When i was like 9 my parents had an argument with my nan and she has not visited us ever since.
She sends us christmas cards, and to give us presents, what she does is knock on the door, leave the gifts on the door step, then run to her car and drive off.
Last year she didn't send me anything for christmas or my birthday so i just thought the best thing to do, seems as she never visits, phones or ever has anything to do with me, i would just forget all about her.
So like a prat when people ask i just say that my nan is dead.
Then Thursday i got a card with money it in, she had out of the blue remembered my birthday this year, so i phone her up and say thank you.
But then my dad moans at me and says that i should go round there and see how she is doing, but i mean she has not seen me since i was like 9-10 so i am going to be completly different, and when i get there alls that she is going to talk about it how much i have grown (both up and out) and how i am doing in school.
So i may have to go round there tomorrow, unless i lie, and i go down town or somehting for a few hours.
But i mean, what the hell would i say to my nan who i have not seen for years.
"Hi nan, sorry but you never bothered to come and visit me, so i never bothered to come and visit you"
But according to my dad thats not fair, well it's true though, she lives like a 5 minuet drive away, she may not like my dad but as he said to here ages ago there is nothing stopping her comming and visiting the kids.
So as far as im concerned id rather give the money back and never see her again.

Fine you take that attitude El Robin. We'll all just think you're emotionally stunted but that is beside the point.
She was probably told by your parents never to come back again. Because that is the way people are when they argue.
You still have a Gran but yet you don't care about her in the slightest. Yet she still cares about you, otherwise you wouldn't get the money or presents. But yet you are still unappreciative.
Many of us have lost our grandparents by now, and we miss them. Yet you really couldn't care because of some argument OTHER PEOPLE HAD ALMOST 7 YEARS AGO.
Grow up.

I see where you are coming from. Just ask for the advice like you have and use what you feel is best. You are young as am I. Choices must be made but listen to those with experiance, like Timmy (I ain't using proper names as I can't be arsed even though this sentance took up more time but up goes the word count). I will listen to those and use my best judgement. It could well end up being wromg but mistakes are there to be learned from.
The word is "Nymphomaniac" lass.
I love my nan. I don't see her very often, but I make a bloody effort! Thankful, indeed.

But thats the difference, i have not seen her for years, we are not close in any way atall.
I doubt she even knows that i have been on holiday loads of times, last year of school, loads of tests ect.
And i really don't want to tell her about any of it, i get bored of it just talking about it with my own family.

On the phone when i said thank you too her she started going on about how she has a tooth ache and that she is going to the hospital to have somehting done to it.
About 1 year ago when i phoned her at christmas she was moaning about flu.
every time i phone her she is ill.
And if she died and i never got to see her for ages, it wouldnt bother me too much, because, well, i havn't seen her for ages.
Anyways she has another son who goes and see's her all the time, and they have a little baby son who she probably like more then my brother anyways.
So i couldn't give a crap about her.

First of all: bloody grow up! Yes: your nan could've come round to see you but she obviously felt strongly enough about her argument with your parents to stay away. At least she sent cards and presents even if she did forget for a year or so - or maybe she couldn't afford it for the times she didn't send anything.
Secondly: be thankful you have a nan. I only every knew my maternal granddad who died when I was two years old, and my paternal gran who died when I was eight. How would you feel if she died and you never saw her before it happened?
Go round and see her and listen to her saying "Haven't you grown!" It's not like she's gonna pull you finger nails off or anything, is it? Thank her for the card and the money. Be a bloody human being!
