I have already prefaced in another reply that this Grandpa Joe hate isn’t that serious, it’s poking fun at the fact he goes from bed-bound to suddenly facing and jiving as though it were nothing…
Having said that, even if he couldn’t work part time, if he isn’t at least as bed-bound as the others he could at least help out around the house so Mum can go work so they don’t have to eat cabbage soup every night, rather than dedicating her life to caring for a bed’s worth of old people.
I’m aware, my grandpa Joe defence isn’t that serious either lol.
Maybe he offered to help but the family said no? I know my grandma sometimes grumbled about her kids and grandkids never letting her do anything cause they were always like “it’s alright grandma we can do it for you”. Maybe grandpa Joe was being forced to stay in bed by rhe family because of his age and he saw the factory trip as a chance to finally get out of bed for a day? Perhaps poor grandpa Joe is simply misunderstood.
