# November 17, 2023 My grandpa

I've endured for a long time, working with my grandfather in the "blacksmith shop" for over 7 years. During this time, I haven't really learned much. I've expressed many times that I don't want to work with him, but he keeps insisting. Sometimes when I'm resting or haven't completed a task, he still calls me to work. He complains a lot about me, and I don't have the strength to lift heavy objects, but he keeps asking me to work with him.

The pay isn't consistent, and I think he might want to save money since he pays others 1000 a day. I don't understand why he chooses me. When it comes to tools, he tells me not to place them randomly but in an organized manner. However, he himself places tools haphazardly and blames me for not organizing them properly. In these 7 years, the same thing has been said and unsaid multiple times. For example, he told me before that when painting, I should focus on the welding area, but now he says I should paint other areas too.

Furthermore, my grandfather is 71 years old, and I'm supposed to understand and be considerate of his situation. He can only drive himself to work (which is risky), but no one in my family is willing to take care of him due to some past incidents. In my current situation working with my grandfather, there are times when he doesn't want to work because he's tired from spending time with his girlfriend the previous day or returning home late.\
