Family Matters

[Shorty]

Tomorrow I fly home to good old Coeur d'Alene, Idaho to spend three and a half days with the gang. It's fun, except when it's not, because my mom's favorite passtime is harassing her four daughters about absolute nonsense. Then I fight with the youngest and the middle two fight with eachother and my mom starts bitching how my dad is worthless and we tell her to shut up and WE ARE ALL CRAZY and can't have nice things.

How hilariously messed up is your family?

[Jowy]

we make fun of uncle michael whenever we see him (usually just funerals) for being a fugitive on the run

that pretty much sums it up

coeur d'alene has been described by someone as "the best time you'll have in idaho". i can only assume that describes how staggeringly depressing the state is

[Iceglow]

My family is messed up. Seriously


Starting with my sister:

My sister and brother hate each other. Like actual hatred... can't even talk to one another. Then again she caused marital problems for him. She recently claimed he was looking to steal my girlfriend because he's made an effort to get to know this girl I'm dating whereas before he's not bothered. I'm not kidding he's not my girlfriend's type, he's too short, too old and too bald for her likes and even discounting that he's my brother he isn't going to steal my girlfriend.

She has 4 children by 3 different men.

She cannot live with me because we will murder one another.

Moving on to my brother

My brother hates my sister for good reason, he gets along with me but he's 15 years my senior. He doesn't see mom very often in fact last time was about 4 years ago.

Moving on to my mom:

My Mom is starting to go a little senile. She's never managed to actually call me by my real name. Seriously when I was a kid it was always "Paul" or "Jason" (name of my eldest nephew) before she'd then correct herself and call me "Steven" people wonder why I hate anyone calling me Steven? She's the reason why usually because she calls me it when I'm in trouble or whenever she mistakenly calls me a different name. As an adult I'm often called "Tyler" the name of my youngest nephew. I could almost understand my eldest nephew and me since we're actually 7 years apart as adults we could look alike (we don't but it's possible we could), however my youngest nephew who is 10?

My mother has some weird issue with me dating people. She'll always try to find issues with my girlfriends despite having no issues with who my sister dates in general or any grounds for doing so.

Am I the only one who saw the thread title and was disappointed the topic wasn't Steve Urkel related?

My family isn't too bad. I mean, I've got an uncle prone to getting plastered, dancing on tables, and planting future nephew in laws with multiple kisses the first time he meets them, aunts who maintain an uneasy peace by bottling up their rage when they all gossip and talk about the stupid things they do, a grandmother who votes liberal every election despite being a bit of a racist homophobe who will go to her grave never knowing that my sister and I, and probably more than a few of our cousins are atheists and another is gay with one possibly still in the closet.

But that's all pretty normal right?

[Christmas]

My dad got turned into a giant whale monster that terrorizes the world every now and then.

My mum plays the piano in a bar and will ditch my dad anytime for some old general from the army.

My sister is always armed with a funny looking sword which can turn into a gun because she cannot decide what she wants.

And I ate my little brother....opps.

The description is true and your assumption is correct.

As an Idaho Resident, I can confirm that theory to be true.

My family has had its fair share of problems, but I don't think there is anything between any of us that caused any major discord. That's only my immediate family. Going outside of that is a whole different ballpark. I won't be a jerk and describe it here. Plus, it really isn't worth talking about.

[Citizen Bleys]

Every single member of my family is awesome. I pity you poor souls.

[Jinx]

My family "jokes" (meaning merciless insults and makes fun of one another) to show their "love." When you tell them you don't like it, they scream at you and call you a pussy.

Yeah, I don't talk to them much.

[Shiny]

My mother is a shopaholic and my father is an enabler. That's as far as it really goes anymore.

I was near Coeur d'Alene once. Went camping around there during my senior year, was kinda fun. Sunk a jetski.

My family isn't really all that strange anymore. My brothers and I used to fight all the time when we were younger, but now we all pretty much get along. I don't have any super crazy family members, it's kind of boring.

My girlfriend's family though. Whoa boy.

[Clo]

My mom is a wino and my dad is a Trekkie. My little brother is married to his childhood sweetheart and is in the Marines. They make fart jokes and eat at McDonalds every Friday morning. I love them!

I hate most of my boyfriends family, except his sister. She thinks the government has a file on her. I love her, sincerely.

Define "family"

I am also disappointed in the lack of Urkel.

And my family is fairly normal, at least relatively speaking. My grandfather is a Birther, though he's as crazy as it gets.
