Allowing yourself to be annoyed isn't "respectful", it's just annoying. Unless you're a total pushover, you wouldn't let a stranger ramble at you for half an hour, I mean, unless you honestly enjoy what they're saying, which the OP doesn't. Family members and old people don't inhabit some special moral category where they're allowed to annoy the shit out of you without the same consequences that would apply to any other people. That being said, this could be an opportunity to perfect your Russian, which could in turn make the conversations genuinely enjoyable. And in this economy you need all the skills you can get; being fluent in a second language can easily land you a $15+ per hour job. You should definitely give this a shot, but if it doesn't work out, there's no shame in not enjoying the presence of a family member. Relationships are voluntary.
shut the fuck up grandma leanin on my dick fucking shit up yo you mothafuckin prick gin and oj make the girls go wild drunk up in this shit like muthafuckin oscar wilde ha ha ha ha ha thread suck my balls l m n o p q r not all the vowels sorry bout that folks. i might be shitfaced or not my friend just asked if it was melk or milk hahaha damn im ruining your thread my bad im dead bury me alive with this failur of a thread just kiddin my friend i aint read shit i have no clue of this threat and its content
I agree. You could probably learn a lot from listening to your grandmother, including better russian and how to have patience with people.
Take that time and listen for 30 minutes or an hour. After awhile if she doesnt say "oh im making you bored" or something along those lines, you can probably get out of the conversation without her saying anything. My grandmothers house was about 5 minutes from my high school, and id eat lunch there everyday. For an hour she would feed me and basically talk about the same things (the conversations moved in circles). Just put up with it for a bit, make your grandmother feel wanted. Put yourself in her shoes. EDIT: and I have learned little facts about my family and other interesting things. Although most of the conversations were purely for her sake, and I couldnt have cared less about the substance, you can always learn something, and the odd occasion I did.
Consider yourself lucky bro. I live with my grandfather and he has alzhiemers and dementia and he was a fuckin nuclear warhead everyday. Your bitchin about her just rambling, imagine if she screamed at you in a rage for hours at a time over delusions, shit you didn't even do. Luckily he's on mood stabilizers now, and all I gotta deal with is pissed/shitted pants
I am in the same situation as OP, except I speak fluent Russian. My grandmother goes on long ass tangents too, you gotta let her know. I always make sure to ask how her tangent has anything to do with what I said and she usually just stops. They have a lot of stories and they like sharing every little bit of everything they know about friends/relatives.
