How do you suffer through a dinner at your grandparent's house?

Before dinner, permanently ask your grandma whether you can help in the kitchen. Ask her to not carry things but let you do that, put the dishes on the table while your grandma cooks and insist to do the dish washing after dinner. Or if they don’t let you, insist that you want to help at least.

She’ll be so stressed out thanking you for being “a real grown-up” now and getting her things done in spite of you being around and asking what you can do for her, that she’ll probably totally forget treating you like a baby.

I wish I could suffer through a dinner at my grandparent’s house, but they’re all dead. Amazing how the things that you found so irritating become the things you miss when they’re gone. Why not just let it go? It’s only a few hours of your time and it will award you with the memories you smile back on after they’ve left this world. Things aren’t really as bad as you think.

Something you could do is ask them to tell you stories about what it was like when there was no (just checking your age) internet, no cell phones, what did people do for fun, how did they meet, what was dating like, how strict were their parents… It can be a real eyeopener. Whats the oldest relative they remember, get them to help you start a family tree. I had grandparents I rarely saw, because we lived abroad so much, and I was always too shy to ask them the things I wanted to know about.

I never go anymore

As with most things, lose the negative attitude and it will get less negative. You need to go in with an open mind. It works wonders.

It’s mandatory

Just try to be nice and not hold any past grudges, but if it starts up again just try to remember that in order to be a proper lady you must criticize others and tell them how to live, because without that, I mean, you just wouldn’t feel good if you weren’t criticizing others. I mean, the poor cat and the poor dog. They must have animals to use and tell what to do right? Try not to let it get to you, its all good yo. I got your back.

Well I must say, I was sad to hear your views. You consider your grandparents a burden on your life. Even a day for them is disturbing for you. Remember you are in this world because they gave birth to one of your parents. Even today you are fed by the children of your grandparents.

Think about the day when you will be too old and weak to go to toillet and your grand daughter would be posting the same question about you. You will be a burden for your grand daughter.
