I’m not that type. I’ma def boomerang back any of the jabs you throw at me. My gramps is usually my boy but he was talkin mad shit today. So i told his ass off and he done ran home. I mean I love the dude but you ain't gone talk to me any kinda way. And ion even take zodiac shit serious like that but Aquarius men and Aquarius women do not get along for long. Sometimes you just gotta pop off 🤷♀️ I think prior to my first job, I would have been more respectful and just asked him to stop. But no those rudeass customers didn’t understand “calm tf down” unless you spoke it in their rudeass language. I don’t got time to kill you with kindness. Lol sorry I’m real live mad rn. Like I’m heated because he was on some hypocritical shit. I just had to vent
Old people either become so wise or so ignorant and lost in their dumb ass ways. I dont think being elder is any excuse either. If they get some kind of mental disease or actual damage then its tricky and needs patience. But just their normal wise-ass selves? Set them straight if you can and whenever you can.

I got into an argument with my grandma once. She was 95 at the time. She was quite taken aback! I don't think anyone had ever talked back to her before. Lol

It's inevitable, mental capability will diminish. They're family so yes, they get some slack. Try to remember the better times.
When he's an ass, remove yourself from the situation. I encourage you to approach each interaction as if he didn't fvck up last time. After he's passed, it would be nice to have the older, positive memories.When I was little maybe. But now? Fuck that.
My dad's parents didn't like my brothers and I for some reason. It mainly was because my dad had 2 kids before his older sister had 1, and she was uber jealous. So she told my dad nit to send pictures if his kids to his parents because it makes me sadNah girl I agree. I love my grandparents, and I will always respect them unless they disrespect me. I've built my life and while I may make mistakes I'm learning, I don't need them to tell me I did something wrong if I already know that what I did was wrong. I will accept help but I won't stand for disrespect.
I never had the opportunity to be close with my grandparents so haven't been in a fight with them.
And when my parents used to do that, I got angry sometimes but never shouted or get mad at them cause they have done a lot for me so I can let a few things slide.
Although they never said anything major disrespectful to me.I’m respectful af but I’ll definitely won’t let it slide and let them know where they’re wrong. That’s the thing with my parents, we are open with each other and we don’t hold back. Communication is key to keep the peace!
I just keep my mouth shut. The more we speak, the badder we get.
It is not good in the long term. So I just stay quiet.
I believe, sometimes, it is better to just listen from one ear and let it go from the other. Many times, actually.I want to say no I'd not let it slide.. But to be honest, my grandfather was such a colossal influence in my life that I'm not sure I'd say anything. Cause I'd five literally anything to see him again. I lost him in 04..
Nahhhh ef that.
I’ve lost family members because of bs like that. I let nothing slide just because they are elders.I, either get back right away, or stay silent. It's worse when I stay silent, and that's when they know it's not good. But I try to be as respectful as I can in that situation.
my family black listed me from every single gathering because I don’t let them disrespect me anymore 😂
Reproof brings knowledge, insights and understand , but disrespecting someone is something not worth tolerating regardless of one's status.
Nope. Even as a kid, Id make it known if something my parents did hurt me or made me feel disrespected. Fortunately they were mature enough to apologise when they messed up and fix it.
Partially, but I’m also in a stage where I am a young adult now, and I am able to eloquently advocate for myself and Xpress. What they’re saying may bother me
Family disrespect me and I tell the to leave and talk to me when they wanna start being respectful. If it’s not family I may cut them out depending on our relationship and the level of disrespect.
The more my biological mother continues to try to get my number the more she’s disrespecting me and my anger is building up. I tell her happy birthday thanks to my aunt and now my mother is provoking me to snap like I’m Thanos
Yeah I just let it roll of the shoulder. I don't take it personal they are old and might have more problems going on health wise mostly and how crazy the world is now is freaking them out.
My grandmomma could do just about anything to me, and i would be like yes ma'am.
It has happened once and I just swallowed my anger.
I used to let it slide but no more. If they ever did, I'm popping them in the jaw like everyone else
I can be assertive without being rude. I can say my piece that will leave them thinking.
