All right Chicky!!
Heres what ya gotta do,
The grandparents are livin a different kind of farm life than you would, but they gotta know something. So ya pick their brain, get the Bad and dont repeat it, get the Good and use it.
You and your parents know enough about farmin to do your own thing, so seperate your farm from theirs. If you are going to use someone elses things its gonna come with strings, thats just the way it is, ESPECIALLY with family!!
Your Dad is going to continue to help his parents, because no matter what the parents are like, that is what a good man does. It may be frusterating, but it is also something to be proud of.
I know how you must feel, being lower on the Grandchild ladder than your cousins, my parents have always done it to my kids, ( apperently my brother got it right when he raised a drug dealer!?!?!)
But I have taught my kids that what others treat you like cannot define you!! My kids are your age and older and they treat my crazy shopaholic Mother with respect, and hug me very tightly when she leaves.!!LOL
She treats me like an idiot and I just smile and say yes Mom, because I know that my life is wonderful, and full, and my TEENS love me!! Im sure I dont need to tell you how rare that is.
You are obviously a very together gal, dont let others pull you down.
You are probably right that the way your grandparents treat you and your siblings is because of your Mother, lots of women are hard on people that they secretly feel threatened by, look around at school you know its true.
Therefore, you know its not YOU!!
You listen to old mama C now Ya hear!
