My grandma talks about me behind my back?

I am a 20 year old guy and I go to my grandparents house they live 5 minutes walking distance from where I live.

Anyways I always ask my grandma if she needs help with chores around the house cooking cleaning yard work whatever and she always says no every single time and if I attempt to do something on my own and take initiative she says no Im not gonna do it right or she will hire somebody.

And then she turns around and tells my sisters whos about 2 years older that I dont help around and im lazy and stuff and I just dont get it

another thing that bothers me is Im always there if they need something while my sister puts her friends first

I feel like ignoring my grandma and just going out and doing other things even though she practically raised me I dont wanna put up with this

Update:

what would you do

Update 2:

I know for a fact for a 65 year old woman what she is perfectly healthy she gets regular check ups and the doctor says she is fine she is very active and even runs her own business

I know that she didnt forget because this literally happened today and I asked her if she needed help she said no and then 10 minutes later she told my sister I dont do anything to help around

    You're a lovely young with amazing drive, patience and tolerance and yet this misery known as gma puts you down like a dog. You love this woman, of course, who mostly raised you and raised you right. So do the only thing you can do to get around this: Surprise the hell out of her by asking her to include you the next time she performs one of these tasks so that she can instruct you on how it should be done to her standards. She may faint but oh, well. She sounds pretty strong. You may have to ask several times but if you do she'll know you are in earnest and should start to feel like the rube she is for rebuffing your generous offers to assist. The day will come soon enough when NO ONE will make such an offer. She should seize all the expressions of love and generosity she currently compels. Winter comes sooner than any of us expect.

    I like you, 20. You're all right. Free virtual beer. All you can virtually drink.
