By a woman who has not held a job in her life, either full or part time, and has pretty much been living off welfare most of her adult life.
My granddaughter was telling me that her other grandma had said that I was lazy. She said I needed to get off my butt once in a while and do things around the house.
Yes, my house is messy, but it's not filthy to the point of being a health hazard.
I work over 40 hours a week and have numerous physical issues that leave me in almost 24/7 pain. I was diagnosed with diabetes this year. I suffer from bouts of depression and have IBS.
My job is stressful, and, by nature, is a very negative job, as I am constantly dealing with problems.
By the time I am finished my workday and work week, I am exhausted and burnt right out.
I am usually left looking after my 2 very busy grandchildren most weekends too, so I do spend a lot of time just sitting on my butt because I am pretty much too tired to do much of anything else.
I know a lot of her opinion of me came from when my daughter and I were having some issues a while back, and she probably vented to her that she was carrying the brunt of looking after the house.
She was.
But it should also be noted that she, herself, was on maternity leave and not working either, but was still managing to have a pretty active social life while leaving me to look after the children, as if it was my job.
I finally ended up booting my daughter and her children to the curb, and that was a wakeup call for her, I think.
She's back home now, and is working again, so we are trying to share the workload of keeping the house clean.
It's a difficult job with the 2 little ones running around making messes constantly.
I was really angry when this woman had the nerve to say that about me.
She isn't even much of a grandmother.
I may not keep a showplace home, and may sit on my butt a lot, but I do take time to give my grandchildren attention and lots of hugs and cuddles.
It's more than I can say for her.
