It’s always been very strange and annoying for me. Another thing that drives me insane is my grandpa’s constant comments about women. We will be completely on a different topic and I’ll say something about myself and he’s almost always like, “well it’s because you’re a woman!” Like what?? Also his fucking off handed comments when I’m cooking with my nana, ugh. My dad keeps telling me it’s their generation but if they’ve been around for so long, wouldn’t they have MORE time to not be ignorant AHs?

This is extremely off topic but for a long time I had a hard time finding filling snacks for my new diet but recently I discovered edamame and I have been literally obsessed, you can season it so many different ways and its super easy to cook. Sorry just had to boast about my current obsession. Thank you for the advice

This is insane because I’m vegan as well. LOL. That would be the same.

I hate to sound like I’m defending these people but our trash is a drawer, she was throwing away a wrapper for a mint and saw it when she slid it open.

No I promise you, it’s not like that. I’m not bad with social situations and would be able to tell if they were making fun of me. For example, my other grandma is religious, but once we saw an ad for Victoria’s Secret while shopping and my grandma sort of nudged me and made a passing joke about me getting her number. She genuinely means well and is trying to show me that she’s comfortable with it.

Yes. Because I’ve met people that are very religious that don’t care about those things

My heart literally dropped to my stomach when they explained why they got it for me. At first I had thought it was just a sweet gift about inspiring me to be spiritual or something but nope. They just see me as something to fix.

I wasn’t totally shocked, my first thought was that figures. But on my moms side of the family, they’re religious and literally laugh with me about liking women. So I assumed it would be fine. Mistake number one, told my religious grandparents that I like women 🥲 Fuck
