Had a quarrel with my grandfather..well as usual, he shouted at me in the act of showing that he is boss and no one should ever reason with him..cos he is always right.

Well, what i said to him was just 'the maid is waiting for the water to boil' hence the extra few mins he has to wait for his tea break. Of cos the 'tyrant' attitude in him wouldnt allow such a lowly member of the family speak to him in this manner..and was immediately angered...It was a loud argument..and of cos he would add lines like 'i have seen u grown up', ' how dare you..'
I find this argument pointless and i happen to be nosy at that point of time and became a person he could vent his frustrations on..

Should have just kept quiet huh..and let him shout at the maid who by now should be used to his endless scoldings...

I dont hate my grandad..in fact i do cherish and care for him alot..and i understand where his frustrations came about..but does he need to always be the one that is right? Does he need to scold and shout to just get his way? Since young, i always feared him, he was a fiesty and hot tempered granddad..he has instilled in me a lot of values where i find important that the younger generation nowadays should be taught as well..But i dont agree with how he communicates with us..

Why do we always have to bear the brunt when we are not at fault at all..and worse be maligned of expressing something totally negatively just because you are the oldest in the family?

there are times where i wish i was financially stable to be able to support myself and thus move out..will save alot of heart ache and arguments for everyone..
