And lately, i've discovered that one of the best answers for relationship problems is communication. talk. explain. share. it does wonders.
advice
I have a wonderful grandmother. She is the most kind, wise person I have ever met. She has 4 children, one of which is my father. Another one is named Tary. She is unemployed. She was married and had 3 kids (2 twins and a girl). Anyways, when her husband died, Tary had nowhere to live because she and her husband did nothing. So, my grandmother offered her to live with her. Not a good idea. They completely take advantage of her and I feel so sad for her. She's a pushover, and her back has been bad for years =(. I've told my cousins (Tary's children) how lucky they are to live in my grandmother's house, and they simply said, "It isn't her house. It's our house too." Tary doesn't pay my grandmother anything for food, bills, or gas.
My grandmother is slowly getting poorer. She lives in a bad neighborhood, so she sent the 3 kids of Tary to a private school. They all failed in it, though, so they have to go to public now. Also, Tary's twin boys' birthday was a week ago. One got a cell phone, and the other got an iPod, and they're both 13! They probably didn't even say thank you. =(
My dad and his other siblings have talked to my grandmother about it and she denies it all. If I bring it up, she'll be upset. I just don't like seeing her go through this.
What do I do?
if your grandmother wont do anything about it, your father and his other siblings should, since it'll only do her good [as far as i can tell]. Have you tried talking to tary? If she isnt willing to listen, then your father and other aunts/uncles will have to do something about it. Even if your grandmother gets upset if you bring it up, you have to sooner or later. tell her its for her own good and that you guys are all worried about her.
