So what is it about your grandmother that they always want to tell you what to do? My grandmother always wanted to tell me that she knew what was best for me. But when it came down to the wire she was never around to help. I just recently had to move. I was going through a lot of stuff and lost my house. When I called her to ask her if I could stay with her she told me that I could not come and stay with her unless I had a job. My grandmother knows that I haven't had a job in years so why would I be able to have a job and move and all that all at the same time. When I moved in with my mother she decided to tell me that I could come and stay with her all of a sudden. I just can't figure it out...why in the world would I do it now that I am settled in at my moms house? What was she thinking?

Speaking as a mother myself of many wonderful kiddos, I say this from experience, okaye...... As a parent we think that we know what is best for the kids, but in reality, all we can do is be there and try to help when we can. I have no idea why your grandmother of all people said what she did,or why your mother acts the way she does, but beleive me when I say, as a rule we just want you to stand on your own two feet,and be happy. We want for you what we didn't have, or at least that is the way I am about my kids. I just want them happy. I am sure that that is all your family wants for you, kiddo. Just be happy,and if neccessary tell them all to get bent. Live your life, but do it respectfully,and with dignity. She was thinking that she would fix your life for you, but in reality she can't. You are the only one who can. Your grandmother was thinking this, that is.
