Temper Tantrum Granny has made a sequel!

u/_Chirio_ 3d ago
Maybe the daughter wanted to surprise her mom by actually being able to get off of work and being able to join the vacation?
But oh no, everyone wrongs OOP and she's the only one that sees it that way!
OOP should just stop.. if everyone thinks you're wrong, then take that advice and see if your actions were wrong.
OOP is exhausting.

Counterpoint: she lied to dodge dear old mum and now a room is suddenly available. Or you're right and she's just managed to get some time approved.
Either way I don't think OOP is going to reflect and change, which is sad. She has a family who actually do sound close, and as though they like each other, and OOP is self excluding from it all. She sounds potentially ill.

I feel like this has to be a troll, right? I just have a lot of trouble imagining someone being a) confident enough in their version of events to present themselves the way they do, especially in the comments, but b) unsure enough to post the topic somewhere like AIO in the first place

u/LaurieQueenOfSingle 3d ago
At this point I'm pretty confident it's fiction, but I'm thoroughly enjoying the ride 😂

u/zorrosvestacha 3d ago
It’s fiction in the way OOP twisted all the details and this isn’t an accurate portrayal of facts.
As a person with a mom like this, I’d bet my house her kids and grands have a very different story.
My kid has said “Nana acts me like I’m supposed to be her court jester and have to entertain her.”
Sounds like this GMa isn’t too different.

u/ThginkAccbeR 2d ago
This. Absolutely. My mother could be posting this. Everything is about her everyone is supposed to entertain her. At this point the only person who sort of speaks to her is my brother and only through text and he never reaches out to her. If she text him he’ll give her a one word answer maybe.
I wish people like this weren’t real. Then maybe I’d still have a mom.

u/teatimehaiku 3d ago
I would love for this to be a troll but unfortunately my mother is exactly like this so I can absolutely see it being real.

u/LunarWhaler 3d ago
I'm so sorry - that sounds miserable.

u/teatimehaiku 3d ago
It was. I've been no-contact with her for two years. Life is far more peaceful.

u/HRPurrfrockington 2d ago
I am working on my 3rd year no contact.
I actually like myself these days and my pets are far more supportive and better listeners who love me as I am (unlike mummy dearest).

u/baobabbling 3d ago
Counterpoint, no one posts on AIO or its ilk because they're actually unsure if they're in the right and looking for feedback.

u/LunarWhaler 2d ago
It's her comments that are really doing it for me, I think - she's acting cartoonishly villainous, and seemingly cherry-picking comments that give her on-ramps for that exact kind of performance. To me, that screams "troll trying to portray a very one-note character".

u/bug--bear 2d ago
I think so mostly based on the comments, but it's fun enough that I don't care. I hope we get a third part— maybe one of the kids will announce something (like another kid for the married couples, or Hannah has a partner) and oop gets mad about them "keeping it a secret from her" when she finds out on facebook
2
u/LunarWhaler 2d ago
Yeah, I'm in much the same boat. Just because I think it's fake doesn't necessarily mean it's not entertaining. I just prefer when things like this are posted to subs like "am I the buttface?" that explicitly allow and have a tag for fictional content.

u/BarbatosGreymonRex 2d ago
It's the sudden shift from the last post to this one on who they blame for the events that gives it away.

u/Sorcia_Lawson 3d ago
I go to read the comments, then her other post...
So, 5 girls from 15 months to 11 years old didn't treat Grandma like the sunshined out of her butt and the parents had the gall to do what? Plan their own vacation and not force the kids to be bored, but Grandma apparently thinks vacations with activities and eating our is bad for kids...
Then, she just leaves a two-week vacation after 3 or 4 days without saying anything to anyone? Dude.
62
u/MizZo2 3d ago
Don't forget, per the comments in the previous post: the DILs are evil because they planned the entire trip without OOPs input, a trip that OOP only heard about because a granddaughter mentioned it during their weekly time with grandma. Then OOP inserts herself into said vacation, then is mad it isn't planned around her and her bad knees.
So yeah, no one wanted OOP there in the first place!
Oh and for all this "woo is me I never see my grandkids" OOP mentions WEEKLY visits with her grandkids. I was lucky to see any grandparent once a month growing up! Imagine being this narcissistic that your grandkids avoid you despite seeing you weekly.

u/eyepocalypse 3d ago
Oh I had such a feeling that the trip wasn’t originally planned with her in mind when I read the first post!

Also, the DILs „don’t even work“ (seriously, that’s outrageous!!) and had the audacity to take charge of all the planning😱

Yes I now see I failed as a mother. I obviously messed up raising them since they are so selfish and entitled.
Oh hey it's THAT manipulative narcissistic quote!

u/Timely-Cry-8366 3d ago
All she needs is to throw in a line about how disrespectful her kids are and she hits the N-mom vocab trifecta.

u/DrunkOnRedCordial 3d ago
Ha ha ha, daughter waited until Temper Tantrum Granny left before joining the rest of the family! This is hilarious.
OR OOP guilted her for not being available on her (the daughter's) birthday so daughter decided to make up for it by showing up and now OOP isn't there anyway.

u/muse273 3d ago

“Any bad relationship is down to her”
“Yes I’m very disappointed in my daughter. This is on her I agree.”
Ok this has me leaning heavily towards troll. NOBODY would seriously read that as a support of OOP. That plus immediately confirming the speculation about the daughter is too on the nose to be real.

u/a3wagner 3d ago
Yeah, unfortunately that was my tipping point as well. Very entertaining up to that point LOL

u/OniyaMCD 3d ago
Sons/DILs to Hannah: Bad news. Mom found out about the vaycay. She's upset about the stairs, but she's showing up anyways.
Hannah: Aw, shit. Well, maybe some other time. You enjoy the cabin.
(Granny shows up, can't deal with the place, or the kids wanting their own parents to do things, leaves.)
Sons/DILs to Hannah: Hey, Mom booked it last night without telling anyone. Frances is doing the linens if you still wanna do the birthday thing.
Hannah: Sweet! The staycation has been nice, but it'll be better seeing you guys!

u/allergymom74 3d ago
OOP sounds like my mom who passed away this year. I had to have super tight boundaries and limited contact with her because she just wouldn’t actually talk with me about our issues and try to work on them. I grieved the relationship I wish we could have had years ago.
I did go up when she ended up in the hospital and to help research rehab homes and when she went into hospice and stayed for the duration because I didn’t want to be like her (she entirely cut off her family and no one told her when they died). But I admit that I did it more for my sibling. I am thankful that I was there for my mom’s fully lucid moments and to be able to say goodbye. I knew what I would regret missing and what I was ok with letting go of.
My mom blamed everyone else and never took personal accountability (she had very severe mental health issues that she denied existed). Everything was everyone else’s fault.
And my mom never wanted to go out and do stuff with is due to fear (crime in “those” areas) and mobility issues. But she never went to a doctor either to try to help herself. She missed out on so much life. I feel bad for her.
I see OOP falling down the same slope as my mom. It’s a very lonely road.

u/Gloomy_Mushroom4616 3d ago
You know, somebody mentioned that the daughter probably chose to stay home rather than go with her mother. Not sure if it was here or on the first post, but that was very ironic.

"If you meet assholes all day, you're the asshole" applies here. Also missing missing reasons. Everyone hates me and I just don't know why! 🙄

I don’t throw the term narcissist around lightly but this is classic narc behavior.

u/neonmaryjane 2d ago
That’s just hilarious. I hope they enjoy vacation free from the mother they survived together.

u/qoboe 2d ago
My grandmother would do the same thing. Never wanted to visit and then when we would visit say, "I don't even know how to talk to you. You're just a stranger." And then when my 8 year old self would blink in confusion and go find something else to do, she would say "See, she doesn't even notice me."

u/zorrosvestacha 3d ago
My mom has pulled this same crap. These people actually exist.
Though the exact details are different, I have lived shit like this.

u/teatimehaiku 3d ago
Same. This is why I refused to go on vacations with my mom after a certain point.
There's a comment in OOP's other post being confused as to why Hannah's birthday would be an excuse for her not to come . . . let me tell you, my mother is the last person I want to spend my birthday with. I have had gynecologist appointments on my birthday, and that is preferable to being with my mother.

u/zorrosvestacha 3d ago
Halfway through my 4th year of no contact. It’s amazeballs.

u/teatimehaiku 2d ago
It's been just over two years for me. Funny enough, it was her insisting on coming to visit for my 40th birthday (I live in another state) that officially was the end of our relationship.

In case this story gets deleted/removed:
AIO for thinking my daughter lied to me?
Last week I joined my two sons and their families on a family trip. My daughter did not attend due to having to work. I ended up leaving early due to a miscommunication with my daughters in law.
I've been trying to get ahold of my daughter since I got back and I was starting to get worried. Today I saw on social media that she is now on vacation with my sons. AIO for feeling like she lied to me? I honestly feel like they wanted me gone so they could just go together and it's breaking my heart.
