Why does my grandfather fuss at me when I come home late from work?

[Anonymous]

I’m 28 and when I would come home late he would have a mean look and tell me I don’t need to be out that late and why I’m out so late. But I would get irritated and avoid him or lie…. Even when going on walks alone

he's 90 by the way

How late do you come home? Maybe he’s hungry for dinner or maybe he wants to spend time with you? Or maybe he’s worried about you finding the wrong man late night guys

We live with my aunt in her big house… well he did before he passed a few months ago. I miss him so much it hurts

I was never out with any men. Only went on one coffee date in 3 years

I’m very sorry to hear that. I hope you had a good life with him.

[Asker]

I did. I regret being annoyed with him whenever he asked or fussed

[Iron_Man]

Yes….

Why do you care what he says. Next time say "It's ok, I'm an adult and can manage my own time." That's all.

Grannies can be overly protective.
