My grandmother tells me that she thinks I drink too much water but that woman also seems to live off of half a cup of water and a can of Diet Coke a day and just sucks on hard candy when she feels thirsty so idk if it’s growing up in the 40s and 50s that made her like that or if that’s just how she is but I’m pretty sure she’s been dehydrated for the past 70 years or so
She’s also like “why do you drink so much water? Do you have a medical condition?” and I’m like “Grandma, both of us have type 2 diabetes we need to be drinking water constantly” and then she goes “oh that’s right” and keeps sucking on hard candy.
Like lady if you wanna stay dehydrated that’s your business but why are you judging me for my water consumption habits
I spend basically all of my waking hours constantly sipping on water, tea, or coffee and aside from all the pee it’s pretty great and I enjoy doing it but my wonderful grandma who I love very much keeps trying to get me to take up her hard candy instead of water routine and I’ve never fully understood why. It’s one thing for her to enjoy being dehydrated but why try to get me to do it?
Okay so my grandparents have a lady from the VA who comes a few days a week to help them clean and prep food and stuff and my grandma needed help from us with something today and their caregiver was leaving as we arrived and she was like “she refuses to drink water no matter what I do. Is she sick or something?” and we were like “no she’s always been like that”
I feel slightly bad for the professionals trying to keep this woman healthy for a while longer. They are fighting a losing battle.
We just got her daughter on the phone who lives all the way in Europe to tell her to drink more water and I dunno if that’s gonna work but she’s certainly been thoroughly lectured
