Your Turn

Do you have one of those relatives? You know, the one you would never be seen in public with but are forced to spend time with over the holidays?

  6. I don't embarrass easily. If someone I'm with is making an ass of themselves, that's not my problem.
    Besides, the inappropriate are much more fun to be around!

  13. Oh God yes--my sister-in-law. What an epic bitch. I tried to like her when my brother-in-law married her. I swear, I really tried. But she's unlikeable. I've been dreading Christmas all year. She'll make sure everyone is as miserable as she is.

      I hear ya sweetpeanc: the kind of people who grunt at you over the salt & pepper shakers. That's why my hubby and I are going to Bali for the week before, and after Christmas, and back for NYE. No family BS! And the nice ones we'll see before & after anyway.

  14. I don't give a fuck who I'm seen in public with. If someone is being a dick head, that's on them. If it's someone close, like family, I will tell them as much. In a nicer way though.

  15. Just the reverse actually. I have an uncle that I could pretend wasn't with me/us if we were in public, but at family gatherings he's just right there being his assholey self.

  16. @Seven of Eleven - it is not possible, according to Miley, to be a 40 year old virgin. However, 40 is the age when women stop having sex.

  17. Had a freaky cousin show up and decamp in my guest room last weekend. Longest 3 days of my existence. He spent all his time photographing "chem trails" over the house, he's documenting them for his website! : /

  18. No thank God. Almost had a brother in law like that, but they didn't get married.

    Honey, I have a whole family of them! But nobody forces me to do anything, so I refuse to spend time with them over the holidays. We usually make a point of going overseas for the holidays, or working through (always a nice excuse not to be guilt-tripped into doing anything we don't want).

      Blake : me too! When I was single, following my mother screaming at my step mum and my dad, I boycotted Xmas and spent it with other Xmas "orphans". It was the best ever. Sort of do trips, work etc if things are hairy with certain family members. They get crazy? We get airfares.

  26. My uncle is schizophrenic, and lacking adequate teeth. He loves going to Kentucky Fried Chicken. Let's just say I shall never darken their door again this lifetime after joining him for a meal. I did not eat, thank goodness. Glad he enjoyed himself...
