WTF is wrong with some old people?!

Local-womanizer

I have 2 grannies,both in their 90s.One has deteriated alot over the last number of years,lost mobility and now lives in a nursing home.The other granny can walk about,feed herself clean about the house.

The problem is,the granny who is in a home never has a bad word to say,is always happy to see visitors and never ever complains about how she cannot walk,she says if she were to die tonight she would be happy with the life she has lived,she has no regrets.She would be happy as long as she had food to put on the table and a bottle of whiskey in the cabinet.She would die for her children,stand up to anybody,and she has told Nuns,Priests and Teachers if they were to beat her children she would kill them,which I think is great giving her generation and the time they where in.I will be devastated when she passes on.

The mobile granny on the other had causes fights between her children,lies about things people say,pretends she has something wrong with her,says kids have it far to easy nowadays and should be out working in the fields after school,all the usual sh1te,even though she has never worked a day in her life.She sent her children to live with her sisters because she could not be arsed caring for them.When you go visit she insults you and gives out about how she is sick and pretends she is immobile.I couldent care less if she died tomorrow.

I hope to christ when Iam old I make people happy

Does everyone have a bitter grandparent in their lives or is it I am just unlucky with the b1tch that happens to be my granny?!:mad:Fcuking maddens me!

Btw,this turned out more of a rant than I wanted!Sorry!:o

I found one of my grannys really difficult until she was in her 70s and the doctor finally medicated her. It genuinely worked miracles for my granny she was lovely and far happier in herslelf thereafter.

Both my own Grandmothers were lovely - sadly they've passed on now.

But I do know some friends who had horribly moany/whingey/cranky/bitter grandparents. I think a lot of this has to do with the way Ireland was in their time - dirt poor, priest ridden, backward and for women, they were not allowed to have a life of their own, just be endless baby factories, stand closer to the kitchen sink and deal with endless children and often abusive/drunken husbands. It must have been very frustrating for them.

It can't have been easy for many women in those times and I suppose many of them became bitter when they got older, especially jealous at the freedoms and luxuries their daughters and grandaughters enjoy today.

If I was in their position I'd probably be a bit bitter too.:(

But the one who is a bitch had an easy life,the other had a tough life and wouldent wish it upon anyone.

Easy life probably made her the crank she is today, a bit of hardship and suffering does wonders for the personality.

My grandfather insults everyone. He doesn't have any sort of dementia, he's just really blunt and doesn't have the most empathy. He's also quite deaf, so he's indiscreet too.

His bluntness can be quite funny, at times.

He's wonderful, though. He's nearly 86 and he goes on long walks every day and he tells great stories.

I find it easier to go to bingo halls and make a trail of brown bread back to my house.But make sure you have Emmerdale or Corrie on so they watch that,then capture them with a blanket and put them into a rocking chair.Works wonders!

My nan used to be great at giving compliments.. we called it a stage whisper.

Mom meets her doctor in town
Nan: Who was that?
Mom: Oh that was just my doctor
Nan: (with doctor in earshot) JAYSUS, SHE'S AWFUL FAT FOR A DOCTOR!"


or a great one to my moml
Nan: Oh Yvette, you don't look as fat in that top

Play evil granny one against nice granny two, therefore turning evil granny one into nice granny one.

Sing granny one's praises about "x" issue in front of granny two.

e.g. 1

i.e. EVIL GRANNY " Oh that one Sally is an awful be-atch"

YOU, "funny, nice granny one, gets along great with her and never says a bad word against anyone, isn't she great, with her in a home and all"

e.g. 2

EVIL GRANNY " I have a sore leg and it's killin me, oh woe is me"

YOU "funny nice granny one has the same varicose vein throbbing sensation, but she is so good about the nurses that change her bandages and says they take the pain away with their kindness"

In short, older generation women do not like being compared.
And, yes, keep it up.

So OP basically what you're saying is that if you're a lazy, selfish moany bollix then you are guarenteed to llive a long and healthy life? OK, willdo.

You're not getting your ball back.

I knifed it.

I bet these old ladies are no different to when they were young. The cranky old gal was probably a ball-breaker all her days. I'm a right b*tch and I plan to get more successful at it as I age. Chin chin!

Pretty much, especially the selfish bit. My family live to great ages and I've noted that. Theyre not moany, but they are somewhat selfish and self sufficient. Maybe that's why they live so long. They're not affected as much by lifes hassles. When you're 90+ you've seen a load of mates go before you and if you were really impacted by that you probably wont live so long from stress.

The ones that live the longest are those that treat it as a game, a last longest game, they cross off the names of other old people who die from their list of phone numbers and they devour obituaries.

Usually anytime you mention somebody by name, they exclaim something like: 'Who? Agnes? Is she dead?!'
