Hi, this is my first time here and Im actually latin so my English might be not very good.
I will start saying Im 22yo, my grandma almost 72yo and my cousin 8yo, it’s relevant somehow, I think.
My house is not real big but we managed to buy a pool to refresh during summer, it was actually pretty convenient for us honestly…And kids enjoy it actually, so we’re happy about too. The thing is My cousin, spills lots of water everyday, like literally no skipping…We usually tell her to stop and my grandma will tell us we don’t get to tell her what to do, so we kinda gave up and just told her to at least mop after she wets all the floor (I think is a good way of making her clean her mess), because my cousin actually fell the other day when she ran over the wet floor…
But as always, my grandma tells her to just don’t hear to me or my mom…Today my cousin had go to a little earlier but I told her to mop where she left wet, my grandma AGAIN told her not to…I got pissed but I just told myself I was gonna do it. So while they were in the patio (My cousin, her parents and my grandma), I took the mop and started moping the floor next to them. My grandma got hella mad, telling me to wait for them to leave and I was like why? (we have moped with them in the house before), but she was hellbent on not letting me do it so she started literally trying to take the mop off my hands like a kid, and I looked at her and asked ‘Are you seeing what You’re doing? Let go’ and she got even madder…So I just Didn’t move, and my grandma literally ripped the mop. I was kinda shocked but I also was like ‘This is childish’ ans just went inside, took another mop and keep moping.
She then started screaming, saying she was the one who rules in the house, that I was a kid (Im 22). So, I admit, got mad and told her she wasn’t Even paying for the pool to act like she ruled over it.
She started screaming she was gonna make me pay for the light and water bills…? (I already pay half of the water, gas, wifi…) And I told her I actually do. She got mad again and told me to think what kind of things threw back at her face…And I just told her She’s always saying ‘my light, my gas, my etv’ and that’s was the reason I started paying in the first place…
Im not sure if what I did was really that bad? I kinda understand what I said was a little wrong, but it was really that bad?? Now she has been outside since 4pm…Is already 9pm, I dunno, hope you can help me get it
Would grandma rather slip on the water and break a hip??? NTA
That was actually My first thougth about this…I was like, oh, she will slip and this Will be horrible!
INFO — regardless of the wet floor, you’re 22 and living in a house with a pool with your mom, Grandma, and niece. Is it YOUR house? Who’s paying the bills? Who is the child’s actual parent?
Not my house, but I pay part of the bills Since Im living there with my mom since always actually. My aunt is the parent, works from 8am to 5pm so my mother, grandma and I take care of her children the 8yo and a baby of 10 months. I work too but I literally gain like 300 dollars and most of it goes to pay part of the bills, I get like 80 dollars for myself after bills. We all agreed on the pool but my grandma said she Didn’t wanted to pay for it, which was cool and my mother and I are paying for it and maintaining it. My mother is usually the one doing all the cleaning at home too, living with your parents/grandparents is actually common in here, hope I clarified your doubts
