I used to adore them. In fact my grandma raised me and we were inseparable. My mom was my only friend.
Now I'm 28 and we have all changed. I feel my mom secretly resents me for not giving her grandchildren. She keeps idolizing and defending my cousin who is a stay at home mom to the point of even supporting them for 2 months for vacation and she insisted on taking care of her kids. My grandma never did anything to get ahead in life. One must hold her hand to do anything, like pushing the elevator button. She can't drive, she stopped working at 35, she literally cannot do anything (not even swim in the beach because she gets scared) and rely on her daughters to support her.
My mom and grandma are completely obsessed with social media. And I mean sickly obsessed. They base everything of their lives around it. We travel a lot and every day of any vacation they look for wifi spots at restaurants to post their pictures. They only have like 50 followers and they post like 5 pictures a day and my mom gets a kick anytime her videos reach 50 views or a stranger that's obviously a fake/troll starts talking to her. She's almost 50 ffs. I absolutely hateeeee social media and this makes me dislike them even more.
And I feel horrible for feeling this way but I feel we have nothing in common anymore. I'm Hispanic so family is a huge thing and I feel guilty for feeling this way.

Heck this is very toxic. And very immature from your family. They act like teenagers. And i understand if you dont feel the same way towards them, i would be too. I am not going to say hate them or cut them off. But goddamn you deserve to be around a better bunch
Thanks for your opinion. Yeah maybe I just need some distance
And for giving her a grandchild this is no one business but yours PLEASE dont have children just to please Anyone. My mother does the same to my sister pressuing her for having a grandchild. Why are they yearning for a grandchild when they r already mistreating the child (you)
whatever works for you
