Family sucks
Just to liven things up...I was playing on Family Matters and reading how everyone seems to hate their in laws (except me! apparently).
So, why does your family suck (in laws or biological)?
Re: Family sucks
My MIL is manipulative. She also speaks without thinking all the time. And she loves to pit mh and I against each other. SIL is MILs little spy.
As for my family, my sister has gotten better, but sometimes you can go a really long time without hearing from her. And she isn't very nice to my parents.
I haven't seen my MIL since our wedding and have no plans to. She's basically put herselves out of her sons lives.
Let's put it this way, when we found out we were PG she found out because one of Mark's brothers told her. She only talks to this one brother because he lives 5 min. from her and runs her errands since she doesn't have a car. She called to congratulate my mom for her new grandchild-to-be and she has yet to say anything to us. She did call my mom about a month ago to make sure she was invited to the shower...umm yeah...
OH yah, she was also the only one not to say Congrats to us on our wedding video; she talked about how nice it was to see family & friends. OH..and we didn't get a Congrats/Card/Hand Shake....nothing after the wedding.
As far as my family goes, I
them all! 
My mom is nosy sometimes. And tries to be my "Friend" instead of my mom sometimes (and says things like "You and YH could use these to tie each other up during sex!") We are NOT Loralei and Rory...she doesn't quite get that.
And my sister has jealous tendencies which causes her to interrupt, talk over, and try to put down people..
As for my inlaws...I love them! Except a SIL, but that would take a very long time to tell you guys about...
Well my MIL is psycho...any woman who tells her new husband she has no kids and that MH is really her youngest brother has major problems or fakes a pregnancy and miscarriage just to get sympathy from people...yeah enough said I go for days. Other than that most his family is okay. One of his uncles recently was an ass but that's because of his new gf.
My family drives me nuts a lot, and well you all know about what happened last summer when MH quit. It's just not the same relationship it was before and it sucks.
My family: Mostly my parents and my sister. Game play. That's all they're about. From "I'm a dumbass redneck" to "keeping up with the Joneses", you're only useful to them if you can give my parents something to brag about, or my sister needs something. There's OH SO MUCH I could say about them, but I'm trying to keep it short. LOL
MH's family: For the most part, we adore them. They can drink a little too much at times, MH's uncle J is a rich ass (and his wife is really a treat), but we're blessed with them overall. They are always there for us, are proud of us, love us to pieces, and while they don't always agree with our decisions (to wait to have kids or strict with Xena), they respect us for them and let us live our own lives.
My mother in law is awesome, i love her to death. However, my husbands aunt can suck it. Ive had nothing but problems with her and she just gets worse. She is constantly emailing me telling me that if i cant produce children then nick should leave me since everything is fine with him it must be me. I dont need to get into any more detail than that she just sucks and im done with her.
Everyone knows i have issues with my biological father and my maternal grandmother thinks she can walk all over you say rude nasty things about you but youll still be around her and do things for her even if she is putting you down 130% of the time. Her and I no longer have a relationship either.
OMG, Stacy! What if you didn't WANT to have kids??? Then what? OR what if it HAD been Nick's problem and not yours? Should you have left him?
I love my MIL, she never ever butts into our business unless I want her too. She is supportive if I need her though and she is loving and was very welcoming. I couldn't have asked for a better one. I never met my FIL, he lived in Oregon and passed away last year.
I love MH's younger sister and I am fairly close to her because MH and her lived together for a few years when we were first dating.
MH's older sister means well but she has some mental illness issues and I have had some issues with her in the past. She has three children, my niece and 2 nephews who I love to death though.
My family is pretty great. I love my mom more than anything in the world, she is the best. My dad and I used to not get along very well but since I moved out of their house we get along better and he means well. He just talks before he thinks sometimes. My three sisters and I are close and get along most of the time.
Yes this lady is horrible and is the reason behind most of my Fb status. I really am working on people not getting to me but im past the end of my rope with her. Honestly i dont know what she would do if she thought it was nick. I actually think that when i go to the dr if for some odd reason i found out i couldnt have children at all, dh and i know we would pursue adoption.
That makes me think well then her comment will be that im not a real mother because i physically didnt give birth to the child myself or that the child wouldnt be welcomed into the family because of her opinion. I know for a fact my mother in law and her side of the family would accept the child, adopted or not. This is my father in laws side and they are very different. She just keeps telling me over and over again that nick needs a wife who can reproduce and im like well excuse me we dont know that i cant. Anyways i cant deal with her anymore at all so its no more mrs. nice girl to her.
I have to agree... honestly, there's not letting people get to you and then there's just bumfvck crazy and someone needs to put her in her place. I'd definitely let her have it.
