Family matters
Tuesday, April 17, 2007

Most of my family closest to my uncle don't get along with him, because we know what he's really about. He has the rest of my family fooled. But onto the current matter, my grandmother had open heart surgery almost two months ago. before she had the surgery she would do his laundry, and now he has her doing it again. We've all said something to my grandmother but she isn't listening.

This is the first time that we know of that she's done it since her surgery, and if he has her do it again I gonna have to say something to him, but I don't know what to say.

I don't mean to bother anyone but if you have any suggestions please let me know, I need a little help and since we're all friends here I thought you guys could help me.

Thanks for all your help, here's what happened.

I basically told him he's a lazy ass bitch who couldn't hold a job if his life depended on it, and of course he got pissed and a big fight ensued (Not a fist-fight, he got lucky there.). Grandma got pissed at me for saying something, so neither one is talking to me. Planning to have a sit-down with the whole family, I'll keep everyone posted on how it goes.

Oi...this is a lovely conundrum. If I was faced with this scenario personally, I would try and talk with Uncle and Grandmother separately about the matter.

With the former, I would make a polite threat that making his mother (I presume) do his laundry after she had heart surgery is both cruel and dangerous. If you have to, appeal to his self-preservation or laziness by pointing out having her drop dead from the strain will mean having to do the laundry himself or take the effort to find a laundromat with staff-cleaning services anyway.

In the latter, do your best to point out that while she's doing something nice, it could kill her or hospitalize her due to the strain on the repaired heart. That and the uncle need to learn how to handle his own affairs like laundry:(

I'd suggest being really open and telling him that you are concerned for your grandmother's health and want him to do more to take care of her. Tell him that having her do his laundry could shorten her life. Also, check the local laundry places. Most have a service where for a small fee they will do the laundry for you. Make a list with addresses and prices and suggest he try one of those. If he still doesn't quit, talk to your grandmother's doctor. See if he will talk to her about doing less. Ultimately though, you can't really stop her or him. Just try your hardest to fix it and then let it go. HUGS and I'm sorry :)
