My mother would not allow my old grandmother to sit at the table with them. What did I say to my mother and what happened after that?

I am married and have been away from my father’s house for several years. Due to busyness and work, I rarely visit my parents. I recently visited, and what I saw, I was very disappointed. We were going to have lunch when my mother put Grandma’s lunch separately in her room so that she would not come to the table. Couldn’t get over this scene.

I ask my mother: why did you put lunch separately? He also said with an unpleasant expression on his face: «Well, your grandmother’s hands are shaking, she spills everything, let her eat alone in her room.» My eyes were red with anger. I could not stand it and began to speak very rudely. I told my mother, that is, if at the age of 20 you also have health problems, your hands are shaking too, should we isolate you in a separate room so that you do not interfere with us? My mother blushed at my words.


I got up, went to my grandmother’s room, took her by the hand and led her into the living room, sat down next to her, helped her to have dinner, and then just ate. I also told my mother: after that, you will help her eat, and then you will eat yourself. It’s not my grandmother’s fault that she has become old and helpless, tomorrow we will grow old too and we definitely won’t like it if we are treated the way you treat your grandmother. Grandmother kissed me on the forehead and closed her eyes, and my mother left the room in shame.
