I mean, I have this grandfather. love him and all, but he is extremely agravating at times. when we're watching tv, he either turns it off or comments on how bad it is throughout the entire thing. I do that myself to my sisters' shows, but I generally dont do it when Im a guest at another house.
I scarcely need to mention how he watched 2 hrs of a movie I think utterly boring.he complained a great deal bout how clean the house was, and how messy it had gotten by the time he was leaving. I cleaned it in an all nighter before he arrived, and yes, it did get messy - because we were entertaining guests instead of cleaning. ever notice how the house is a wreck after someone visits for a few days?
we go to church - as some of you know, Im an atheist, and *really* dont like going. but its for the family, once or so a year, so I go. he spends all his time complaining about the service, the music, the sermon, the architecture, the prayer, the whole bit. thats nice and all, but you dont see me going to his church and laughing at it.
we got to a dinner for graduation - my choice of resturant - and he apparently spent the entire evening saying how it was too fatty, badly cooked, the lighting was bad, etc, etc, etc. Im glad I was on the other side of the table from him. didnt hear it
he tells us hes sick. often and regularly. he doesnt seem to notice some of us are sick as well, but we're not complaing about it. he leaves the house early and comes late so he can get his sleep, but when I get half as much as he does from formal dinner parties with family *and* wild dance parties with friends, its cuz I have psych problems. or am hiding something.
and then I counter one of his complaints, he says he doesnt want to argue
