Yesterday was the second time she asked mom how much the ticket flight back to US. I guess she's really really bored here compare to the stuff she do there, usually they would go to the casino and have a nice free buffet there while going for some slot machines.
The real reason why she went home was because of a serious family feud that made her come here. Unfortunately, I wasn't happy about it because of how the way she treats people, she has this authoritarian attitude. Mom put up with her the last time, this time she made it clear this is not her House
I took my stand too, when she forced our family maid to return home because of the way she treated her. That blew me off the fuse and one time I got so angry I didn't talk to her for days. Though I think she's behaved now but I don't think she changed, only looking for an opportunity to take advantage again.
Honestly, If i had the money, I'd just buy her a ticket and sent her home. She ran away when she can't face her problem and now she's here and tries to take over, Big Mistake! 
She can't control any body anymore.
I don't think she's that bad but were not kids anymore. Mom and I can make our own decisions now. The only reason were putting up with her a little more is for my aunties there to experience another months of prolonged freedom.

It sounds to me as if maybe she did the same types of things at home as she does there where she is now. It's not right for her to be so bossy. I realize she's your grandmother, but she isn't in her own home and has to respect that.

Hello @ScribbledAdNauseum I hate to expose it but there's just no place for me to rant. I just can't understand some one who goes to church every week end and does the opposite as to how a christian should act.

Nope, my mom said she's been like that even before we were born @Macarrosel therefore unless we take a stand, there's not much we can do.

Hello @salonga well, she's not all that bad but this time she needs to be reminded that it's not her home.

Hello @marlina well, she can't go home right now since we don't have the money for her ticket.

Hello @jaboUK well, she does now. But I think she tends to try and go back to that old attitude of hers.

It's tough to deal with authoritarian people. It's good that you have made a stand so that your gramdma will know that you're not happy about her attitude.

@Letranknight2015 I see... Is she also like that to people her age, or only to people younger than her?

@cheerfulnuts both. I guess before she went here, they all got tired of her.

@Letranknight2015 That's the typical characters in my father side. So I am not close to them. I don't mind.

I think, your grandmother and my mother's father were both alike, they want everyone to kneel them but we just consider her bad attitude because she's old enough, so we prolong our patience and considers her situation. Being at that age, they are very insecure and they want everyone to know that they can still manage or still very strong in emotions and in their health even they're not.

My mom claims she had learn her lesson now after we had fought back, not in physical way. But I know she's just waiting for an opportunity to dictate again. Now, she really can't go home because she didn't prefer the round trip ticket and now they are saving money so that they can go home, but that would be next year.

Hello @cacay1 they can't because they bought it on credit. unless she gets cleared, they can't buy a ticket for her. she was so naive last year and bought a one way ticket, looks like she regrets it now.

@cacay1 In our situation, it's too expensive. besides, she changes her mind later every time she meets the puppies. she'd be more frustrated when she gets home.

Maybe you need to tell her that you will put her out on the street if she won't quit being so bossy. I know that sounds mean, but you should put her in her place.

I think that would be too extreme for me @JESSY3236 getting mad once was probably enough. well, right now she knows she wouldn't do that.

I don't know why she's so different @JudyEv I mean it's like everything is not enough for her and most times negative on other people.

@Letranknight2015 Some people are just like this I think. My grandmother was very hard to get along with too. And after being boss in her own house, she would probably like to be boss in your house too.

Some people have a hard time letting other people have control. I hope things get sorted out soon.

Well, the only way to sort things out is to stand against something that we don't want her to do @missjessicadawn

Hello @marguicha I think she's in denial that she needs to rest more than do anything else.

Oh maybe she's really bored that's why she's crabby. Anyway, elder people needs attention maybe that's what she wants, attention.
