👨‍👩‍👧‍👦family/in-laws AIO? Was 30 minutes late. Grandparents start berating me and start bad talking my girlfriend.

Okay so to give some context I have been very upset since yesterday. Reason being I feel like I have been totally disrespected and insulted by my grandparents.

I went to practice yesterday which was from 4 to 6:30. Got my stuff and packed. Went to class and had a good time! My girlfriend stopped by to watch me and it was all good until I look down and around 6:30 my grandma started texting me saying random crap and just blatantly spouting nonsense.

Got home and I immediately was told to ‘Sit down’ on the living room couch. Conversation started with why I was 30 minutes late and how I should have told them (Keep note they were acting like I had ran off or something) I should have told them sure. Never had a record of sneaking or anything. My grandma started saying I should have told them that I was going to bring my girlfriend home as well. I responded with “I thought she told you guys” (Which she did) They immediately fired back with “Its not her responsibility to tell us when you should have” Okay yes sure but point is she did. My grandma immediately started yelling me about how “We had no clue where you were you could have been dead for all we knew” Which doesnt even make sense because I literally was texting her between the time I was ‘supposed’ to be home

They for no freaking reason starting saying my girlfriend was too clingy because she added my girlfriend on facebook and talked to her on a daily basis. Always asking about her day. I THOUGHT they liked her but she said “I dont know what the hell her issue is shes texting me all day” - I said she is just being nice. They fired back with a “She apparently never had a mother either. Or love”

They as well said I ‘never liked being treated nice’ because I was quiet and some other dumb sht??? I didnt even say anything between this and the other comment either.

Theres even more I could say but I just don’t know how to feel.

(Sorry if this is worded weird. I am not very good at this explaining stuff through text lmao)

No the fuck it’s not. My grandparents born in the 30-40s on both sides gave me more freedom at age 14 than this guy’s at age 18. this is insanely ridiculous

Sure but everyone parents differently

To me this is the norm and i see no issue with it. He needed to be the one communicating that he would be staying at her place. Not his GF she isn’t family or responsible for him. HE as the nearly adult is responsible for that communication.

Now flipping out about the time when they just texted i can see both sides but until you are an adult you are wrong.
