Grandma reacts badly to her granddaughter's new hair color, and this letter-writer feels caught in the middle.
My niece was very upset, my sister got really angry with my mother, and now I’m stuck in the middle of this, with my mother trying to get me to agree with her position that this is a disaster.
Note that my mother has historically criticized everyone for things she doesn’t condone. My sister maintains that Grandma should know to “filter” her remarks. Grandma says she should have been “warned” because of her history with criticism.Anonymous:Responding to Sister: “The word ‘should’ is the root of all misery.” Then resume staying out of it.
Responding to your niece: “Good for you. If nothing else, this family will teach you to trust yourself and not to worry what everyone thinks.” Then resume staying out of it. You can’t save people from themselves, or the consequences of their actions and expressed opinions. Nor do you have an obligation to mitigate their stupidity.
