What Would Spike Do?

[bullseye]

Alrite so first ide like to say that spike is my idol
so when im in a dilemna i like to ask myself what would spike do
that being said im in a dilemna
ya see my grandmother (my dad's mother) she hates my mom. ever since i was 4 years old she talked shit bout my mom to me
ofcourse that never effected the way i felt about my mother. i love her more than anything
and a few months ago i finally got sick of hearing my grandma bad mouth my mom so i walked out of her apt and stopped talkin to her. and my grandma has a lot of pride so she didnt make any attempt to talk to me either. o and ide just like to point out that my grandma doesnt bad mouth my mom THAT much but she still does it on occassion. and it still pissed me off oh and she hates my mom for no reason my mom never did anything to hurt her. so back to the story...so i called my grandma a few weeks later and told her that if she promised to stop bad mouthing my mother in front of me everything would be back to normal. she said she doesnt have to promise me anything so i continued not to talk to her. so waht do u think i should...better yet what would spike do? and not the pussy william the poet...i mean SPIKE

Well... I think he would yell at her. But since she's family, I doubt he would do more. You love your dad, don't you? And you dad loves his mom? And you like her too. So I guess, if he was in your shoes, he would yell and then not talk.

Well, we all know that Spike loved his mother dearly. And he probably would take kindly to anyone bad mouthing his mum, including family.

It's wrong to make kids feel like they are in the middle of family tension. You should tell your Dad how you feel. And tell your Mom too! I'm sure that your Dad would have something to say about this.

Grandparents are old, and are due respect...but they are still humans with flaws and make mistakes. In my opinion, your Grandma needs a reality check. Spike would probably tell her off! But out of respect I think you should let your parents deal with this, so you don't need to feel stuck in the middle!!!

1) Okay first off what age are you?

2) Have you asked your Gran why she does not like your mum? Try to understand her point and reason with her

3) Your Gran should not be speaking to you about these types of things which unless you are of a descent age then I'd suggest getting your dad to talk to his mum (your gran) and see where it goes from there. This shouldn't have to be anything to do with you.

And I'm sorry to say this but it sounds like your Gran needs to realise what she DOES have and makes a descission on whether or not her behaviour is worth losing a granchild and possible many others in her life.

Hope this helps,


Oh and Spike would just tell her to sod off and probably go and moan about it to Buffy.

Spike wouldn't do this, necessarily, but it might help. Pray for an intervention and forgive. Sounds like your grandma needs it.

Love heals all wounds.

im 18

btw i appreciate the advice and all but i dont need to know what I SHOULD do. i need to know what would SPIKE do in my situation. i got 2 options; not talk to my grandmother again OR talk to her again and just tell her off every time she talks shit bout my mom...now which one of these would spike pick

[bullseye]

oh and another thing...my mom wants me to talk to my grandmother again..

[cheryl]

Well, Spike never was one to give up, now was he?

ummm...is this the proper place to be posting this?

Why are feeding this delusion? YOU need to do what YOU need to do. you're an adult and don't need to be worrying about what fictional characters would do.

If you have a problem...deal with it like a grown up.

Sorry I just can't fathom feeding this kind of behavior.

P.S have some proper etiquette and spell check. It's hard to take an 18 year old seriously if they misspell simple words like I'd
