Should i feel bad?

Question

You know how old people are this century, cheap stingy ETC. Well my grandma bleached my 30 $ shorts and 20 $ shirts, both of which were light blue, and really nice but now they both have a huge bleach stain. She claims that she didn't do it and that the bleached rubbed off the machine from a previously bleached load by my sister. Shes lying but refuses to let me do my own laundry, so i just took all my laundry out of the machine and told her i would have my dad take me to the laundry mat once a week. Shes OBSESSED with doing other people laundry because she likes '' to do a full load '' to save money. She also washed dark clothes in warm water which causes fading, more then half of my clothes are also faded, so i took my clothes out of the washer and told her i'm just gonna have my dad take me to the laundry mat end of story and she gave me a sad depressed look should i feel bad, BTW im 15 and my grandma is 78

Awww Honey :(

Plaese don’t feel bad…I know what you mean

sometimes we say things that we don’t mean to say and its Not like you don’t appreciate Your grandmother Im sure you love her very much just be cool and don’t stress too much just let her know that you care and love her but you just want your clothes to Look Good juts joke around with her and make her see that you didn’t mean anything offensive

Im sure she loves you too and its ok to feel the way you do now

Just have a talk to her and make sure she knows you love her because Im sure she thinks the world of you and she only wants to help you honey but its ok No one is pesrfuct and we all do and say things that we dont mean ….but the best thing about it is ..........its YOUR family and they will always love you and understand you..... that’s what families are for so don’t feel bad just let her know you care and love her I hope I helped But I think your really sweet and things will be ok

Sounds like my mom.  She always insisted on doing the laundry, wouldn't let anyone else even touch her washer and dryer.  But her idea of doing laundry was to load everything in together, wash with warm water, and tumble dry on high.  Blacks would fade, whites would turn yellow, and reds were a hazard to everyone.  She never admitted to ruining our clothes, ever.  When I turned 16 I got a job, got a car, and started taking my clothes to the laundry mat.  

Don't feel bad, you have a right to feel disappointed that your clothes are ruined.  Tell her you appreciate that she's trying to help out and keep her clothes away from her.

Answer 3

Ur g/m have seen hard-times back in the depression days.  She just trying to be resourseful and save u money.  Just be nice and explain to her, that's not the way u want to have ur clothes washed.  

She's 78 and she just want to useful.  It's sad,  but we all will be at that stage in life that we'll be not useful anymore.

Answer 4

Grandma wants to feel useful and appreciated for what she is doing for you.  Give her a hug and tell her thankyou, but You would like to do your own laundry.  Ask her to show you how, even if you already know.  After all, some day you are gonna have to do it for yourself.  That way she feels useful and if your laundry gets screwed up, you will have to find someone else to blame for an accident.  

PS Shame on you for calling your Grandma a liar!
