it’s always awkward when my mom relays that once again my grandpa is bothered by the fact I hardly go upstairs

like. maybe if he could tone down the down racism, homophobia, and generally shitty attitude about most things... maybe I would be more inclined to visit upstairs?

Can’t really say that though so yknow...

#like we went to olive garden yesterday as a late birthday dinner for me #and my grandma was talking about a cute lesbian couple on her soap opera that got married #and here i am in the middle of olive garden hearing a homophobic slur from this man about it #also he has... a very sexist attitude #and he's gotten more zealous with the religion lately and its. uncomfy.#not only bc I am agnostic and don't really believe in any sort of higher power #but also because... like... dude... your grandpa was native...#and christian extremists are likely (definitely) why we no longer have any sort of connection to that part of our heritage...#he doesnt really talk about his grandma or parents so idk what thats about and im not about to ask #bc the man is a fucking minefield on a GOOD day #ive always gotten along way better with my grandma bc she doesn't seem to have the same beliefs as him #oh my god one time we somehow got on the topic of vaccines and autism #and this man tried to say straight up that only /virus/ vaccines do that #like... no... no vaccine. of any kind. causes autism.#how do you not know this. you have an autistic granddaughter. it was absolutely not the work of vaccines and you should know that #he's also CONSTANTLY trying to find an excuse/gotcha reason to feed the dog things I've warned them are toxic to her #like oh my god. just because some distant uncle i dont fucking remember says 'green grapes are fine just not red' doesn't make it fucking-#true??#is this uncle a vet?? no?? then he needs to shut up.#these stories about relatives giving dogs coffee and chocolate aren't cute they're horrifying please stop trying to find an excuse to poison #your fucking dog.#is it not enough that you fed the last one a grape and had to rush her to the vet?? did that not give you all the information you needed on-#that??#just because you cant see the damage doesnt mean it isnt being done ffs #'none of our dogs ever died of that'#that you KNOW of #even if it doesn't kill them it can still do permanent damage or make them feel ill for a while #also he's literally also constantly harassing my grandma to give the dog more treats and food despite the fact she's overweight #your last dog was twice her healthy weight can you fucking NOT with this one??#and ofc he gets mad when my grandma doesnt want to shovel food at the dog like a furnace
