Weekend at wife’s grandparents
Posted in Personal on June 8th, 2009It was a good time. Not bad at all. Unless you count all of the behind the back talking that goes on.
They don’t care for me calling Porkchop, Porkchop. They really think that I am underclass. Hmm. It is strange that they would think that considering that their granddaughter does have to work right now. It is not like I’m not providing for her.
Sure I didn’t go to a University. I don’t even have a degree or any certifications. I just have worked my ass off the old fashion way. I have made it on my own with the help of good friends, co-workers, and family. It has been a long road, but one that I have traveled.
I don’t really have a name with that side of the family either. I’m known as the daughter’s husband, to her mom and granddaughter’s husband to the grandparents. I can’t believe that they can’t even call me by name.
I attempt to not give a damn about it. The problem I have is just that they cut at me every chance they get it seems, and not in a joking way. They do it not so much to be hurtful to me, because they do not think that I know about it, but I guess to be hurtful to Sydney, my wife. I just don’t understand it. Why, would you do such a thing to your own family. I can understand expressing an opinion about someone and then dropping it. Everyone is entitled to those. After more than 2 years you think that it would have stopped by now, but it hasn’t.
Fuck them! I care because I feel that it effects my wife. I could give a shit less what they think about me. I know what type of person I am and so do many other people. If they could get their noses out of their asses for a little while, they would be able to smell their ass and realize that it too stinks.
As for the rest of the weekend, I had a blast. Knowing that I will not have to see them again for a while is joy in my heart.
FYI, these grandparents on Sydney’s mothers side of the family. Her dad’s side seems to like me well enough.
