I'm Fed Up With My Grandparents.

[AnimeLover1991]

My grandparents (specifically my grandfather) love to piss me off. Today he has really done it. I have been offered by my best friend to move in with him up in Michigan because he's getting an apartment to himself, and wants me there. Basically I get to go home and everything will be back to normal, but my grandfather does not want me to go as he thinks it will be a stupid decision. He treats me like a 5 year old if I want to go (which I do) I'll go, and he doesn't like it then tough luck because it's my decision not his.

Some grandparents are from the "older era" where a motto once said "Family should stick together" and maybe he's just trying to look after you. Even though you're right you're old enough to make your own decisions and do as you please, but he's looking at your best interest. Even though it may not seem that way he really is trying to be there for you and he doesn't want anything to happen. Especially since Michigan is quite a long distance. He just wants to be closer with you as family should be, but doesn't always work out that way. I don't think this is deliberate. If I were you and if you're really set on moving out I would say, "Grandpa I love you very much, but I'm growing up and I think it's time for me to make decisions for myself, even though you think this is better for me to stay here I'm going to move." I think he'll respect that face that you acknowledged that you know he cares, but you're moving on. Don't be mad at him he's only looking out for you and cares. I hope this helps.

^^I know you mention "best interests", but this really isn't the case. If AnimeLover1991 never leaves home, it would probably be in his worst interest.

OP, I know that your grandparents want to keep you, but if you want to move out, you're just going to have to be straight with him, and leave. There's nothing he can do about it.

Not saying he has to necessarily leave home, but more or so stay around the area or the state to be frank. Though when you reach the point in your life where you definitely need your independence I agree whole heartily.

maybe hes just scared to let you out into the world. or maybe hes stuck in the past, like goose said. your 19, so you can pretty much do what you want now. explain to him that you can take care of yourself and that it will be good for you. your 19, you can pretty much do what you want. good luck

I'm going whether or not he wants me to, and if he doesn't like it then I know he just cares about himself.

Ugh another day and another fight. My Grandma is a total witch she got upset because I was badmouthing my mother. My mother has never done a thing for me, and I have no relationship with her she also picks favorites with me & my siblings, and right now her favorite is my sister in fact she has always been her favorite because she can do no wrong. That's why I badmouth my mother because she's never done a thing for me, and my grandmother gets mad about it. Well maybe if my mother did more for me I wouldn't badmouth her.
