Wisdom Comes With Age?


Family Conflict
                I am currently living with my grandparents.  This is certainly only temporary of course.  As soon as I get enough money saved up I’m outta that place.  You see if this keeps up my grandparents and I will drive each other crazy.
                They are literally trying to manage my whole life.  My grandmother actually wanted to put MY money in HER bank.  Nuh-uh, not ganna happen gramma.  They clearly don’t trust me very much.  I think that’s why we have so many problems meeting evenly on how to do things.  “You need to get a job!’ is what my grandpa always said and now I have a job.  Well, now it’s “You need to do something!”… Something? SOMETHING? Really? 
                Well, anyway I’ve tried to explain to them that things are way different now.  I mean my grandma leaves her cell phone in the trunk of her car.  Do anybody else’s grandparents do any of this stuff?  Is there a reason to why they’ll never be satisfied with what I do?
                Furthermore, it could be that they are just from a different time.  I wish they would try to get with the times now so that things would be easier for all of us but maybe that’s not fair to them.  On the other hand I wish they would stop treating me like I can’t do anything right, especially when they can’t even use a cell phone.  How do I get them to trust me more?
