How to get out of this living situation?

I think you need to think about how your grandparents were raised. It was a different time for them. They sat down to meals and ate as a family. If he/she has enough respect for you and your brother to cook a meal, then return that favor by having the same respect for him/her by sitting down and eatting with them. Parents and Grandparents just want kids to respect them. Help them with things around the house. Keep your rooms clean. Try saying thank-you,( and mean it) Everyone likes this. Help with cleaning the kitchen when you are done eating. Just a little respect goes a long way. If this doesn’t help at first don’t give up, it may take a while. Grandparents are full of stories. Ask question about there life as a child what it was like growing up. What there first car was the color. This will make them feel important. Then you can also pass these stories on to your kids someday. I don’t know how old you are but, Stupid SH&* to you will be important SH$%^ to you when you get older. Please try and remember this. Like not picking up your clothes isn’t important to you, BUT to your grandparents it is. Respect there rules. I am a mother and someday maybe a grandmother. My children are 27, 15 and 13. I dont know if I could take on grandchildren and raise them its a very hard job with raising children. I hope someday you get the chance to experience this first hand. Children are a blessing. Remember that at your grandparents age they should be living out what time they have here on earth enjoying each other. They have two grandkids in the house. This leaves very little time for them. They are taking care of you guys. So try and help out as much as you can so grandma can give grandpa some attention he needs. It will make everyone a lot more happier. Life is not easy, learn now how to deal with your situation now and it will give the experience to deal with life experiences later on. Good luck to you and your brother. Oh yea if he is anything like my brother was growing up. You will need to teach him how to clean. Boys do not have a cleaning gene. One day a wife will thank you.
