FlameHairedGirl Posted June 3, 2014 Share Posted June 3, 2014 This is probably more of a rant than a question, but could class as both I guess... What do you guys think of extended family? Aunts, uncles, cousins, Grandparents etc. I know it's probably awful of me to think of any of them in this way but I can't help be but irritated by most of them. My mum's side are only proud of you if you pop a kid out - I'm 22 with no kids "must be barren" "you're weird" "depriving your poor boyfriend of children". If you study or have a job, they think you're a mug. They constantly bitch, judge every little thing, moan and try find loop holes in getting out of working for their money. You can't have a family get together because a fight ALWAAYS happens. They have to know everything about everyone, say the most vile things then forget 2 minutes later and if you dare keep a bit of your life private, they turn into petty school kids. Mum's not like them, she had me and my sisters young but she made a career for herself and moved away to a better area. Cue the bashing she got because she wasn't close enough for them to mither. Dad's side is more tolarable, but look down their nose a bit and seem to think they're perfect enough to judge others - all hard working people but forget they're human too. It's hard to just ignore them as they're all within my area so it's not like I can avoid them and I (unfortunately) work with two on my mother's side. I don't want to feel this bitter and hating on anyone, but being related to utter c**k ends sometimes really gets you down. Link to post Share on other sites
nofeelings22 Posted June 3, 2014 Share Posted June 3, 2014 Sounds like most extended families. The secret to fixing it is to stop giving a sh$t. ha ha Funny, but true. Just go on with your life, don't listen to them and live well on your own terms. Link to post Share on other sites
