I can't help but hate my grandmother- am I wrong?
My grandmother has always managed to make me feel terrible about myself. I wasn't born with perfectly straight teeth, so she would always bring up how crooked they were. She brings up how I'm not as skinny as the Asian actresses, or how my complexion is nothing compared to theirs. She's the reason I feel so self-conscious about myself, and I hate that. When I tell her how that makes me feel, she tries to justify what she says by using some stupid reasoning like : "I'm just saying that so you'll do good in school and get a good job so you can pay for your braces." She never listens to me either. When I try to speak wither her about something, or explain something to her, she refuses to listen, as if whatever I'm telling her is unimportant. She's also controlling- She tries to control EVERY aspect of my life and causing me to want to just give up out of spite.
How do I explain to my grandmother that she is very negative and unintelligent?
I'm fourteen and I live with my mother and grandmother. Everyone in my family absolutely hates my grandmother, including us. I've tried to ask her to be less negative toward us, and I always try to be nice. The problem is, she's too stupid to understand! Its not just the fact she's 69, she's been that way all her life. She always says that she will try to change, but nothing ever happens! She just always has been the most negative person ever and blames everything going bad in her life on me. Wether its our animals, or the fact she has to help my mother out, she just can't take responsibility for herself. I just don't know what to do! We can't move out, but me and my mother really want to! Help!
Can someone explain what being jewish really means?
I have a grandma who says she is fully jewish but has never practised any laws of the relegion and neither did her parents even though they were both jewish. My grandma was married to a non jew and produced my mother, i therefore am one quarter jewish, what does that mean. If it is a race thing then tecnically i am but my life has no relevance to judasim at all. I have no kosher foods, am an athiest and love bacon. People say Jewish people have paricular traits such as having a big nose, so therefore it must be genetic or is it just purley down to rlegious beliefs. I am very confused please help me
What are all of the negative side effects of letting a baby put their lips on a bottle of beer?
Sometimes at family reunions my uncle who drinks a lot holds his open beer bottle dangerously close to my one-year old cousin (who is the son of a different uncle). This has constantly bothered me, but the baby never was attracted to the bottle, which relieved me enough to not mind. I assumed my uncle was intelligent enough to not allow the baby to put his lips on it. Today, however, I witnessed my uncle letting my now-more-curious cousin place his lips on the opened bottle repeatedly after said uncle had drinken some of the beer, therefore placing some of the beer on the bottle's tip. I've told the other family members at the reunion, including the father of my cousin himself, but none of them are taking this seriously because only "some" beer is getting into his one-year old system. If the baby consumes the bit of beer on the bottle's tip, what negative side effects may occur? I dearly worry about my little cousin's health, and I feel as though my family is being irresponsible.
