Heck, 47 00:02:04,320 --> 00:02:06,920 Speaker 1: my brother is going to medical school himself, not to 48 00:02:06,960 --> 00:02:09,600 Speaker 1: mention her being a nurse does not entitle her to 49 00:02:09,760 --> 00:02:12,959 Speaker 1: know personal information about us. We didn't want to tell 50 00:02:13,040 --> 00:02:15,920 Speaker 1: extended family yet because we weren't sure if it was 51 00:02:16,040 --> 00:02:19,959 Speaker 1: cancerous or assist. We didn't want to create unnecessary worry. 52 00:02:20,080 --> 00:02:22,880 Speaker 1: Throughout the month, she had been calling and texting him 53 00:02:23,120 --> 00:02:26,280 Speaker 1: non stop. When he didn't respond, she would blow up 54 00:02:26,320 --> 00:02:28,840 Speaker 1: my phone and my brother's phone. I don't live with 55 00:02:28,880 --> 00:02:31,800 Speaker 1: my brother, and admittedly I don't how much contact with him, 56 00:02:31,880 --> 00:02:34,640 Speaker 1: so I don't know why she called me forty five 57 00:02:34,760 --> 00:02:40,320 Speaker 1: times within two days. That is basically one time per hour, forty. 58 00:02:39,880 --> 00:02:42,040 Speaker 2: Five times within two days. 59 00:02:42,600 --> 00:02:43,960 Speaker 3: Those are rookie numbers. Skip those up. 60 00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:45,720 Speaker 2: Oh my goodness, gracious. 61 00:02:45,840 --> 00:02:48,119 Speaker 1: I had to block her number so I could get 62 00:02:48,160 --> 00:02:51,080 Speaker 1: through school without my phone constantly buzzing in my pocket. 63 00:02:51,160 --> 00:02:54,200 Speaker 1: She finally stopped when my dad stepped in and forced 64 00:02:54,240 --> 00:02:56,920 Speaker 1: her to. We hadn't heard from her much during that time, 65 00:02:57,040 --> 00:02:58,960 Speaker 1: or at least so I thought. We had to go 66 00:02:59,040 --> 00:03:01,000 Speaker 1: over to where my dad had lived so my brother 67 00:03:01,040 --> 00:03:04,000 Speaker 1: could have it removed. Insurance problems were the reason we 68 00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:06,800 Speaker 1: couldn't stay in town. It was just supposed to be 69 00:03:06,880 --> 00:03:09,359 Speaker 1: my dad, My Mom and me. I was mostly there 70 00:03:09,360 --> 00:03:11,440 Speaker 1: for my mom because I didn't want her to be alone. 71 00:03:11,480 --> 00:03:14,880 Speaker 1: When we let family know, Grandma decided to call my 72 00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:19,000 Speaker 1: brother and demand he go to Mayo, Rochester for a 73 00:03:19,120 --> 00:03:22,560 Speaker 1: second opinion. We didn't even have the first opinion yet. 74 00:03:22,600 --> 00:03:24,960 Speaker 1: All we knew was that the lump had to be 75 00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:29,000 Speaker 1: taken out and had even been biopsed or sent to pathology. 76 00:03:29,200 --> 00:03:31,680 Speaker 1: She kept insulting the hospital we were going to and 77 00:03:31,720 --> 00:03:34,440 Speaker 1: claiming that Rochester was so much better. It was not. 78 00:03:34,600 --> 00:03:37,400 Speaker 1: It was just further. We were going to Bellend or 79 00:03:37,600 --> 00:03:40,960 Speaker 1: infony by Bellend. This made my dad angry because he 80 00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:43,960 Speaker 1: works at the hospital and it's Bellund. My dad called 81 00:03:43,960 --> 00:03:46,840 Speaker 1: her and told her to shut the f up silence. 82 00:03:47,120 --> 00:03:49,840 Speaker 1: We were hoping that would be it. Guess what, guys, 83 00:03:50,080 --> 00:03:53,480 Speaker 1: it never is. It wasn't, of course not. It wasn't 84 00:03:53,920 --> 00:03:56,200 Speaker 1: the end. The initial trip was supposed to be a 85 00:03:56,280 --> 00:03:58,760 Speaker 1: three and a half day trip, even Tuesday night for 86 00:03:58,840 --> 00:04:01,720 Speaker 1: the hospital and leaving Friday afternoon. It was just going 87 00:04:01,760 --> 00:04:05,119 Speaker 1: to be the four of us. However, in true Grandma fashion, 88 00:04:05,440 --> 00:04:08,840 Speaker 1: she decided to butt into the situation once more. She 89 00:04:08,880 --> 00:04:11,600 Speaker 1: announced on Facebook, of all places, that she will be 90 00:04:11,640 --> 00:04:14,520 Speaker 1: going to her grand baby surgery to be there for 91 00:04:14,680 --> 00:04:17,080 Speaker 1: him and that they should pray for her, not him. 92 00:04:17,120 --> 00:04:19,720 Speaker 2: She's like, pray for me that I may get through 93 00:04:19,760 --> 00:04:22,880 Speaker 2: these trying times, not anyone else. This is gonna be 94 00:04:22,960 --> 00:04:24,280 Speaker 2: really think of a praying for my son. 95 00:04:24,360 --> 00:04:26,279 Speaker 1: Yeah, this is gonna be really hard on me. Like, 96 00:04:26,360 --> 00:04:28,680 Speaker 1: I'm gonna have to watch him be in bed. I'm 97 00:04:28,680 --> 00:04:30,080 Speaker 1: just gonna be at a hospital for three and a 98 00:04:30,080 --> 00:04:31,400 Speaker 1: half days. That's tough. 99 00:04:31,480 --> 00:04:35,320 Speaker 2: She's like, I'll vlog from inside. I'll text you guys updates. 100 00:04:35,560 --> 00:04:38,320 Speaker 1: We were not aware she was coming until that announcement 101 00:04:38,360 --> 00:04:40,320 Speaker 1: a day before we had to leave. We stood up 102 00:04:40,360 --> 00:04:42,480 Speaker 1: and just tried to keep things nice and stress free 103 00:04:42,480 --> 00:04:44,880 Speaker 1: for my brother. When we arrived, it was smooth at first. 104 00:04:44,960 --> 00:04:47,080 Speaker 1: First night, we got dinner and discuss plans for the 105 00:04:47,080 --> 00:04:49,880 Speaker 1: next day. My brother had a CT at nine fifteen 106 00:04:49,960 --> 00:04:53,120 Speaker 1: and then a consultant for surgery at eleven thirty. Afterwards, 107 00:04:53,120 --> 00:04:55,599 Speaker 1: we were going to wander around the city and enjoy ourselves. 108 00:04:55,680 --> 00:04:57,560 Speaker 1: The first part of our plans went well. We got 109 00:04:57,640 --> 00:05:00,000 Speaker 1: up to breakfast and then went to the CT appointment. 110 00:05:00,200 --> 00:05:02,840 Speaker 1: I was originally going to meet my stepmom there and 111 00:05:02,880 --> 00:05:06,320 Speaker 1: we were going shopping and getting some things for post surgery. However, 112 00:05:06,480 --> 00:05:09,799 Speaker 1: grandmother met us at the hospital. At the first appointment, 113 00:05:09,920 --> 00:05:12,919 Speaker 1: she began demanding to take my mom's spot in the 114 00:05:12,960 --> 00:05:15,599 Speaker 1: appointment room, saying she had a lot more right to 115 00:05:15,640 --> 00:05:18,520 Speaker 1: be there in that room because she knew more than 116 00:05:18,560 --> 00:05:19,520 Speaker 1: my mom did. 117 00:05:19,800 --> 00:05:23,360 Speaker 2: What what that's like, that's so stupid. That logic makes 118 00:05:23,400 --> 00:05:27,960 Speaker 2: no sense. Like, if someone's sick, only the nearest doctor 119 00:05:28,200 --> 00:05:30,120 Speaker 2: in your family is the only one that could be 120 00:05:30,160 --> 00:05:32,640 Speaker 2: in there. Yeah, it's like, Mom, you can't be in there. 121 00:05:33,040 --> 00:05:37,839 Speaker 2: My third cousin is a doctor, so so yeah, hierarchy, hierarchy, 122 00:05:38,160 --> 00:05:39,159 Speaker 2: he's got to be in there. 123 00:05:39,920 --> 00:05:43,279 Speaker 1: It go. It doesn't go by closeness. It goes by education. 124 00:05:43,720 --> 00:05:45,760 Speaker 2: Doctor. She should experience. I'm a doctorate. 125 00:05:46,040 --> 00:05:47,800 Speaker 1: If you had a doctor, you could do anything. 126 00:05:47,880 --> 00:05:48,880 Speaker 2: I could do anything. 127 00:05:48,920 --> 00:05:51,360 Speaker 1: Man, I can give people druggs. You got to do that. Now. 128 00:05:51,520 --> 00:05:54,880 Speaker 1: I don't want to follow this footsteps step whose footsteps? 129 00:05:55,880 --> 00:05:58,320 Speaker 1: I don't think she knows. My mother the mother of 130 00:05:58,440 --> 00:06:00,960 Speaker 1: my brother. Before my mom could say anything, my brother 131 00:06:01,080 --> 00:06:04,200 Speaker 1: put his foot down, which shut Grandma up for a bit. 132 00:06:04,360 --> 00:06:07,560 Speaker 1: She pouted in the corner while my brother and my 133 00:06:07,640 --> 00:06:10,320 Speaker 1: parents went into the appointment with him. The appointment took 134 00:06:10,360 --> 00:06:12,599 Speaker 1: about an hour or so. My stepmom and I began 135 00:06:12,640 --> 00:06:14,880 Speaker 1: getting ready to go shopping for a bit, catching up 136 00:06:14,880 --> 00:06:17,600 Speaker 1: and deciding where to go. Grandma stepped in and demanded 137 00:06:17,640 --> 00:06:19,840 Speaker 1: that we stay, wanna buy here alone. We denied her, 138 00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:22,080 Speaker 1: saying that we wanted it to just be us and 139 00:06:22,120 --> 00:06:23,880 Speaker 1: I had seen my stepmom in a while. Then the 140 00:06:23,880 --> 00:06:26,880 Speaker 1: conversation took a turn for the worst. She began calling 141 00:06:26,920 --> 00:06:29,720 Speaker 1: me a disappointment for not thinking of my grandmother and 142 00:06:29,839 --> 00:06:32,720 Speaker 1: how I was just such an ungrateful brat. She ran 143 00:06:32,800 --> 00:06:35,679 Speaker 1: it about how she would be alive to spend another 144 00:06:35,760 --> 00:06:39,240 Speaker 1: moment with her grandmother, and how I never know she 145 00:06:39,360 --> 00:06:42,680 Speaker 1: might just drop passed away. She might just drop, She 146 00:06:42,880 --> 00:06:46,600 Speaker 1: just might drop. She started demanding why I didn't defend 147 00:06:46,640 --> 00:06:48,400 Speaker 1: her and why I blocked her. I was not a 148 00:06:48,400 --> 00:06:51,159 Speaker 1: good mood after years of abuse from this hag that 149 00:06:51,240 --> 00:06:53,359 Speaker 1: burnt out of high school, and the fact that it 150 00:06:53,400 --> 00:06:55,640 Speaker 1: was nine o'clock in the morning. I simply replied in 151 00:06:55,800 --> 00:06:58,839 Speaker 1: with a short tone, if you dropped passed away right now, 152 00:06:58,920 --> 00:07:02,280 Speaker 1: I couldn't care less, turned on my heel with my 153 00:07:02,320 --> 00:07:03,400 Speaker 1: mom and went shopping. 154 00:07:03,480 --> 00:07:06,680 Speaker 2: Oo, hope you did like a little If you passed 155 00:07:06,720 --> 00:07:09,159 Speaker 2: away right now. I couldn't care less she did like 156 00:07:09,160 --> 00:07:11,000 Speaker 2: a she did like a passed away drop. 157 00:07:11,320 --> 00:07:13,000 Speaker 1: Would you gift dead people? 158 00:07:13,200 --> 00:07:15,240 Speaker 2: Would you gift them just a joke? 159 00:07:15,280 --> 00:07:17,440 Speaker 1: Where they're going shopping? So she could probably pick up 160 00:07:17,440 --> 00:07:19,720 Speaker 1: Grandma something I could he for, like some coffin ear rings. 161 00:07:20,240 --> 00:07:22,160 Speaker 2: You can you give her some flowers through your grave. 162 00:07:22,480 --> 00:07:26,440 Speaker 1: Exactly after the CT we decided to go out as 163 00:07:26,480 --> 00:07:29,560 Speaker 1: a family until the next appointment. Grandma took this opportunity 164 00:07:29,600 --> 00:07:32,720 Speaker 1: to take control. She started directing us places where she 165 00:07:32,880 --> 00:07:35,200 Speaker 1: wanted to go, places she thought my brother would like, 166 00:07:35,320 --> 00:07:38,200 Speaker 1: and she kept asking my brother to buy things for her. 167 00:07:38,320 --> 00:07:41,880 Speaker 1: The brother was cancer, because apparently this situation was just 168 00:07:41,920 --> 00:07:44,080 Speaker 1: as hard on her as it was my brother. What, 169 00:07:44,640 --> 00:07:47,640 Speaker 1: oh my lord, hey, can you buy me something? Why 170 00:07:47,680 --> 00:07:50,040 Speaker 1: are we telling our grandkids to buy us stuff. 171 00:07:49,800 --> 00:07:53,040 Speaker 2: Amy something? Because your cancer is really it is really 172 00:07:53,080 --> 00:07:53,880 Speaker 2: bringing me down. 173 00:07:54,320 --> 00:07:58,080 Speaker 1: That makes no sense at all none. My step mom 174 00:07:58,160 --> 00:08:01,360 Speaker 1: and I double teamed Grandma whenever she started pestering my 175 00:08:01,400 --> 00:08:04,160 Speaker 1: brother over the smallest things, like she wasn't allowed in 176 00:08:04,200 --> 00:08:07,040 Speaker 1: the appointment, We separated them quickly and into the conversation 177 00:08:07,120 --> 00:08:10,200 Speaker 1: before it escalated. Finally, it was time for the second 178 00:08:10,360 --> 00:08:13,760 Speaker 1: appointment instead of shopping, I sent the appointment time doing 179 00:08:13,800 --> 00:08:16,280 Speaker 1: school work, and I was missing a few days. Not 180 00:08:16,400 --> 00:08:19,800 Speaker 1: to mention, I was emotionally drained from trying to parent 181 00:08:20,040 --> 00:08:23,240 Speaker 1: a boomer. Grandma started pestering me, though this time she 182 00:08:23,400 --> 00:08:26,240 Speaker 1: was a bit nicer, asking about school and such. I'd 183 00:08:26,240 --> 00:08:29,080 Speaker 1: bean talking about my plans for senior year in college. 184 00:08:29,240 --> 00:08:31,440 Speaker 1: She then started trying to tell me what I should 185 00:08:31,440 --> 00:08:34,160 Speaker 1: do with my life, that I should follow my father's footsteps, 186 00:08:34,240 --> 00:08:37,600 Speaker 1: become a respiratory therapist or something better. Yet, a CNA 187 00:08:37,679 --> 00:08:39,720 Speaker 1: like her told her no, that I planned to become 188 00:08:39,760 --> 00:08:42,840 Speaker 1: either a psychologist or a physical therapist. That was final. 189 00:08:42,960 --> 00:08:46,640 Speaker 1: She pouted and then started telling me what classes I 190 00:08:46,679 --> 00:08:49,920 Speaker 1: should take for my senior year, insisting my schedule would 191 00:08:49,960 --> 00:08:52,080 Speaker 1: be too hard for me. She said that sometimes it 192 00:08:52,120 --> 00:08:54,079 Speaker 1: was a bit of a slow and might not be 193 00:08:54,160 --> 00:08:57,040 Speaker 1: able to handle calculus and physics. At the same time, 194 00:08:57,160 --> 00:08:59,240 Speaker 1: I've been my tongue and ignored her. She got angry 195 00:08:59,280 --> 00:09:01,560 Speaker 1: at me for ignoring her, and all that could muster 196 00:09:01,920 --> 00:09:04,880 Speaker 1: was this is why no one wants you around. 197 00:09:05,240 --> 00:09:08,800 Speaker 2: Oh he is not taking any freaking crap man, Dude, 198 00:09:09,120 --> 00:09:10,800 Speaker 2: you this is why you should just go ahead and 199 00:09:10,880 --> 00:09:14,360 Speaker 2: drop dead. She would say that though she did she 200 00:09:14,440 --> 00:09:15,640 Speaker 2: did say that though. Yeah. 201 00:09:15,720 --> 00:09:18,280 Speaker 1: That shut her up for a while. Finally, lunchtime came 202 00:09:18,400 --> 00:09:21,320 Speaker 1: and we went to my brother's restaurant. Choice. Dude, it's 203 00:09:21,360 --> 00:09:22,000 Speaker 1: now lunch. 204 00:09:22,280 --> 00:09:26,480 Speaker 2: Dang, you got a long day. He's just now lunch. 205 00:09:26,640 --> 00:09:29,640 Speaker 2: Oh my god, you got ahead of you. 206 00:09:29,960 --> 00:09:34,280 Speaker 1: Oh. Grandma complained about the restaurant and then tried to 207 00:09:34,320 --> 00:09:36,520 Speaker 1: tell us what to order. When she heard I had 208 00:09:36,600 --> 00:09:41,160 Speaker 1: ordered enchiladas, she started ranting about my cholesterol and wait, saying, 209 00:09:41,360 --> 00:09:44,120 Speaker 1: you know, a fat pete is a bad pete. I 210 00:09:44,240 --> 00:09:47,000 Speaker 1: move seats, leaving her alone at the end of the table. 211 00:09:47,080 --> 00:09:49,520 Speaker 1: When the waiter came, she tried to change my order 212 00:09:49,640 --> 00:09:51,960 Speaker 1: to a salad. Mom stepped in and told her to 213 00:09:52,000 --> 00:09:52,880 Speaker 1: shut the f up. 214 00:09:53,000 --> 00:09:55,920 Speaker 2: Nobody likes his grandma. I love that. Everyone's just like, 215 00:09:56,000 --> 00:09:59,880 Speaker 2: shut you up, Grandma, grandma. And the girl was like, 216 00:10:02,240 --> 00:10:05,559 Speaker 2: no one is dealing with this Grandma's crap. Man. The 217 00:10:05,600 --> 00:10:07,679 Speaker 2: Grandma's like, you should change your career to mine, and 218 00:10:07,720 --> 00:10:10,000 Speaker 2: everyone's like, shut up, Jesus, Grandma. 219 00:10:10,240 --> 00:10:13,240 Speaker 1: We're treating her like Jerry from Parks and rec But 220 00:10:13,400 --> 00:10:17,040 Speaker 1: she deserves this. My dad gave her the glare of doom. 221 00:10:17,280 --> 00:10:20,480 Speaker 1: She finally shut up. That night, she pestered me to 222 00:10:20,520 --> 00:10:23,120 Speaker 1: stay at her hotel. I refused, not wanting to leave 223 00:10:23,120 --> 00:10:26,280 Speaker 1: my mom alone. She tried to drag me away by arm, 224 00:10:26,280 --> 00:10:29,199 Speaker 1: calling me a brat. I pulled away and called her 225 00:10:29,320 --> 00:10:32,200 Speaker 1: an effing hag. The next day we learned she had 226 00:10:32,240 --> 00:10:35,360 Speaker 1: gone home because she knows when she's not wanted. Doubtful, 227 00:10:35,520 --> 00:10:38,160 Speaker 1: she sent us all a long string of text saying 228 00:10:38,240 --> 00:10:40,880 Speaker 1: how disappointed she wasn't us for not respecting her, and 229 00:10:40,920 --> 00:10:43,840 Speaker 1: how stressed she was about my brother's possible cancer. I 230 00:10:43,840 --> 00:10:45,960 Speaker 1: ignored her. The rest of the trip went well. My 231 00:10:46,040 --> 00:10:50,199 Speaker 1: brother surgery went well.

However, throughout the dinner, 311 00:14:17,960 --> 00:14:21,120 Speaker 1: she was making sly comments about the ring being too 312 00:14:21,240 --> 00:14:24,160 Speaker 1: fancy and my mom being a shallow for wanting such 313 00:14:24,160 --> 00:14:26,760 Speaker 1: a nice rn. I've seen the ring.

The dinner was at 318 00:14:39,600 --> 00:14:42,120 Speaker 1: Double hockey Sticks, and when my parents went home, they 319 00:14:42,120 --> 00:14:45,280 Speaker 1: didn't talk much. Then the planning went to heck. My 320 00:14:45,400 --> 00:14:48,040 Speaker 1: mom and dad wanted to be married within a year 321 00:14:48,080 --> 00:14:50,760 Speaker 1: of the proposal, mostly due to finances and because my 322 00:14:50,880 --> 00:14:54,080 Speaker 1: mom wanted to start having children. My grandma disagreed they 323 00:14:54,160 --> 00:14:56,720 Speaker 1: were moving too fast, and when my mom mentioned her 324 00:14:56,760 --> 00:14:59,400 Speaker 1: plan for children, all of a sudden she was too 325 00:14:59,440 --> 00:15:02,880 Speaker 1: old for me having kids. Mind you, she even said 326 00:15:03,000 --> 00:15:05,520 Speaker 1: that if my mom wanted children, she should have stayed 327 00:15:05,520 --> 00:15:08,120 Speaker 1: with her ex fiance instead of marrying her son. Keep 328 00:15:08,160 --> 00:15:10,480 Speaker 1: in mind, my mom was twenty five and if they 329 00:15:10,520 --> 00:15:13,640 Speaker 1: got married, she'd be twenty six. Then Grandma began telling 330 00:15:13,680 --> 00:15:16,520 Speaker 1: her to stop pursuing her career because it would be 331 00:15:16,560 --> 00:15:18,880 Speaker 1: easier just to be stay at home wife, especially if 332 00:15:18,880 --> 00:15:21,200 Speaker 1: she want to get to My mom didn't stop her career. 333 00:15:21,320 --> 00:15:23,560 Speaker 1: She ended up just ignoring Grandma for the most part, 334 00:15:23,640 --> 00:15:27,320 Speaker 1: ignoring phone calls, texts, and messages, which calls Grandma to 335 00:15:27,360 --> 00:15:29,680 Speaker 1: have a conniption fit and go crying to my dad. 336 00:15:29,760 --> 00:15:30,600 Speaker 1: Here's the responts. 337 00:15:30,600 --> 00:15:32,680 Speaker 2: Okay, okay, oh Grandma. 338 00:15:32,920 --> 00:15:36,440 Speaker 1: Her behavior continued throughout the wedding planning. Everything had to 339 00:15:36,480 --> 00:15:38,840 Speaker 1: be her way. The church was never right, the arch, 340 00:15:39,000 --> 00:15:41,920 Speaker 1: the dates, the gas list. She tried to convince my 341 00:15:42,000 --> 00:15:44,600 Speaker 1: parents to push back their wedding to fit her and 342 00:15:44,640 --> 00:15:47,520 Speaker 1: her friends schedules, and when my mom denied her friends 343 00:15:47,560 --> 00:15:50,680 Speaker 1: from coming, she threatened not to attend. My parents budged 344 00:15:50,720 --> 00:15:53,760 Speaker 1: only slightly, mostly with the church because my mom wasn't 345 00:15:53,760 --> 00:15:56,800 Speaker 1: particularly attached to one. Grandma tried to convince them to 346 00:15:56,840 --> 00:15:59,680 Speaker 1: get married in her church. The problem my parents lived 347 00:15:59,680 --> 00:16:03,600 Speaker 1: in Chicken Up, well, my grandma lived in Wisconsin down. 348 00:16:03,880 --> 00:16:07,280 Speaker 1: The church was also incredibly small. It was a town 349 00:16:07,360 --> 00:16:10,280 Speaker 1: of under two thousand people. Yeah that's a small town, 350 00:16:10,720 --> 00:16:13,560 Speaker 1: dang man. While my mom and dad had a small 351 00:16:13,560 --> 00:16:16,320 Speaker 1: wedding with only family and a handful of friends, it 352 00:16:16,440 --> 00:16:19,120 Speaker 1: still wouldn't have fit my mom's side. Grandma witched and 353 00:16:19,240 --> 00:16:21,800 Speaker 1: moaned about not having the wedding at her church until 354 00:16:21,840 --> 00:16:24,880 Speaker 1: my grandpa shut her up, saying he'd go without her. 355 00:16:25,000 --> 00:16:28,560 Speaker 1: No one likes Grandma, Yeah, dude, Grandpa is not even having. 356 00:16:29,240 --> 00:16:31,440 Speaker 2: Everyone is so dumb with her crap. 357 00:16:31,480 --> 00:16:33,440 Speaker 1: Like, how do you entertain this? How do you stay 358 00:16:33,440 --> 00:16:34,000 Speaker 1: around this? 359 00:16:34,200 --> 00:16:38,360 Speaker 2: But none of them they're just like, oh, Grandma, shut up, Grandma, 360 00:16:39,880 --> 00:16:40,440 Speaker 2: oh man. 361 00:16:40,880 --> 00:16:44,080 Speaker 1: Wedding dress shopping came around.

My mom hadn't invited her 367 00:16:59,680 --> 00:17:02,720 Speaker 1: to dress shopping. She didn't invite her own mother either, 368 00:17:02,880 --> 00:17:05,560 Speaker 1: since she lived in Florida and just had her bridesmaids there. 369 00:17:05,640 --> 00:17:10,120 Speaker 1: Grandma was infuriated. How dare she not invite her own 370 00:17:10,359 --> 00:17:13,040 Speaker 1: mother in law?

Wonder why? And that she had 397 00:18:12,480 --> 00:18:15,119 Speaker 1: always dreamed of picking out a dress for her daughter 398 00:18:15,200 --> 00:18:17,560 Speaker 1: and daughter in law. My mom broke her heart and 399 00:18:17,680 --> 00:18:20,440 Speaker 1: she saw the dress. Her lips pursed, her eyes widened. 400 00:18:20,560 --> 00:18:23,200 Speaker 1: She began tarring into it, saying it made my mom 401 00:18:23,240 --> 00:18:25,879 Speaker 1: look like a witch, and how dare she wear white 402 00:18:26,160 --> 00:18:27,080 Speaker 1: and lie. 403 00:18:26,800 --> 00:18:30,080 Speaker 2: To God years all the virgin talk again. 404 00:18:30,680 --> 00:18:33,000 Speaker 1: She said it looked like it came out of the umpster, 405 00:18:33,240 --> 00:18:36,320 Speaker 1: that it didn't flatter her, that she'd looked like a sausage. 406 00:18:36,440 --> 00:18:39,160 Speaker 1: My mom was so close to returning the dress because 407 00:18:39,200 --> 00:18:41,280 Speaker 1: she no longer felt beautiful in it, And so my 408 00:18:41,320 --> 00:18:44,200 Speaker 1: grandma or mom dug into a entitled grandma and making 409 00:18:44,240 --> 00:18:47,040 Speaker 1: her go crying to my dad like a beaten puppy. 410 00:18:47,240 --> 00:18:50,400 Speaker 1: Title Grandma cooled down for a little while. She stopped 411 00:18:50,400 --> 00:18:53,600 Speaker 1: going after my mom and instead went after my dad. 412 00:18:53,640 --> 00:18:56,640 Speaker 1: For the most part, my dad has always been the quiet, 413 00:18:56,840 --> 00:18:59,399 Speaker 1: stoic type. His way of dealing with this Mom was 414 00:18:59,480 --> 00:19:02,560 Speaker 1: a green with her, but never actually doing what she said. 415 00:19:02,640 --> 00:19:05,600 Speaker 1: You should have this selection of wine and beer. Okay, 416 00:19:05,720 --> 00:19:08,520 Speaker 1: doesn't do it. You should do this for the tables, Okay, 417 00:19:08,720 --> 00:19:09,320 Speaker 1: doesn't do it. 418 00:19:09,400 --> 00:19:10,440 Speaker 2: That's so funny. 419 00:19:10,600 --> 00:19:14,240 Speaker 1: You should say this Okay, doesn't do it. Okay, she's 420 00:19:14,320 --> 00:19:15,680 Speaker 1: just caring, irl. 421 00:19:16,200 --> 00:19:20,320 Speaker 2: Uh, huh ah, sure, that's maybe the best way to 422 00:19:20,320 --> 00:19:22,160 Speaker 2: do it, because then she feels like she's getting hurd 423 00:19:22,240 --> 00:19:23,640 Speaker 2: but you're not actually doing any of it. 424 00:19:23,880 --> 00:19:29,280 Speaker 1: Thanks do this, Grandma, Oh, bother this, Grandma. This method 425 00:19:29,440 --> 00:19:32,560 Speaker 1: was rather effective at times. However, as she felt she 426 00:19:32,600 --> 00:19:35,440 Speaker 1: wasn't getting her way or nagging got her worners, she 427 00:19:35,560 --> 00:19:39,960 Speaker 1: became more bold and started calling caterers and Flora's to 428 00:19:40,040 --> 00:19:43,600 Speaker 1: change my parents' plans. Guys, and that's why we have 429 00:19:43,880 --> 00:19:48,400 Speaker 1: what passwords? Passwords. That's why we have passwords with our floras, 430 00:19:48,400 --> 00:19:50,879 Speaker 1: our caterers, everyone for our weddings. 431 00:19:50,920 --> 00:19:55,240 Speaker 2: Passwords because you don't know who's after you. Anyone could 432 00:19:55,240 --> 00:19:58,480 Speaker 2: be after you at all times. Watch your back. You're 433 00:19:58,520 --> 00:19:59,199 Speaker 2: not safe. 434 00:20:01,040 --> 00:20:04,840 Speaker 1: What's safe? Always have passwords for your caterers. I'm gonna 435 00:20:04,840 --> 00:20:06,880 Speaker 1: get reading the story and we'll fix so far. 436 00:20:06,960 --> 00:20:07,960 Speaker 2: I'm gonna cool down. 437 00:20:08,480 --> 00:20:11,320 Speaker 1: My mom and my dad had told them ahead of time. 438 00:20:11,440 --> 00:20:14,640 Speaker 1: Don't change anything unless you hear it from us. After 439 00:20:14,680 --> 00:20:17,800 Speaker 1: a few calls of fighting, arguing and shouting, she stopped, 440 00:20:17,840 --> 00:20:20,480 Speaker 1: mostly because my dad threatened to uninvite her if she 441 00:20:20,600 --> 00:20:23,439 Speaker 1: kept going cat this. Her nagging went from the wedding 442 00:20:23,440 --> 00:20:26,080 Speaker 1: workers to him. She nagged him so much that he 443 00:20:26,200 --> 00:20:30,680 Speaker 1: had to go to er for severe migraines and headaches twice. 444 00:20:31,200 --> 00:20:35,360 Speaker 1: What it was that bad? Yea yea goodness gracious. 445 00:20:35,359 --> 00:20:37,000 Speaker 2: I mean, if she's just in your ear going, come on, 446 00:20:37,080 --> 00:20:39,280 Speaker 2: you have do this? You do this, I mean, need 447 00:20:39,359 --> 00:20:40,960 Speaker 2: more of anc And it's like, oh my god, I 448 00:20:40,960 --> 00:20:41,399 Speaker 2: have headache. 449 00:20:41,600 --> 00:20:44,600 Speaker 1: I'm done, I'm done, I'm out of there. So finally 450 00:20:44,760 --> 00:20:47,000 Speaker 1: the wedding came. It was going to happen the way 451 00:20:47,119 --> 00:20:50,080 Speaker 1: my parents wanted. She could make petty comments and remarks, 452 00:20:50,240 --> 00:20:53,200 Speaker 1: but she wasn't going to ruin this day for my mom. 453 00:20:53,520 --> 00:20:57,240 Speaker 1: Well Dot Dot, as you all know, she's the pain 454 00:20:57,520 --> 00:21:00,320 Speaker 1: and the old rooster. So you could have probably see 455 00:21:00,320 --> 00:21:03,200 Speaker 1: this coming from a mile away. She wore a wedding 456 00:21:03,240 --> 00:21:04,399 Speaker 1: dress to the wedding. 457 00:21:04,920 --> 00:21:08,240 Speaker 2: Grandma, this is the ultimate. 458 00:21:07,880 --> 00:21:10,640 Speaker 1: Thing that you cannot do. What did we not wear 459 00:21:10,680 --> 00:21:13,600 Speaker 1: a wedding Sophia's wedding dresses? And what else? 460 00:21:13,920 --> 00:21:14,320 Speaker 2: White? 461 00:21:14,560 --> 00:21:17,000 Speaker 1: Whitch? We never wear whites, no matter if the bride 462 00:21:17,040 --> 00:21:18,800 Speaker 1: tells you, no matter if the groom tells you, no 463 00:21:18,840 --> 00:21:21,840 Speaker 1: matter whoever tells you, never wear whites. It ain't that hard, 464 00:21:21,960 --> 00:21:23,720 Speaker 1: and no one told you? And why this is not 465 00:21:23,760 --> 00:21:25,680 Speaker 1: your wedding. Are you gonna get married to your son? Yeah? 466 00:21:25,760 --> 00:21:27,359 Speaker 2: You freak, you freak. 467 00:21:27,680 --> 00:21:28,800 Speaker 1: This is the worst thing you can do. 468 00:21:29,040 --> 00:21:30,200 Speaker 2: I'm back, I'm back. 469 00:21:30,320 --> 00:21:34,720 Speaker 1: I'm so big now, Sofia Sophia Sophia. In fact, Grandma 470 00:21:34,960 --> 00:21:38,119 Speaker 1: with the same wedding dress. She had one in my 471 00:21:38,200 --> 00:21:41,920 Speaker 1: mom to wear. She even arrived with a little entourage 472 00:21:41,960 --> 00:21:44,000 Speaker 1: of guests, also in wedding dresses. 473 00:21:44,160 --> 00:21:47,720 Speaker 2: She brought a clue. She pulled up with the entourage. Grandma, 474 00:21:47,880 --> 00:21:49,679 Speaker 2: how do you have any friends? How do you have 475 00:21:49,720 --> 00:21:52,360 Speaker 2: any friends? Grandma? No one seems to like you. How 476 00:21:52,359 --> 00:21:55,159 Speaker 2: did you find these friends? Did you pay for them? Grandma? 477 00:21:55,280 --> 00:21:57,879 Speaker 2: Be honest, did you pay for these friends? Because that's embarrassing. 478 00:21:58,240 --> 00:22:01,480 Speaker 1: She brought a group, she brought the autogy cool. Also, 479 00:22:01,560 --> 00:22:04,200 Speaker 1: if we're going by your standards, you should be wearing 480 00:22:04,200 --> 00:22:04,840 Speaker 1: wide at a wedding. 481 00:22:04,880 --> 00:22:08,040 Speaker 3: Either it's true, go we're red, we're black. It's somebody's funeral, 482 00:22:08,119 --> 00:22:08,520 Speaker 3: It's true. 483 00:22:08,520 --> 00:22:09,600 Speaker 2: That would have been pretty iconic. 484 00:22:09,800 --> 00:22:12,600 Speaker 1: My dad took one look at them, walked away and 485 00:22:12,640 --> 00:22:16,240 Speaker 1: had her friends punted out. Grandma stayed because trying to 486 00:22:16,240 --> 00:22:18,280 Speaker 1: punt her out would have caused the cops to be 487 00:22:18,320 --> 00:22:21,320 Speaker 1: called and more headaches. Than they wanted. The wedding continued, 488 00:22:21,400 --> 00:22:24,840 Speaker 1: but Grandma wasn't allowed in photos. That was my dad's 489 00:22:24,880 --> 00:22:28,000 Speaker 1: first wedding. My mom says divorcing my father was such 490 00:22:28,119 --> 00:22:30,760 Speaker 1: a relief because she could finally get away from his 491 00:22:30,880 --> 00:22:33,200 Speaker 1: crappy mother. My dad, on the other hand, is stuck 492 00:22:33,200 --> 00:22:35,800 Speaker 1: with her until she passes away. So this is new life. 493 00:22:35,840 --> 00:22:38,640 Speaker 1: So the lady was that he was with is his 494 00:22:38,640 --> 00:22:39,000 Speaker 1: new mom. 495 00:22:39,119 --> 00:22:41,720 Speaker 2: Stepmom got you, and so she seems like a little 496 00:22:41,720 --> 00:22:44,640 Speaker 2: bit more reasonable than this other mother. 497 00:22:45,040 --> 00:22:47,920 Speaker 1: I wonder if they got divorced because of like the mom. 498 00:22:48,200 --> 00:22:50,600 Speaker 1: Probably Also, if I took this back to my room, 499 00:22:50,680 --> 00:22:53,480 Speaker 1: do you think anyone would notice? No, because Sam fought 500 00:22:53,480 --> 00:22:54,359 Speaker 1: me on this so hard. 501 00:22:54,840 --> 00:22:56,879 Speaker 2: It's not even in the other like the studio. 502 00:22:57,160 --> 00:22:58,080 Speaker 1: I might take it back. 503 00:22:58,200 --> 00:22:59,640 Speaker 2: Wait, go to your full thing. 504 00:22:59,760 --> 00:23:00,480 Speaker 1: Yeah, it's not. 505 00:23:00,440 --> 00:23:01,320 Speaker 2: Even in the camera. 506 00:23:01,600 --> 00:23:04,400 Speaker 1: Guys. Sam wanted this to be in here for so long. 507 00:23:04,480 --> 00:23:06,560 Speaker 1: He thoughted, I got this for free, and he had, 508 00:23:06,600 --> 00:23:08,920 Speaker 1: and he bought me another one is good. No, that 509 00:23:08,960 --> 00:23:11,120 Speaker 1: one's fun. It's just this is mine. Didn't he give 510 00:23:11,200 --> 00:23:14,520 Speaker 1: it to you this one? No, April gave this to me. Ah, yeah, 511 00:23:14,600 --> 00:23:16,040 Speaker 1: and then he took it from me and put it 512 00:23:16,080 --> 00:23:17,520 Speaker 1: in here. He would go in my room, take it 513 00:23:17,560 --> 00:23:17,920 Speaker 1: and put it in. 514 00:23:18,359 --> 00:23:19,600 Speaker 2: I thought that's originally him. 515 00:23:19,760 --> 00:23:23,040 Speaker 1: No, no, no, I got it. I originally did try 516 00:23:23,080 --> 00:23:24,280 Speaker 1: to give to him. He didn't want his room, so 517 00:23:24,320 --> 00:23:28,119 Speaker 1: I put in my room. I see. So his new wife, 518 00:23:28,119 --> 00:23:30,040 Speaker 1: my step mom, my dad, and my step mom got 519 00:23:30,080 --> 00:23:32,760 Speaker 1: engaged during New Year's of twenty nineteen, twenty twenty. They 520 00:23:32,840 --> 00:23:35,440 Speaker 1: planned on a one year engagement, mostly because they wanted 521 00:23:35,440 --> 00:23:37,480 Speaker 1: to get it over with since they've been together for 522 00:23:37,520 --> 00:23:39,840 Speaker 1: about eight to nine years. Getting married at this point 523 00:23:40,040 --> 00:23:43,040 Speaker 1: was just formality to tie things together. Would they announce 524 00:23:43,080 --> 00:23:45,360 Speaker 1: the date? They said it for Grandma's birthday. 525 00:23:47,200 --> 00:23:49,720 Speaker 2: No one likes Grandma. Moral of the story, Grandma sucks 526 00:23:49,920 --> 00:23:53,080 Speaker 2: and they're gonna make sure that she gets what she deserves. 527 00:23:53,240 --> 00:23:55,439 Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, everyone's like, what is it? Okay, can you 528 00:23:55,520 --> 00:23:57,560 Speaker 1: zoom out? It's a lamp. You just zoom out. We're 529 00:23:57,560 --> 00:23:58,280 Speaker 1: gonna have to zoom out. 530 00:23:59,320 --> 00:24:01,040 Speaker 2: Look, wait, put on me. 531 00:24:01,359 --> 00:24:01,960 Speaker 1: It's a lamp. 532 00:24:02,119 --> 00:24:02,920 Speaker 2: See it's a lamp. 533 00:24:05,400 --> 00:24:06,920 Speaker 1: It was really nice. It's really nice. 534 00:24:07,240 --> 00:24:08,320 Speaker 2: All right, she's a lamp. 535 00:24:08,359 --> 00:24:10,240 Speaker 1: Sorry, it's like, it's not even in here. It's just 536 00:24:10,280 --> 00:24:11,200 Speaker 1: for the vibes of the room. 537 00:24:11,359 --> 00:24:11,840 Speaker 2: Yeah. 538 00:24:11,880 --> 00:24:14,800 Speaker 1: When they announced the date. They said it for grandma's birthday. Okay, 539 00:24:14,840 --> 00:24:16,880 Speaker 1: this is the worst thing you could do to yourselves. 540 00:24:16,880 --> 00:24:19,080 Speaker 1: Why don't you do that? She was ecstatic at first, 541 00:24:19,160 --> 00:24:21,879 Speaker 1: until she realized her birthday would have to be shared 542 00:24:22,119 --> 00:24:25,840 Speaker 1: in private. She witched to her gaggle of cronies about 543 00:24:25,920 --> 00:24:27,880 Speaker 1: the wedding being on her birth. 544 00:24:27,720 --> 00:24:29,960 Speaker 2: Yeah, it's on purpose, it's on purpose. 545 00:24:30,280 --> 00:24:32,280 Speaker 1: The VID hit and the wedding got pushed back to 546 00:24:32,320 --> 00:24:35,280 Speaker 1: twenty twenty two with a different date her next birthday instead, 547 00:24:35,440 --> 00:24:38,639 Speaker 1: it was now on my step mom's mom's birthday. Are 548 00:24:38,680 --> 00:24:41,000 Speaker 1: you doing on people's birthday? Yeah? Yeah, Well what's up 549 00:24:41,040 --> 00:24:43,639 Speaker 1: with this? There were other days in the year. Yeah, 550 00:24:43,720 --> 00:24:46,879 Speaker 1: her mom had long past. They figured this was a 551 00:24:46,880 --> 00:24:49,200 Speaker 1: good way to include her. All right, makes sense now, 552 00:24:49,640 --> 00:24:53,439 Speaker 1: Q the new usual nagging. How dare she make it 553 00:24:53,440 --> 00:24:56,159 Speaker 1: about her mother? By this point, my dad had grown 554 00:24:56,359 --> 00:24:59,160 Speaker 1: a backbone and started putting his mom in his place. 555 00:24:59,240 --> 00:25:01,200 Speaker 1: Maybe it's just so sobriety. 556 00:25:01,480 --> 00:25:04,480 Speaker 2: What's that like when you don't drink, like being soberty, 557 00:25:04,680 --> 00:25:05,840 Speaker 2: sobriety liberty. 558 00:25:06,480 --> 00:25:10,000 Speaker 1: Maybe it was his sobriety, or maybe it was because 559 00:25:10,119 --> 00:25:12,480 Speaker 1: he'd been through one wedding and wasn't about to go 560 00:25:12,560 --> 00:25:16,560 Speaker 1: through a third Grandma tried her usual tactics, trying to 561 00:25:16,600 --> 00:25:18,800 Speaker 1: butt in and make things about her. It had to 562 00:25:18,800 --> 00:25:22,240 Speaker 1: be her way, but with a few tongue lashes, it 563 00:25:22,320 --> 00:25:24,800 Speaker 1: stopped until it came to me. Over the VID, I 564 00:25:24,880 --> 00:25:27,880 Speaker 1: gained about fifty pounds due to stress and pain. I 565 00:25:27,560 --> 00:25:30,720 Speaker 1: had a lot going on that resulted in me being overweight. 566 00:25:30,840 --> 00:25:33,520 Speaker 1: Since then, I've been turning that weight into muscle. But then, 567 00:25:33,600 --> 00:25:36,359 Speaker 1: back then, I still had a lot of muscle definition. 568 00:25:36,560 --> 00:25:39,639 Speaker 1: In fact, I had huge, swimmer shoulders, which made it 569 00:25:39,680 --> 00:25:43,080 Speaker 1: difficult to find some dresses. My stepmom wanted simple black 570 00:25:43,160 --> 00:25:45,800 Speaker 1: dresses for us. We could decide the style. It just 571 00:25:45,880 --> 00:25:48,640 Speaker 1: had to be black with open shoulders. I coordinated with 572 00:25:48,680 --> 00:25:52,159 Speaker 1: my stepsister to make sure we got the same dress. Grandma, however, 573 00:25:52,320 --> 00:25:55,159 Speaker 1: wanted me to get a different dress. When that was 574 00:25:55,240 --> 00:26:00,320 Speaker 1: freely not black, gold, even cream, I immediately decline. I 575 00:26:00,359 --> 00:26:02,080 Speaker 1: knew what she was trying to do. The only reason 576 00:26:02,160 --> 00:26:04,800 Speaker 1: she was even dress shopping with me was because I 577 00:26:04,840 --> 00:26:07,520 Speaker 1: was thirteen, couldn't drive. She's trying to trick you, and 578 00:26:07,600 --> 00:26:10,399 Speaker 1: didn't have my step mom's card like she did. I 579 00:26:10,440 --> 00:26:12,720 Speaker 1: picked out the same dress as my stepsister and got 580 00:26:12,760 --> 00:26:14,960 Speaker 1: it in black. It needed to be special to order 581 00:26:15,160 --> 00:26:17,840 Speaker 1: since it didn't have my size. They had one smaller 582 00:26:17,960 --> 00:26:20,080 Speaker 1: and one bigger, so I was able to try those 583 00:26:20,119 --> 00:26:23,600 Speaker 1: on and get approximate fit. Grandma did not like the dress. 584 00:26:23,800 --> 00:26:24,600 Speaker 1: Who would have thought? 585 00:26:24,840 --> 00:26:27,359 Speaker 2: Who could have thunk? She's like, it doesn't look like 586 00:26:27,400 --> 00:26:29,679 Speaker 2: a wedding dress enough, and then I need you to 587 00:26:30,680 --> 00:26:33,840 Speaker 2: bring me along and we're gonna steal all of the 588 00:26:33,880 --> 00:26:37,040 Speaker 2: spotlight from the wedding. You're part of my plan, now, 589 00:26:38,840 --> 00:26:41,280 Speaker 2: Kata Rainsa's get Grammy a blog or something with all 590 00:26:41,280 --> 00:26:42,320 Speaker 2: of them opinions. 591 00:26:42,600 --> 00:26:46,680 Speaker 1: Yo, literally, yeah, she canna be like that dog. What 592 00:26:46,840 --> 00:26:48,119 Speaker 1: dog dog with a blog? 593 00:26:48,200 --> 00:26:49,840 Speaker 2: Dog with a blog? 594 00:26:50,160 --> 00:26:54,000 Speaker 1: Throw back Clinton Clinton. Grandma did not like the dress. 595 00:26:54,080 --> 00:26:56,800 Speaker 1: It was simple, flowy skirt that hit the ankles and 596 00:26:56,840 --> 00:26:59,879 Speaker 1: the buoyance crossed over for a little design. For the 597 00:27:00,080 --> 00:27:03,280 Speaker 1: most part, it was modest. The only thing really shown 598 00:27:03,520 --> 00:27:05,600 Speaker 1: was my face on arms. Grandma didn't like that my 599 00:27:05,760 --> 00:27:08,800 Speaker 1: arms were exposed because people could see my strawberry skin 600 00:27:08,960 --> 00:27:11,080 Speaker 1: and my muscles. She said it made me look like 601 00:27:11,119 --> 00:27:12,359 Speaker 1: a man, like a lock. 602 00:27:13,240 --> 00:27:19,040 Speaker 4: That's like a compliment, like like, oh yeah, let's see them. Like, hey, thanks, Grandma, 603 00:27:19,080 --> 00:27:19,720 Speaker 4: I've been working out. 604 00:27:19,800 --> 00:27:22,400 Speaker 1: Thanks, I've been actually working on myself. Thank you. 605 00:27:22,440 --> 00:27:24,639 Speaker 3: How about you? What you look like? A look like 606 00:27:24,680 --> 00:27:26,359 Speaker 3: the hunchback of Notre Dame. 607 00:27:26,480 --> 00:27:29,320 Speaker 1: Dang going cross keyon. He'll call you out like like 608 00:27:29,720 --> 00:27:33,120 Speaker 1: you look? She said, it made me look like a man, 609 00:27:33,400 --> 00:27:35,440 Speaker 1: like a log. She told me I was too fat 610 00:27:35,440 --> 00:27:37,280 Speaker 1: for it. While she put me down, I didn't care. 611 00:27:37,359 --> 00:27:39,680 Speaker 1: I sent a picture to my stepmom and she loved it. 612 00:27:39,760 --> 00:27:42,199 Speaker 1: I told Grandma this was the dress we were going with, 613 00:27:42,320 --> 00:27:45,080 Speaker 1: and that was final. When we put in the order ticket, 614 00:27:45,200 --> 00:27:47,639 Speaker 1: she tried to order a different style in the color 615 00:27:47,760 --> 00:27:50,479 Speaker 1: she wanted. I'd already talked to the worker beforehand and 616 00:27:50,520 --> 00:27:53,160 Speaker 1: warned them, hey, she's gonna pull this. You put down 617 00:27:53,240 --> 00:27:55,480 Speaker 1: what I say, not what she says, because she will 618 00:27:55,520 --> 00:27:57,800 Speaker 1: ruined this wedding. I don't think the worker took me 619 00:27:57,880 --> 00:28:01,800 Speaker 1: seriously at first until they saw how Grandma was acting. Finally, 620 00:28:02,080 --> 00:28:04,359 Speaker 1: the dress shopping was done, and then it was to 621 00:28:04,440 --> 00:28:07,439 Speaker 1: shoe shopping. And you think maybe the dress was the 622 00:28:07,440 --> 00:28:09,920 Speaker 1: hardest part. Right, we got done doing dress shopping. 623 00:28:10,040 --> 00:28:10,880 Speaker 2: It's gonna get harder. 624 00:28:11,000 --> 00:28:12,840 Speaker 1: Getting shoes isn't gonna be that bad, right. 625 00:28:12,840 --> 00:28:15,720 Speaker 2: This is the peak. This is the climax, the hill 626 00:28:15,840 --> 00:28:18,159 Speaker 2: that you're gonna die on, that you're gonna pass away on. 627 00:28:19,400 --> 00:28:22,200 Speaker 1: I believe it. My stepmom had specific style of mind. 628 00:28:22,280 --> 00:28:26,040 Speaker 1: Black flats with a pointed toe, easy, you would think, right. 629 00:28:26,359 --> 00:28:28,960 Speaker 1: In general, I have trouble finding shoes. I wear size 630 00:28:28,960 --> 00:28:31,400 Speaker 1: six and women's, but I have white feet, so it's 631 00:28:31,400 --> 00:28:33,840 Speaker 1: a struggle. We had to go to three different shoe 632 00:28:33,840 --> 00:28:36,399 Speaker 1: stores to just find a pair. Grandma was angry it 633 00:28:36,520 --> 00:28:39,200 Speaker 1: made weird comments about my feet. Don't know why, Like 634 00:28:39,280 --> 00:28:41,800 Speaker 1: I have my dad's fat feet, but my mom's shoes eyes. 635 00:28:42,000 --> 00:28:44,760 Speaker 1: She finds the weirdest things to comment about. After shopping, 636 00:28:44,800 --> 00:28:47,240 Speaker 1: Grandma wanted to get lunch. I didn't, so I told 637 00:28:47,240 --> 00:28:49,920 Speaker 1: her I had an obligation. She then proceeded to call 638 00:28:49,960 --> 00:28:53,600 Speaker 1: me a disappointment for not thinking of my grandmother, saying 639 00:28:53,760 --> 00:28:56,280 Speaker 1: she hadn't seen me in a while and that she 640 00:28:56,360 --> 00:28:57,800 Speaker 1: deserved to have dinner with her grand kit. 641 00:28:57,840 --> 00:28:59,840 Speaker 2: It seems like you don't like your ranket though, you know, 642 00:29:00,080 --> 00:29:02,160 Speaker 2: But I guess like if you hate everyone, you gotta 643 00:29:02,200 --> 00:29:04,920 Speaker 2: take what you can get, and right now, she's only 644 00:29:04,920 --> 00:29:07,280 Speaker 2: got familial obligation as a way to get people to 645 00:29:07,320 --> 00:29:07,840 Speaker 2: hang out with her. 646 00:29:08,120 --> 00:29:13,320 Speaker 1: Yeah, gosh, dude, I walked home. I didn't want to 647 00:29:13,320 --> 00:29:15,880 Speaker 1: deal with her, and then the shopping plaza was barely 648 00:29:15,920 --> 00:29:18,080 Speaker 1: a mile away. A few weeks later, my dress arrived 649 00:29:18,120 --> 00:29:21,120 Speaker 1: and we needed to go back to get it himned. 650 00:29:21,240 --> 00:29:23,400 Speaker 1: I planned on just going with my mom, but in 651 00:29:23,480 --> 00:29:26,920 Speaker 1: true grandma fashion, she butt in and took me instead. 652 00:29:27,080 --> 00:29:30,240 Speaker 1: I simply bowed my head took things instride. At the time, 653 00:29:30,280 --> 00:29:32,600 Speaker 1: I was experimenting with my hair, I talked with my 654 00:29:32,640 --> 00:29:35,400 Speaker 1: stepmom about how she wanted it. Since I was planning 655 00:29:35,440 --> 00:29:37,959 Speaker 1: on cutting off a lot of length and dying it. 656 00:29:38,000 --> 00:29:40,360 Speaker 1: My Stepmam was like, I don't nothing care, do what 657 00:29:40,400 --> 00:29:43,280 Speaker 1: you want. So I got this boyish cut and died 658 00:29:43,280 --> 00:29:45,760 Speaker 1: it whol red to match my mom. Grandma did not 659 00:29:45,960 --> 00:29:47,920 Speaker 1: like this. Oh no, she did not. 660 00:29:48,040 --> 00:29:48,520 Speaker 2: She didn't. 661 00:29:48,920 --> 00:29:50,760 Speaker 1: She said I looked even more like a man and 662 00:29:50,840 --> 00:29:53,880 Speaker 1: a log. Uh a log, that's what she said. Earlier. 663 00:29:53,920 --> 00:29:55,720 Speaker 1: You looked like I am in a log in that dress. 664 00:29:56,160 --> 00:29:58,360 Speaker 2: Hope you can't catch a break with his grandma. Man. 665 00:29:58,560 --> 00:30:01,160 Speaker 1: She called me a slur and the to know why 666 00:30:01,200 --> 00:30:04,280 Speaker 1: I had done something so drastic without her, without consulting her. 667 00:30:04,320 --> 00:30:05,040 Speaker 1: Now I'm curious that. 668 00:30:05,040 --> 00:30:06,960 Speaker 2: She's being homophoony. It was probably called her a deesler 669 00:30:07,000 --> 00:30:10,560 Speaker 2: because she's saying that she looks like a man. Notice phobia, 670 00:30:10,600 --> 00:30:11,400 Speaker 2: Grandma not cool. 671 00:30:11,480 --> 00:30:14,560 Speaker 1: I thought it was something with the red hair ginger. Yeah, 672 00:30:14,720 --> 00:30:17,880 Speaker 1: isn't that a slur? No, noted, that's not a slur. Guys. 673 00:30:17,960 --> 00:30:20,560 Speaker 1: I took in her comments about my hair and stride 674 00:30:20,600 --> 00:30:23,120 Speaker 1: and ignored her. One of the most positives of being deaf, 675 00:30:23,200 --> 00:30:25,120 Speaker 1: I just can turn off my hair. Notes. Oh, this 676 00:30:25,240 --> 00:30:25,880 Speaker 1: was also deaf. 677 00:30:26,120 --> 00:30:30,200 Speaker 2: Oh, you're just like, she's like running away.

She never? 681 00:30:35,320 --> 00:30:36,280 Speaker 2: I mean, I guess it wasn't. 682 00:30:36,080 --> 00:30:39,480 Speaker 1: Religiant until now. Dang. Finally I didn't have to see 683 00:30:39,480 --> 00:30:42,120 Speaker 1: her again until the wedding. Once everything was finalized, I 684 00:30:42,280 --> 00:30:44,560 Speaker 1: was done dealing with her. The wedding day arrived, Grandma 685 00:30:44,560 --> 00:30:48,080 Speaker 1: complained about the decorations, saying everything was too vintache. She 686 00:30:48,160 --> 00:30:50,960 Speaker 1: complained that the hotel wasn't a church. How dare my 687 00:30:50,960 --> 00:30:53,560 Speaker 1: stepmom not getting married in the church. It was held 688 00:30:53,720 --> 00:30:56,880 Speaker 1: at the Landmark in American, Michigan. If you're wondering, I 689 00:30:56,880 --> 00:31:00,240 Speaker 1: ignored her comments and didn't bother telling my dad or stem. 690 00:31:00,280 --> 00:31:02,840 Speaker 1: I just wanted things to go smoothly. We went to 691 00:31:02,880 --> 00:31:05,160 Speaker 1: get our hair done and while I was in the chair, 692 00:31:05,200 --> 00:31:08,320 Speaker 1: I could hear my grandma complaining about how I destroyed 693 00:31:08,360 --> 00:31:11,080 Speaker 1: my hair. My step mom shut her up and change 694 00:31:11,120 --> 00:31:14,280 Speaker 1: the subject.

Shut up. 698 00:31:18,560 --> 00:31:20,760 Speaker 1: During the wedding, everything was real, definitely quiet with her. 699 00:31:20,920 --> 00:31:25,200 Speaker 1: A few comments here and there, but she was almost nice. 700 00:31:25,960 --> 00:31:29,720 Speaker 2: She's about to start something, man, she's planning something. 701 00:31:30,000 --> 00:31:32,480 Speaker 1: She almost said, you look great, Opie. 702 00:31:32,800 --> 00:31:37,280 Speaker 2: She was like, you look, you look OPI.

So we moved away. 868 00:38:40,080 --> 00:38:41,600 Speaker 1: They're taking theirselves out of the equation. 869 00:38:41,760 --> 00:38:45,200 Speaker 2: Ye take the trash out. So back in twenty twenty two, 870 00:38:45,239 --> 00:38:47,160 Speaker 2: we moved out of state where my family and most 871 00:38:47,160 --> 00:38:49,200 Speaker 2: of my husband's family lived, to another state to be 872 00:38:49,239 --> 00:38:53,759 Speaker 2: closer to his evil dad and the weicked witch of 873 00:38:53,800 --> 00:38:56,000 Speaker 2: the West. By the way, this comes from Kate the 874 00:38:56,040 --> 00:38:58,759 Speaker 2: Great on the ar slash Shoky Storytime Separate it. So 875 00:38:58,960 --> 00:39:01,960 Speaker 2: we packed up everything and our baby girl to relocate 876 00:39:02,040 --> 00:39:05,319 Speaker 2: to be closer to family who we thought cared about us. 877 00:39:05,440 --> 00:39:09,640 Speaker 2: Will you lot hint we cared about you. Father in 878 00:39:09,719 --> 00:39:12,239 Speaker 2: law bought a condo in this state, one hour away 879 00:39:12,280 --> 00:39:14,560 Speaker 2: from his house to play bridge with old folks. He 880 00:39:14,640 --> 00:39:16,719 Speaker 2: said we could live there with the stipulation that we 881 00:39:16,800 --> 00:39:19,320 Speaker 2: had to attend monthly finance classes, which he was in 882 00:39:19,400 --> 00:39:22,760 Speaker 2: charge of. We could disagree or agree with any advice given, 883 00:39:22,960 --> 00:39:25,399 Speaker 2: we just had to attend, and the father in law 884 00:39:25,440 --> 00:39:27,880 Speaker 2: did that okay. At first father in law agreed to 885 00:39:27,920 --> 00:39:30,560 Speaker 2: pay to break our lease and cover all moving costs. 886 00:39:30,640 --> 00:39:32,440 Speaker 2: It slipped his mind the week of the move, but 887 00:39:32,560 --> 00:39:35,000 Speaker 2: my husband let it go because he just wanted everything 888 00:39:35,040 --> 00:39:37,600 Speaker 2: to start with a clean slate. I, however, kept a 889 00:39:37,600 --> 00:39:39,680 Speaker 2: mental note of it. The day of our move, after 890 00:39:39,760 --> 00:39:42,760 Speaker 2: packing the huge moving truck, our car, and our baby, 891 00:39:42,840 --> 00:39:45,359 Speaker 2: we started on our way for a several hour car 892 00:39:45,480 --> 00:39:48,120 Speaker 2: ride to the condo. We were ten minutes away from 893 00:39:48,160 --> 00:39:52,520 Speaker 2: our new home when we hydroplaned o. The accident was minor. 894 00:39:52,760 --> 00:39:54,880 Speaker 2: We just jumped a curb. No one was hurt and 895 00:39:54,960 --> 00:39:57,759 Speaker 2: the accident didn't involve any other cars. Note we are 896 00:39:57,880 --> 00:40:00,440 Speaker 2: one car family, so my s SO doesn't drive for 897 00:40:00,480 --> 00:40:03,799 Speaker 2: personal reasons. This has never bothered me and never will 898 00:40:03,920 --> 00:40:06,720 Speaker 2: because I get extremely carsick if I'm not buying the wheel. 899 00:40:06,760 --> 00:40:10,440 Speaker 2: We finally get home unpacked, call insurance, et cetera. We 900 00:40:10,480 --> 00:40:12,319 Speaker 2: had to drive a rental for one month as my 901 00:40:12,360 --> 00:40:15,000 Speaker 2: car is getting fixed. At the first financial meeting, my 902 00:40:15,040 --> 00:40:17,400 Speaker 2: father in law lays into me about how if I 903 00:40:17,440 --> 00:40:20,800 Speaker 2: hadn't used Google Maps and followed his directions and shed 904 00:40:20,880 --> 00:40:22,840 Speaker 2: that the action would have ever happened. 905 00:40:23,040 --> 00:40:24,840 Speaker 1: I will agree with that Google Maps is kind of 906 00:40:24,840 --> 00:40:26,440 Speaker 1: whack sometimes, but how would that? 907 00:40:26,600 --> 00:40:29,320 Speaker 2: How does that even make sense? The hydroplane, they didn't 908 00:40:29,480 --> 00:40:30,520 Speaker 2: take a wrong turn. 909 00:40:30,760 --> 00:40:33,680 Speaker 1: Guess who knows about puddles in the road? Apple? Apple 910 00:40:33,800 --> 00:40:36,200 Speaker 1: Maps ways it detects puddles on the road. 911 00:40:36,239 --> 00:40:37,640 Speaker 2: I'm trying to remember if Apples ever does. 912 00:40:38,800 --> 00:40:41,960 Speaker 1: I was like, what, ye okay, because they have apple 913 00:40:42,000 --> 00:40:44,439 Speaker 1: and apples come from water, so thus they know where 914 00:40:44,440 --> 00:40:45,920 Speaker 1: all the water is in the roads. 915 00:40:45,920 --> 00:40:48,279 Speaker 2: Interesting, dang, I could have gotten away with it, Yeah, 916 00:40:48,280 --> 00:40:52,839 Speaker 2: I was like, whattect bottles? He said? There are only 917 00:40:52,880 --> 00:40:55,360 Speaker 2: two people I will never ride with in a car again, 918 00:40:55,560 --> 00:40:58,319 Speaker 2: my eighty three year old mom and you meaning me. 919 00:40:58,520 --> 00:41:00,480 Speaker 2: I'm a twenty six year old female who drives a 920 00:41:00,480 --> 00:41:02,799 Speaker 2: manual and I've been driving since I could get behind 921 00:41:02,800 --> 00:41:03,480 Speaker 2: the wheel of a car. 922 00:41:03,600 --> 00:41:05,000 Speaker 1: Dude, sounds like baby driver to me. 923 00:41:05,280 --> 00:41:08,480 Speaker 2: Yeah, Oh he's you doubt my driving. My husband and 924 00:41:08,520 --> 00:41:11,160 Speaker 2: I were shocked. Bada Lah continued to say, oh, I 925 00:41:11,200 --> 00:41:13,360 Speaker 2: needed to stop being a stay at o mom. I 926 00:41:13,400 --> 00:41:15,839 Speaker 2: could stop being lazy and actually help my husband earn 927 00:41:15,920 --> 00:41:18,400 Speaker 2: money for our household. He also said, there's no reason 928 00:41:18,480 --> 00:41:21,200 Speaker 2: for Zzodor not to drive. He needs his license. This 929 00:41:21,280 --> 00:41:23,680 Speaker 2: pile of crab a person did not hold back, just 930 00:41:23,719 --> 00:41:25,640 Speaker 2: been on and on about how it's my fault. We 931 00:41:25,719 --> 00:41:27,680 Speaker 2: had to pay a thousand plus dollars on a car 932 00:41:27,719 --> 00:41:30,719 Speaker 2: rental car repairs, uber fees, et cetera for the last 933 00:41:30,719 --> 00:41:33,680 Speaker 2: month because of the accident. The insurance company and my 934 00:41:33,800 --> 00:41:36,800 Speaker 2: husband both said that I did everything to prevent what happened. 935 00:41:36,840 --> 00:41:39,279 Speaker 2: I was even going way below the speed limit while 936 00:41:39,280 --> 00:41:41,520 Speaker 2: it was raining. It was, without a doubt, one hundred 937 00:41:41,560 --> 00:41:44,480 Speaker 2: percent out of my control. Any who, the meeting ends 938 00:41:44,480 --> 00:41:46,759 Speaker 2: with not much else said, and they leave. One of 939 00:41:46,800 --> 00:41:48,920 Speaker 2: the other rules to us living in their new space 940 00:41:49,080 --> 00:41:51,120 Speaker 2: is that we can't bring out one and a half 941 00:41:51,239 --> 00:41:54,240 Speaker 2: year old into the complex pool well because that wasn't 942 00:41:54,320 --> 00:41:57,400 Speaker 2: ridden in our lease and it's not in the building 943 00:41:57,480 --> 00:42:00,640 Speaker 2: some lease. I decided, after this one sided sc reming match, 944 00:42:00,760 --> 00:42:02,680 Speaker 2: to do it anyway. Keep in mind, we did have 945 00:42:02,680 --> 00:42:05,319 Speaker 2: a twelve month written lease with father in law and 946 00:42:05,360 --> 00:42:07,400 Speaker 2: the building his condo is in. So I take her 947 00:42:07,480 --> 00:42:10,080 Speaker 2: daughter swimming as a quiet f you because he's not 948 00:42:10,120 --> 00:42:12,799 Speaker 2: gonna know. It's fine. One day, I'm uploading photos on 949 00:42:12,840 --> 00:42:16,880 Speaker 2: our family shared album and accidentally add a photo of 950 00:42:16,960 --> 00:42:20,799 Speaker 2: us at the pool. Oh did you told on yourself? 951 00:42:21,120 --> 00:42:22,319 Speaker 1: Oh? 952 00:42:22,360 --> 00:42:26,359 Speaker 2: My father in law instantly calls myso and curses him out, saying, oh, 953 00:42:26,360 --> 00:42:29,200 Speaker 2: I'm disrespectful and ungrateful that I did this on purpose, 954 00:42:29,360 --> 00:42:31,880 Speaker 2: and that I'm now, after just one kicked out of 955 00:42:31,920 --> 00:42:35,759 Speaker 2: all the financial meetings because I can't be trusted. Thank goodness. 956 00:42:36,040 --> 00:42:38,239 Speaker 2: I didn't want to get crap on or listen to 957 00:42:38,280 --> 00:42:40,720 Speaker 2: his crap anyway. So life goes on with a slap 958 00:42:40,760 --> 00:42:44,160 Speaker 2: of the wrist and no more pool. That is according 959 00:42:44,200 --> 00:42:46,440 Speaker 2: to my father in law. I keep going anyways, nice, 960 00:42:46,480 --> 00:42:48,759 Speaker 2: just don't send him more pictures of shit. I have 961 00:42:48,840 --> 00:42:51,880 Speaker 2: since befriended most of the neighbors we have, all elderly, 962 00:42:52,000 --> 00:42:55,080 Speaker 2: all nice. Everyone simply adores our baby and everything is 963 00:42:55,120 --> 00:42:57,920 Speaker 2: going good. One day, I'm in the lobby library reading 964 00:42:58,080 --> 00:43:00,719 Speaker 2: talking to the president of h AWAY and that there's 965 00:43:00,719 --> 00:43:03,960 Speaker 2: been light miscommunication about the pool and baby. She laughs, 966 00:43:04,000 --> 00:43:07,000 Speaker 2: probably because she's gone swimming up with us multiple times 967 00:43:07,080 --> 00:43:10,560 Speaker 2: and asks what's going on. Well, the flood gates open. 968 00:43:10,719 --> 00:43:14,080 Speaker 2: I tell her everything, leaving no stone unturned. I had 969 00:43:14,160 --> 00:43:18,040 Speaker 2: extreme postpartum depression, so I was extremely emotional at the time, 970 00:43:18,320 --> 00:43:20,960 Speaker 2: in a news state, with no friends and no knowledge 971 00:43:20,960 --> 00:43:23,479 Speaker 2: about the area we were in. She was shocked. She said, 972 00:43:23,480 --> 00:43:25,640 Speaker 2: at the next HOA meetings she would cast a vote 973 00:43:25,640 --> 00:43:28,600 Speaker 2: for the only rule written in nineteen seventy nine. No joke. 974 00:43:28,640 --> 00:43:32,200 Speaker 2: They have an edited leases in that long regarding small children. 975 00:43:32,400 --> 00:43:35,319 Speaker 2: It literally says no children in regular diapers can enter 976 00:43:35,360 --> 00:43:37,520 Speaker 2: the pool. She said. My grandchildren come over all the 977 00:43:37,560 --> 00:43:40,520 Speaker 2: time with swim diapers. Oh well, this rule was written 978 00:43:40,560 --> 00:43:44,200 Speaker 2: before swim diapers were widely circulated. Of course, you're all welcome. 979 00:43:44,360 --> 00:43:45,839 Speaker 2: This was like a breath of fresh air. 980 00:43:46,120 --> 00:43:48,719 Speaker 1: Okay, we're starting to see a little lot a tone. 981 00:43:48,960 --> 00:43:51,399 Speaker 2: So fast forward another month. My s O and father 982 00:43:51,440 --> 00:43:53,719 Speaker 2: in law are having their first solo meeting. Apparently the 983 00:43:53,880 --> 00:43:56,120 Speaker 2: HOA president caught father in law on his way up 984 00:43:56,160 --> 00:43:58,600 Speaker 2: the elevator and cleared the air about the pool situation. 985 00:43:58,719 --> 00:44:01,040 Speaker 2: When he arrived at our door, he grabbed us out, 986 00:44:01,120 --> 00:44:03,759 Speaker 2: took him on the back deck, then laid into him 987 00:44:03,760 --> 00:44:05,880 Speaker 2: like there was no tomorrow, stating that he thought he 988 00:44:05,920 --> 00:44:08,399 Speaker 2: made himself perfectly clear. There was to be no more 989 00:44:08,440 --> 00:44:11,520 Speaker 2: swimming at all by anyone. Now, by anyone. Now, you 990 00:44:11,600 --> 00:44:14,799 Speaker 2: can't tell them to not swim at the You don't 991 00:44:14,800 --> 00:44:17,279 Speaker 2: own the pool. You literally don't own the pool.
