(Rhyme intended, if you can call it that.)
I don't have problems with Kit Stryborov... things just get worse by the day!!!! 🙄
A week ago my grandmother had a stroke; she's in the hospital now, and I've been driving her there from work almost every day. During the drive, she literally cannot stop talking—constant nagging about how I'm driving, which route I should take, how I park, etc. Honestly, I don't understand how someone can be so dense that they can't just shut up after hearing the same thing for seven days straight. Her constant chatter is incredibly distracting, especially when I'm trying to pull off a tricky maneuver. And of course, it’s always accompanied by her usual routine: "Poor me, I can't say anything, you're so disrespectful, the whole world is against me."
A few days ago, our sink drain started leaking. I told her I'd try to fix it myself, but naturally, she thinks I'm an idiot who isn't capable of anything. It turned into a massive blowout because she insisted I was incompetent and demanded we call a plumber (on a Sunday, no less!). Once I finally managed to get her to quiet down and step aside—amidst her usual "how dare you" remarks—and actually got to work, I had it fixed in fifteen minutes just by tightening some screws and adjusting the seals.
And predictably, she nitpicks every little thing I do as if it were the end of the world, yet whenever something actually needs to be done, she either finds it too difficult or claims she doesn't have the temperament for it. When she needs something, it has to happen immediately; when I need something, she blocks me at every turn. I could go on. She treats me more like a stepmother than a mother.
When my father was alive, he knew how to handle her and could usually quiet her down. Of course, she would follow that up by lamenting about how we're all trash, how everyone is out to get her, and how no one appreciates her (which happens regularly whenever things aren't exactly how she envisioned them). After he passed, it suddenly became, "Oh, my poor husband, how will I survive alone?" She's essentially feeding on her own drama.
Honestly, if every woman turns into an egocentric, self-absorbed, compulsively obsessive, "know-it-all" busybody as they age, God forbid I ever get married!!!!!! I've endured enough as it is, and I'm certainly not such a masochist that I'd voluntarily let someone screw with my head using their fixed delusions.🙄
Right now, my only goal is to finish my degree as soon as possible (thank God I'm a senior, just the final exams left), find a job, and move out.
