Is it normal my 90 year old grandma freaks me out.

My nans mother is still alive she's 89 nearly 90 and I'm not sure why but I hate her. She unnerves me simpy for the fact she's 90 and still alive.My nan is like 54 and when she phones my great gran I feel uncomfortable and express to my nan I don't want her to speak to her own mother on the phone around me.Its like she's speaking to a dead lady so is it normal to feel this freaked out by this.

    Maybe your just a bad person. Throw away the old folks huh? Do you think that a person who has seen everything in the last century is a creepy old person that you can not wait to see dead. Maybe your the one who is the creep. You should embrace the opportunity to get to know where it is that you came from. It could just make you a better person.

    ASHAMED OF YOU TO BE PART OF THE HUMAN SPECIES.

    I guess it's normal because her age is supernatural considering that most humans live to be in their mid 70s. However, I don't think that you should be scared of her, in fact you should be enchanted. I love talking to my grandma simply because of her stories and life experience. I suggest that you talk to her because it's possible that you can learn something from someone who's been alive for so long.

    Dude, she's not dead! She's just really old! Chill out and be respectful. She's not dead yet.

    What you don't realise is that she is just the same as you, only in an older body. Get to know her, she might have been a right devil in her day and tell you some of the things she got up to.

    I think the average lifespan for women is now 84yo in the Western world and a man 78yo - so you may prepare for it.

    Wow... I'm sorry, but you sound pretty shallow. It's normal if you don't like your grandma because you think she's annoying, but not liking her SOLELY because she's old?? You should think it's cool that she's that old! Especially since not a lot of people live to be that long.

    You're shalloooooow.

    I agree with doctorknowsbest. You are "creeped out" simply by the fact you are never around very old people. Hopefully, if your Nan lives to be that age, you won't be feel the way you feel about old people now. Just like your Nan is when she calls her grandmother. She has lived longer with her and has close memories of her "Nan" so she doesn't feel creeped out. You are wrong to complain to her for doing so and it only shows your immaturity. Yes, you are immature and need to grow up and be more empathic. Look that word up in a dictionary and think about what you are complaining about for one day, if you are lucky, you will be able to walk in her shoes.

    If you ever wonder where you come from or why you are like you are, some of the answers are on the end of that phone line. If you ever wonder what one of your parents was like at your age, or what your grandmother was like, the answer is in the same place. If you ever wonder why you live where you do and what part of the country (or other country) your family came from, it's the same answer.

    If you don't care or wonder about any of this, I wonder just what you do fill your thoughts with. They must be amazing if the history of how you came to be is not even an afterthought but a non-thought.

    You won't remember posting this story when you yourself are ninety, but part of me hopes you do.

        Well, in a way, I was thinking about it selfishly, because I've always wanted to know where I come from. Knowing this stuff is all for my benefit. Two of my great-grandparents lived into their mid-nineties. When I started the family history, there wasn't a day I didn't wish they were still alive. But when they were alive, I don't think I asked them a single thing. I just regret it, is all. :/

    my great grandma smoked and drank all her life, and lived to be 84.

    if she was around today, she would have turned 95 in March.

    I understand that they're kinda creepy but not to the point I'd freak out if someone talked to one.
