So my 80 year old grandmother had outpatient surgery 2 weeks ago & has been staying with us those two weeks while she "recovers". I love her with all my heart but she is a grumpy worry wart. Her neck is healed, she is, & has been this entire time, totally self sufficient. She is in good health & does everything for herself & has the entire time she's been here. Gets up & down the stairs just fine herself, prepares her own food, takes meds herself, has barely used her cane (yet has one in every damn room of the house!), but my point is that she is 100% self sufficient. I don't do anything for he except turn on the tv & reach the occasional thing on a tall shelf. I don't understand why she's still here! She's got a nice apartment in a senior complex in The Woodlands! She sleeps during the day & stays awake-ish at night. The guest room she's in is right next to DD's room & up the hall from us. She's got some damn parakeets that have kept us up until 2:30 am & woken us up at 6am for the past WEEK because she leaves the light on ALL night & falls asleep with it on so the freakin things never sleep! Plus she has brought so much crap from home... half of the kitchen counters are covered with her food & medicine, the entire coffee table is covered in books & crap of hers, her guest room light is ALWAYS on, & she's got so much crap in her room that you can't open the door all the way!!! Plus she is the most negative person I've ever met. I don't know how much more I can take but DH & I are about to either go Ozzy Osbourne on the birds, let the cats at them, or set them free because after a week of crap sleep, I'm at my wits end. Advice on how to handle the situation is welcomed because I can't keep nice for much longer...
@Heathur: as much as you want to..you cant go off on an 80 year old woman. have your husband come home saying he has free tickets for a weekend vacation that is for his job and yall have to go .
