GFY and stop bothering people here, you’re not interesting, liked, or wanted. |
All you sensitive Sally’s who have no idea the context or history need to take it down a notch!!!! There are a lot of ways this could’ve played out the kids go to been complaining about stuff that their mother did or couldn’t do and your grandmother was saying oh yeah your mom she’s totally worthless in a way that Meant to show how ridiculous their complaints were. I can imagine a scenario with my mother in which I would say ‘man I can’t sew’ and she would say ‘oh you are totally worthless’ and we would both laugh because of the ridiculousness of it and it was meant to be funny. Some of you are over sensitive. |
And if OP indeed is super sensitive, I bet her mother of all people knows it, and yet still continues to make these “jokes”. That says a whole lot about her as a mother and a person. Guess what - if your jokes continuously hurt a loved one’s feelings, and you continue to make them anyway, they aren’t the problem. |
Somehow I bet if OP were to joke right back and remind her mother - jokingly, of course - about all the things the mother couldn’t do, it wouldn’t be received with humor. |
Because you don’t agree with me because I have a different perspective? Do you realize this is not your house , or a party we’re both attending it’s the damn Internet. Your insults don’t bother me. |
LOL. Are you OP? You are even more immature here than your first post would lead us to believe. You really need therapy. And it sounds like your mom is right btw. (DP) |
Hi Mom! |
I am OP, and the poster you are talking to is someone else. A fact you can verify with Jeff, if you like. Have a good day. |
| OP, this thread is proof that some people just suck. And your mother is one of them. Next time she makes a dig like that, give it back to her by calling her out nicely. “Wow, Grandma, we don’t talk like that around here. We try to be kind to each other.” “Wow, Grandma, we try to build each other up around here.” “Wow, Grandma, I’m sorry you feel that way about someone who is viewed as a success by most people.” Etc. |
Not trying to vic blame. Trying to victim empower. No child deserves to be called worthless but as am adult you have hopefully resources to heal and move on. |
What you would say or feel is beyond irrelevant. OP said she felt worthless. The direct result of her being the butt of a joke calling her worthless. If that’s the kind of humor you want to defend and engage in, good for you. But own that you hurt people and that’s your desired result. |
Then you should have said that. You didn’t. You said “take this as an opportunity to look at why,” as if it is some big mystery. Nice try at backpedaling, though. |
