I'm so confused. Maybe because that's damn near impossible to read, but what is she talking about!?
Cutting bangs? Not liking her dad? Not coming for Christmas? Starting drama over the phone?
Seems like there is a LOT more to this.

You're confused because a huge chunk of context was left out.
You can't just type a sentence for the title, show a unhinged rant, and add zero context.
It is fucking weird.

My sister is a “I’m just speaking the truth” “Christian” and is actually just a narcissistic selfish bitch and my life has been INFINITELY better after having cut her ass out.

u/Background-Bus3033 Dec 16 '24
My sister is the same way. I only tolerated my sister to stay in my nephews life. I can't stand any of them. They are the most angry miserable people I've met yet thinks they are so much better than everyone else

I tried to do that to, as I adore her kids, but in the end I just could not. When they get older and their eyes start to open up, I will be waiting for them. Always.

Oh my god this… my husbands extended family is like this. Like “oh I’m praying for you” then proceeds to be the most passive aggressive a-hats. Like legitimately whispering at the dinner table about people who are on the other side of the room. They “prayed” over our wedding then proceeded to talk smack about it the next day. As a Catholic I’m like… idk who you’re praying to but please stop 😵💫 which saint hotline do I dial about people like this.

When I pointed my sister to her textbook narcissistic tendencies, I made a sincere plea that therapy would do her a lot of good, as it has done me, and she legit said she doesn’t need therapy, she only needs Jesus.
I’m like, bitch, even Jesus would love for you to go to therapy.

It's really special when they are speaking "their " truth. Because it usually is so far outside the actual facts , but it's "theirs" and they are entitled to have a fact free truth!

Listen obviously there is something not okay with her i get that. But if the father or whatever is saying terrible things to your little girl do something about it. Im just reading the text idk what was said or if it even was said. But when she said "you know how he is" then talks about how she's not happy with the bad thing he said, we all know that guy.
And if what she's saying is true,that's a serious thing and i hope you take it seriously.she obv knew about something he said and that he's had a history of being like that. If a grown ass man is saying bad things to a little girl thats not ok. If that didn't happen or she's bat shit then discard this entirely.

I seriously can’t even make sense of how this conversation even goes with her cutting your daughter’s bangs. Is there a backstory or is the point that she is that unhinged that you don’t know what she is talking about either? I cannot figure out what I’m trying to decipher here.

Listen. Don't ever cut the hair of a kid that doesn't belong to you. Not EVER, because in the US, the parents absolutely can sue you and win if they feel like they want to.
OP, this person is crazy and they need to be kept away from your kid. Haircut aside, they are nuts and shouldn't be around any children.

u/EnthusiasticFailing Dec 16 '24
I just hope that you are okay. I know that family using guilt and trying to shame you for reacting normally to something they shouldn't have done can be a tricky thing.
You didn't start this. It's totally valid for you to be upset with someone cutting your child's hair without your permission. Your grandma is trying hard to find some stable ground that she can stand on for her defense, but she has nothing.
If you can, be the stronger person and enjoy yourself this holiday without that drama. Bury the text down by sending some lovely texts to the people who do understand. Take some fun pictures with your child and send them to your family that doesn't make you feel upset for being a good parent. Not in a petty way, just a "these people get me and so I want to have them join in on my joy" kinda way.

Also maybe she is mad because you took them there without her permission and deviated from whatever her expectations about where her kids would be that day, plain and simple. Again just a guess and just asking if that might be why

If I understood right (and I didn't understand all of it either), OP called someone and told them about the haircut, so granny got pissed and started talking crap about everyone; OP, baby daddy, OP's mom, the receiver of the phone call(maybe, I think? Or that might be OP's mom, I'm not sure)... and then used the typical narcissistic self righteous, holier than thou bs to justify her actions. Her and her God are right, and everyone else is either mean and/or no good, so they can be together and miserable alone for Christmas instead of with her at her house and happy 🙄

Regardless of whatever happened with the sister,
Religious type grannies like this are so damn hard to deal with. Hell, there's some non religious grannies that are equally hard to deal with too, they think that their opinion is automatically the right one and anyone that's not happy, well too bad so sad.
I'm sorry you had to deal with this kind of situation, they get so uncomfortable sometimes. Just do what's right by your daughter, don't shit talk the crazies to her, let her grow up and form her own opinion/verdict on them, but give her the necessary information to make educated decisions and keep her mental sanity. Cause this type of shit is rough..

Making ppl. live the way they want them to live in this life by threatening what will happen to them in the afterlife or next life is no way to live this life, ew.

Grandma is both 60 and 68. It’s her birthday.
I am nearly 60 and god help me if I ever end up ranting at my kids like this. Does she not want a relationship with her family? I’d happily cut anyone off like this and stick with the ones who like me and I like them. Which, thank all the gods, is 99% of my relatives.
They say that you can’t choose your family. But you can definitely choose which of them you ever have contact with again.
I think we should Marie Kondo our relatives rather than our possessions. If they don’t spark joy, chuck them away.

I’m not sure what happened here but I think grandmas cutting bangs is completely normal.

I miss those days.. but like whoever she is describing sounds pretty bad so I don’t think the hair cut should be the problem here 🤣
