural - Yes it is. Look, I like cats - I have two myself - but these deranged "cat people" can just... fornicate away. Also, why do vegans always have to announce it at every opportunity?

Agreed...like the saying goes...how do know if you're in the company of a vegan? Because they will f*****g tell you...

I just mentioned "vegan" because this lovely grandma announced that there would be bacon in absolutely everything, even the beans. That she explicitly points this out makes me guess she already KNOWS their will be vegetarians or vegans present. No food for them, I guess, just because she thinks "not eating bacon is unnatural". That she insults nearly everybody and even feels the need to pick on somebody who did not want to participate because the cat is sick - yes, all in all she really seems to an absolute sweetheart to be around. If these are the options, I will spend my days as "deranged cat person" any time - thank you very much.

Yes, if you assume that anyone who identifies a certain way will tell you then all people who identify a certain way will tell you, as far as you know. I really hope you aren't in research.

Very good point! But they will not understand it...

It's okay. Selfish bigots will continue to out themselves voluntarily by pointing the finger at everyone else and falling back on logical fallacies before presenting anything of substance.

Sooo sensitive!

Wait, is it "nobody wants you here" or "no excuses, I will disinherited you if you don't show up"? /s

"I hope you like it". Y'all. When my mother removed the wrapping and saw her greatest wish and worst nightmare all wrapped up in one, well, I'd like to say that she dissolved into a puddle of embarrassment, but no, she was a queen who knew how to accept even the foulest gift with genuine looking excitement and gratitude. Truly, to this day I am convinced she loved her ugly ass brown globe. That was her gift.

She sounds grand! Very sophisticated- great family-story!

Thanks Steph!! To this day, I too will accept a handful of s**t with the biggest smile and use it for fertilizer, lol, while gleefully telling them it was exactly what I wanted, lol.

That's the best way to react, as whatever was chosen and given with love, was meant to make the recipient happy. Not fair to make the giver purposely feel bad about the wrong choice he's made. Live is too short for such things ;-)

Exactly! Why steal the joy of giving from someone?

That's the truth! My mother ("Nonnie") let it be known in the late nineties that she'd really love a globe for Christmas.Told every one of her five kids that she wanted a globe. My son Chris was about ten years old at the time and her wanted to use his allowance money to buy Nonnie a globe. So we went to the mall and looked at several stores that carry globes, like World Market, Pier 1, etc. Finally decided on this beautiful sepia toned globe on a beautiful stand; my kiddo was stoked to present her with her Christmas wish. Fast forward to Christmas Eve Eve, two nights before Christmas. We're talking about the holiday and what we hope we get. My mother straight up says "I hope I get a globe!" Pauses a beat "Hope it's not one of those ugly brown ones". Chris, my son, and I exchanged a glance and tried not to laugh as we knew that her new glide was, in fact, "one of those ugly brown ones". Christmas Day: Chris brings out the box with the ugly ass brown globe in it and says "Ihope you li

Where is the rest of your story - I am curious about the reaction

Oh!! It's posted right above, hate how the last part posted first!

;-)

Lol, I was a little drunk when I wrote this and I think I was being sentimental. She WAS incredibly gracious and over the top in her love for the thing she specifically told us she despised, but she burst out laughing when she saw it which made all of us laugh. She passed in 02, but that story is still told every time someone gets a little rude or entitled.

Nobody said sassy grandmas can't be good writers ;-) lol

It's not just for money, it's also trying to enjoy your grandma's love in her final years, but neither of us know the whole story.

Personally I don't see grandma's love anywhere in this post

And that's why you'll get nothing! Seriously though, it's all over her letter, especially for her grandkids. You're not looking hard enough.

But you have no idea about the actual circumstance. sounds to me that you are young at heart or selfish and not reading deeper into the note and taking it at face value.

I completely agree with that, Heather. "It's not just for money, it's also trying to enjoy your grandma's love in her final years, but neither of us know the whole story." Edit: Context

Yes, but if you HAVE to blackmail your family into seeing you, you've probably done something to deserve it. Js

not necessarily. you can be the sweetest person even, it doesnt mean people will bother to check up on you....that is unless they are concerned with getting something FROM you... this applies to more than just family.

Sure, the entire family may be jerks. Or it could be that this one woman is horrible to be around.

But it's HER OWN FAULT for behaving in such a way that CAUSES no one to want to be around her. Either way...I hope no one showed. You could pay me a million dollars and I wouldn't deal with that kind of treatment from" family"

I think both sides are jerks to be honest... didn't say that the kids seem better! But i definitely don't like her! She doesn't respect people's preferences in food or people that have pets! She is thinking that the environment issue is a problem for the next generations cause she'll be gone and uses her money to be with people! Makes it difficult for me to like her

Rest of my reply: My brother actually has 1 kid in Mississippi he left his ex-wife and son when his son was 5 or 6(he was born in 1986). Well in 95 he married his current wife and somehow avoided paying child support... My mom still kept in touch with his ex wife and son so in 97 my mom had let his ex-wife know the name of the company where he worked at... They started taking back child support out of his checks(they only took out less than $100 every other week)... His current wife raised HELL and convinced him that he had no children to go to court. But DNA test didn't agree on what she said bout the kid not being his) ANYWAYS.... To this day my mom believes that his wife brainwashed him to the point of lying about checking up on his dad.(I don't think she brainwashed him but I do know she is the reason on why he is lying. She can't stand me and my 2 kids and my mom. She has caused problems sh.t talking about my oldest daughter who's 18 and sh.t talks about me being a bad parent)

TY! My cousin's was the same way.... What's worse... My OWN brother makes up excuses to NOT come see our dad(my dad is 81 and has dementia and Parkinson)... My parents doesn't do the will sh.t unlike my grandparents..... For almost a year my brother keeps saying he came by and knocked but no one answers(which he NVR did someone always made sure they were up to hear someone at the door) when my mom would ask when he knocked he would say the time and that's when I'm usually outside smoking... He's such a liar. BUT I bet if our parents had a will he would show up more often. My mom has told him plenty of times when he used to ask how come they didn't have a will... She would say: ok we'll do a will and leave all the bills for you to finish paying on😂😂😂 That usually shuts him up. Since our dad's health is getting bad he wants to lie (my mom thinks his wife is brainwashing him... Which wouldn't surprise me if that's true. She did that making him actually believe he has no kids)

Nope.

Please don't make assumptions about other people without knowing them! Nothing similar happened to me! I couldn't care less about wills and money i don't even have a rich relative! But being a grandmother doesn't automatically makes you a worth to visit person! There are toxic people in families and this one sounded to me like that (both my grandmothers are lovely in case you are wondering)

Sweetheart, you might want to practice what you preach then You said " Please don't make assumptions about other people without knowing them!" But you did the same exact thing to the lady in this note just based on the simple note.

The lady said a lot more things about herself my dear darling sweetheart

I agree with you, Jose. So many people in Western cultures do not value the elderly like many other cultures do. I have seen the difference in my family and others I know. My grandmother lived with me and my family until she took her literal last breath in our home and you can guarantee she never spent a single holiday alone. She didn't have a single cent to leave us, but the time we had with her WAS our inheritance. Too many people just don't like being around the elderly, and from the sound of it, her family is a bunch of self entities jerks themselves.

Except that’s a bit of an extreme blanket statement, now isn’t it? I’m fairly young, and I don’t give one single solitary fùck about my grandparents money. I care about THEM, but not their money. Never have, never will. I’ve seen some older people behave like absolute asshòles when it comes to inheritance though. So it’s probably not all that connected to age, frankly.
