My grandparents don't really do the normal grandparent things like give you money and bake you cookies and shit. They haven't spared a dime for me and I'm trying to save up for a car and it's not like my grandparents are poor they have like a $700,000 house and have plenty in the bank but they just don't give a shit I haven't had a conversation with my grandparents in 6 years other than like wow these are good pizza rolls. On the other hand my friends grandpa when we were in PC last springbreak I was gonna buy this saga jacket and he would have bought it for me right there without skipping a beat and he's not even my grandpa. so what am I little bitch boy or are my grandparents assholes

Such entitlement, they really don't owe you anything just because one of their kids made the dubious decision to procreate, even if they were billionaires.

pretty much this. my grandpa has so much money- like several million-- but he gives it away--donates it all. Sure it would be nice if he gave it all to me but its really none of my business.

Who am I kidding, he should give me some money.

The most powerful thing we can do as human beings is stand on our own.

If someone gives you shit, then great. However don't EVER thing you deserve it. That just makes you a spoiled little rat waiting for a handout.

Be a man and make your own way. Fuck what anyone gives you.

Other than what everyone else says, the phrase "I haven't had a conversation with my grandparents in 6 years other than like wow these are good pizza rolls." stands out, maybe try talking to them...

my grandfather used to be super rich until he got a divorce and it cleaned him out. But it really has nothing to do with our relationship. My popop is the man!

Three of my grandparents are dead. Both my grandmothers died when I was very young, and my dad's dad, who had Alzheimers, got severely worse once my dad's mom died, and within a year or two it was pointless visiting him because he could barely remember my dad, let alone the rest of my family. My mom's dad has been in a nursing home for most of my life because he also suffers from some alzheimer like disease, and also hasn't recognized me for many years. Only saying this because I'm sure my story isn't unique and there are plenty of other people on ns who also haven't been able to have much of a relationship at all with their grandparents for whatever reasons.

So, yes, you are 100% being a bitch boy. Be glad you are lucky enough to be able to tell your grandparents anything about pizza rolls.

It's cool, they'll probably die soon. You should just stop talking to them and hang out with your friends grandpa.

Bill gates has billions and he hasn't even bought me lunch once. What a fucking asshole. I've even bought his company's products before. You'd think with that much money he would be a little nicer. I'm not asking for a new house(although I'd be down) just a meal.

Have a heart

Maybe if you talked to them and visited every once in a while they would feel more inclined to do the "normal grandparent things"

If you are older than 14 please seriously reassess yourself. Nobody in this world owes you shit. Anything anyone gives you is a blessing and you should be grateful. But god damn. Complaining that you don't have grandparents who give you stuff? Jesus.

The problem is that he doesn't even give me an opportunity to talk to him. Last time he was here all he did was watch movies, we even invited him to come with us on a drive to this cool little town near by and get ice cream but he said no and got back to his movie. Even when we are at the dinner table all he talks about is how my parents are financially unstable and have made dumb decisions financially. I guess its just kinda hard to see my friends grandparents buy them everything even my friends grandpa has spent more time with us than my own. But my grandma from my mom side (she lives in Sweden) she is the total opposite she would buy me a car if she had the money it would be nice if it was swapped if my grandma lived her so we could spend more time and my other grandpa live in Sweden to watch his movies. But I'm still probably a bitch boy.

Try talking to him about things he's interested in and build a relationship. Talk about movies with him and be grateful that he's around. After he's gone, you're going to feel like shit for not trying harder to connect with him.

My grandparents (moms side) played a huge roll in becoming the person i am outside of ns today, both of them died of cancer in the last 4 years or so. I learned a lot of different things both physically and through the mind. I used to skip days of school when I was in kindergarten and first grade to spend time with my grandpa and work on his six acres and drive this old 1974 Cub Cadet 179 I still own to this day. He was a hard worker as a supervisor at a tool and die factory and then retired the day I was born. He lived right down the street from where I still live and I spent as much time as I could with him until the day he died. I dont regret a single minute of time I spent with him. My grandma was a very special person. she spent every waking moment cooking in the kitchen or being with my family or shopping at Jewl. She would always get this box of clear glazed doughnut holes that still make me 180 pounds to this day.

As I said, I don't regret a minute of time I spent with them until the day they died.

Sparknotes: Be nice to your grandparents, they have a lot of knowledge and can teach you valuable life lessons. Be nice to them because you never know when you won't see them anymore.

PS, I never got to know my dads parents because they died before I was born, But I was named after my dad's dad, so I guess he was a good guy.

The fact that you are of driving age and are complaining about the fact the somebody isn't using their money to buy you a car is quite a bitch boy move.
They are probably doing you a favor by not buying you a car.

Maybe your Grandpa thinks your PARENTS should fucking provide for you, and he def isn't going to help them out and give you money if they themselves aren't financially stable.

And if you think it's your grandpa's responsibility to give you a single fucking dime then you are a spoiled entitled bitch.

3 of my grandparents are dead. Both of my grandfathers died when I was real young. I wad raised basically by my Nana. She has lived with my mom and dad since I was born. Lived in the 2 flat apartment above our house in Chicago. And also with my family when the moved to suburbs. Straight off the boat Italian. She too spent and still does spend every waking moment cleaning, cooking, washing, and making sure everyone is fed and taken care of.
She is 94 years old and still does all this stuff. Quite amazing.
She has lived through ww2, and has seen and experienced stuff I can't even imagine. Is a true inspiration. The lessons and wisdom she has instilled upon me are priceless.

OP- Have a talk with Grandpa...not about money. But about having a better relationship with him. He really should be the one to reach out, but sometimes people are stubborn and it takes the other person to make the initiative. Who knows what could happen in the future.
