Family / Re: Help: My Aunt And I by Pastemj(f): 11:12pm On Sep 09, 2020 |
Jezzzz Sorry please calm down everyone I'm really not rude. I do everything I am asked to do right and I can challenge that fact anywhere I go. My Aunt never saw the question I asked as rude or so I believe because we both laughed about it. The only problem I have is THE CHILDREN'S CHARACTER and that wasn't a problem until the lockdown started and I had more time to lazy around in the house. I'll break it down in points 1. The parents are usually at work Mon-Fri even with the lockdown, hence, I am indoors with children until they are back. 2. When they eventually get back no productive conversation goes on apart from "mummy what did you buy for me?" "Mummy what will we eat?" and then they watch some TV and go to bed. With this little time spent with the kids, I tend to be on the receiving end of all the characters both good and bad. EVERY SINGLE DAY SINCE THE LOCKDOWN. 3. The only days I manage to distance myself I get a backlash saying I don't love them this and that. Meanwhile I do everything I am asked to do. Cook, clean, dust name it. It's not like I'm being rude or anything I'm just a young growing woman begging for space from children that want to drive me nuts I see this as a parasitic relationship. I am on the loss side and all of them profit more from my interactions. When they get home they see the good parts in the children because I have paid the price I have corrected them, shouted, warned, name it just so they'd behave well and then the little time I take a time off I become the devil, the unloving person. Let me explain my distance: I wake up in the morning, wait for her to finish everything in the kitchen cause she wouldn't let me help her, then I go ahead and wash the plates, do my daily hygiene and then fix myself a breakfast, all this done without saying a word to the kids except I am asked a reasonable question. That continues to late at night. The only thing I do is I don't talk as much, I pick my words and I'm always in my room unless I am needed brethren that Is all I do. |
Family / Help: My Aunt And I by Pastemj(f): 8:13pm On Sep 09, 2020 |
I really just need different opinions about this. I'm a girl, I live with my aunt and two kids. Overtime her kids started becoming rude and often pass very degrading comments at me. I found a way to ignore them as she advised but as time went on I began loosing it cause their attitude was becoming worse. This time if any one of them dared come close to me, touch or in any way trigger me I end up doing them back. As time went on they calmed down and I was just getting more and more harsh/impatient. I was annoyed by the fact that I had to be harsh with them just so they'd be nice, it felt bizarre. I seemed help from a mentor and I started the 50/50 scheme if they mess up I ask them to report themselves to their parents therefore I don't get to do the dirty work. Also, if I felt disrespected I would let them know or walk away. But I drifted, instead I started ignoring 70% of their actions and only saying what I felt was necessary. So far it worked well, no form of rude comments, I'm always in my room so even if they were being naughty I wouldn't know. It felt good. Now the main part: My Aunt met me and asked what was in the food I made for the children. She said it had a smell. The smell was from the groundnut oil and it wasn't even a bad smell. At this point I got upset and asked if she thinks I'd poison them and she started telling me about life and about my recent character. Now I ask what did I do wrong? Would it be better to interact with them normally and feel drained mentally because I have to swallow every rude comment? Would it be better if I continue to let them mess with me? Note: they are within the ages of 7 and 12 while I am 18 People have said my act is childish but it's what helps me. I know I am very intolerant but they are destroying the last bit of humane patience in me and it seems their parents are enjoying the show. Also note>>> They probably won't remember their actions in 2years but I will remember it forever and it has already started tormenting me. Right now I don't have any hopes for marriage and children. As at present I feel a certain resentment whenever I see children their age. It's scary and I'm confused and I fear for my mental health... 2 Likes 1 Share |
