What is it with relatives? :frusty:

Ok so my grandad is a lovely old boy, full of moans and groans and has had every physical complaint you can think of, if you've had it, he's had it worse, I mean ffs he takes these pills which make him shake but stop him feeling sick, then he take diazapan to stop him shaking but it makes him sick :frusty:
Anyway, every once in a while he'll call me and ask if I'll go clear the garden, leaves etc, I also do some gardening for him thru the summer.
So he rang me the other day asking if I could, I said I dunno considering my current physical condition, then his voice dropped into a sad "Ok it's just nice to have a clean garden", instant guilt trip, I said I'd call him back before the w/e, so now in the last 24 hours he has called 17 times :frusty:
Funny thing is I have 8 cousins, 3 of which are under 18 and live closer to him and would probably love a couple of hours work just before xmas (he tries to pay me but I never take it), ok so I usually do it, trouble is I don't think I physically can, I'm still limping ffs, sleepless nights thru pain and shit, yet when I want some help everyone is busy.
When I moved house 4 years ago 2 of us done it buy oversized wheelbarrow.......why? 3 reasons
1: No access to van or car
2: No money to hire van or car
3: Not 1 member of my family said they could help, all of a sudden too busy, yet I gotta drop whatever I'm doing and rush to help anyone else, I'm sorry but am I the only person who thinks that sucks?
So anyway, I guess 2morrow I'll have no choice but to clear his garden cos them useless twat cousins of mine are too fucking idol and I'll probably suffer the w/e for it and just listen to my grandad telling me how it was'nt my dads fault but my mums cos she was playing away, thats why my folks split up, jesus don'tt you fucking hate families, wish they'd just fuck off and leave me alone...........well they do unless they want something :dry:

Ok thats my rant for the day :ph34r: , I'm going work, have a good day all :)

Maybe he likes you and wants your company.

Perhaps it's not just about the garden.

Phone the old chap, let him know when you are coming and take some nice wee cakes with you.

I suspect the same.

Some older ppl should be not left alone for too long.
A regular call to ask "whats going down" should helpa lot on
the demands regarding the gardening.

Sounds a lot like what's already been said - If it's about getting just you to do it, tell them that they have other family that could help as well (although a little gentler nach). However, if it's about seeing you rather than your handiwork, as has been said, then you can leave the tools and just catch up with the old man :) And depending on his preferences, bring along some tea or a bottle of whisky to wash down those cakes :)

As for the other relatives, they may be taking a free ride in terms of labour - They may be family, but (as long as its not overboard) putting your foot down & telling them that help's a two-way relationship should hopefully sort that out.

Me & my brother are like that - We will get stuff and stuff done for each other via our own methods, and will help each other out whether it's gladly or reluctantly (depending on moods and what each of us has planned). If either can't help the other due to a good reason, then we'll accept it and just help the next time.

And chances are that we have a go at each other a damn sight more than most feuding siblings - He may be my brother but he's still an arsehole (and I expect he feels the same about me ;)).

Funny youmention the Brother thing.

My brother and I didnt get a long at all before we got over 20 y.o.
When we had our own places tolive the life etc. things been really smooth ever since.

I think the issue is not to see each other toomuch.

Same goes pretty much to my sisters too, hehe.

I use to really piss 'em off with my constant guitar playing,
I can understand that but i just wanted to play anyways.

12-02-2004, 07:42 PM
@Lynx......... :lol: Thanks very much , I'll remember that next time I'm lifting a boat too :lol:

@The general opinion: You say he wants to see me, yes I'm sure he does, unfortunately from the 3 children he had, they all spawned 2 kids (cept my dad who has a 6 y/o son) all about the same age pretty much, but me and my sister were always excluded and kinda the runts of the family, dunno why, maybe they did'nt like my mum, who cares, the point is last time I went to my grandads (who btw is the last grandparent I have) he was telling me all about how my mum cheated on my dad (they split up 8 years ago, the day before my 19th birthday, Dad left mum for another woman), this kinda hurt me, anyone else I would have flattened him for what he was saying about my mum, but what do you do? Sit there and agree? sit there and be quiet?
Not a comfortable situation really, so you see my predicament, yes I respect him he's my grandfather, but I don't like going round there.

Jonno :cool:

Afronaut
12-02-2004, 08:13 PM
Been in similar situation.
And it does make one think "what im gonna hear today?"
whilst taking the trip over there.

But, why do they tell things like that? Thats on question I wonder sometimes.
For example, If i went to see someone and evrything was cool before,
and they tell some "news" from the past that really dont matter or make a
difference except annoy me, whats the point telling those news?

IRL-Trolling?

:D

Well, I guess its some sorta bonding thing (James Bond ehehe),
a mark of knowledge or whatever subconscious stuff...

@lilmiss....... Go see her , I missed the chance with my mums nan, she always wanted a grandson but died abou 6 months before I was born, I also did'nt go see my great gran cos it was "uncool and boring" then suffered for a long time with guilt when she died.
I do see my grandad, but I am the dogsbody, can't give any dirty jobs to the others cos they clever high earning people , people to be proud of etc, thats the way I see it anyway.
A few years ago there was a family xmas dinner at an expensive restraunt, there was nan, grandad, my dad and step mum, my brother, my 4 cousins 2 aunts and 2 uncles.
Me and my sister heard about this dinner 2 weeks after it happend.
Families are'nt worth a toss :)

@JP...... No he would take major offence and tell me about how he might not be here next xmas (which he's been telling me since I was 12, give me card early "Incase I don't quite make xmas")

I don't care how it looks, you don't know my family so how could you possibly judge whether they are "Better" as you put it, than me?

My point is I only get a call from any of them if they want something done cos their too fucking clean cut useless tarts to do it themselfs.
I'll give you another example, I've had bikes for 10 years, many of them, my dad knows nothing about engines but my grandfather was a mechanic, yet he would never help me when I got stuck, he refused to tell me how to do something cos I'd do it wrong , he would'nt let me use his tools and he would'nt do it for me cos I had to learn myself.

@Cheese....You would?.....So then have you?
What was the reaction?

I can pronounce it fine, the fact I can't spell it means fuck all really does'nt it :)

And "Ain't" is not Queens english, you keep on about proper spelling etc, then you should use proper Queens English.
It's some sort of slang/abreviation for "Am Not"

@Manker... And I proved you wrong there, you would get your head caved in, simple as that.

@Manker... And I proved you wrong there, you would get your head caved in, simple as that.I agreed with you, that I would not correct their slang as the meaning would be conveyed correctly given the context of a builders yard and the object of a screw.

So far from you proving me wrong, I skillfully demonstrated that your point was wholly irrelevant to the argument and in fact augmented my own stance.

My point is I think it's pathetic the way some people have to correct people's spelling all the time, like I said to you, not everyone went/goes to university, not everyone gets the chance, certain people here use it as some sort of weapon because they can't think of a decnt reply, to mock someone for something they can't help is a sign of some form of insecurity.

I speak, spell and puntuate how I remember being taught, you got a problem with that take it up with the british education board.
And until you correct someone you don't really know in real life to their face because they pronounce something wrong I suggest you don't do it online.

Thats my opinion :)

@Cheese ...... I somehow doubt that, not in the way it's done.

I was talking about online, what I see and read.

Maybe you should ask the people you correct if they are happy with it, it's not nice people correcting you all the time, it's like having a disfigurement and people starring, same priciple, no one gives a shit how clever you are. Personally if I want to be corrected I ask to be corrected "did I spell that right?" for example.

I don't have any problem at all with pronunciation.

I have a particularly strong Welsh accent and when I first meet people it is often difficult for them to understand me unless I speak slowly.

Nothing wrong with that.

I seldom correct people for grammar and spelling on here. Unless it's Cheese or J'Pol - both of whom write better than me. I highlighted your word earlier because I wasn't 100% sure what you meant but wanted to use it in refuting your assertion.

Anyhow this conversation is boring me now.

To show that I'm actually quite prone to mistakes myself here is my English essay which I handed in recently. See if you can spot the error that is going to make me look like a prat when my tutor marks my work.


Colonial thinking is very much represented by the character of Crusoe whilst the opposing view that slavery is immoral is brought forward by the speech in the Aphra Behn passage.

!8th Century views on these issues were very different from our own so it is important to address these when discussing novels of the time. Crusoe’s actions may seem immoral to the modern reader but to Defoe and his contemporaries there is no question that he is acting rightfully.

No they don't, I'm serious, why do you think people travel and move to the city? this is a very small town with shops, pubs and a couple of garages (trained on site mechanics, not in college). and builders, and if you walk on site with a certificate you can bet it will be nailed to your lunchbox by the end of the day.

No they don't, I'm serious, why do you think people travel and move to the city? this is a very small town with shops, pubs and a couple of garages (trained on site mechanics, not in college). and builders, and if you walk on site with a certificate you can bet it will be nailed to your lunchbox by the end of the day.If you're not exagerating, you live in Royston Vasey.

Then keep that in mind when you correct people's spelling and grammar :)

No I'm not, you could be qualified in law or accountancy or something, would'nt do you any good round here cos there's enough to cover, can't remember the last time we had a new Barrister in town and acountants here are 10 a penny, I know several who work in the factories or shops, earn less than I do yet went to college, simply don't wanna leave their home I guess.

Learn to live with it, Junno.

If there is one thing that is guarenteed to perpetuate a nuance, it is by drawing attention to it. By the way, it is often considered incorrect to start a sentence with 'because' - just a little pointer there ;)

What planet are you on man? I'm making a point thats been bugging me a while, I said I don't wanna be corrected yet you still do it, it's simply a wind up and shows how small minded you can be.

Trouble is, it ain't winding me up, I'm simply making my points, why do you say I've blown it out of proportion?
I made a post, it was replied to, I replied to that, how is it out of proportion, I'm giving you my opinion and asking for my wishes to be followed.

And telling a dyslexic to get a spell check is a bit sick if you ask me, I'm sorry I would'nt have the heart to do that, those who are know, they don't need to be told to get a spellchecker.
