UnmagicMushroom Posted November 7, 2011 Report Share Posted November 7, 2011 As Chii said, my family is stable, but not flawless. My mom is great - she can get a little uppity and breathes down my neck (figuratively) sometimes, but overall she's awesome and has a great sense of humor. My dad has a good heart, but I think he's going a little bit senile or something. He used to be quite annoying and uptight, but that was due to s**t he was getting at work which he didn't talk about - leading to a recent stress-related breakdown which he had to be admitted to a clinic for for a while - but since he got back home he's been a lot more relaxed and just generally "more improved". My one sister still lives at home, she's generally great and she's quite crazy in a fun way (as am I), but we have differences sometimes but we generally get along very well. My other sister lives up in the northern suburbs (which, we tease, is a different country). She's married and we hardly see her nowadays, but she's awesome. She's the one who introduced me to good taste in music (bias). She came down two weeks ago actually, but I was out so I didn't see her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Great Unclean One: VK Posted November 7, 2011 Report Share Posted November 7, 2011 Family stability? I'll put my family's status on that. Currently, we just cope with our problems by mocking and making fun of a certain family member. The current poor bastard selected is a guy me and my cousins call "Japanese" Uncle. We call him that because he lived in Japan for a while, raised a family there, but left due to his wife having a affair and the kids turning out to be not his. He went to the States loaded and hoping we'd help him out and provide some support. All he got was trash talk, and a horrible life as my Uncle's b****. Not only that, but since he's younger then my dad, my dad constantly reminds him of his family and stuff and is still seen socially acceptable in my family. I'm the only one who actually tries to be nice to him and help him out how I could. Now, because I'm being nice, the whole damn family is now targeting me.

Sunshine Jesse Posted November 7, 2011 Report Share Posted November 7, 2011 My mom is nuts. She's an absolutely crazy, neurotic mess who can't stand being alone even if it means staying with her horrible boyfriend. That being said, she genuinely tries to be a good mom despite dropping me with my aunt and uncle most of the time. I never knew my dad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Great Unclean One: VK Posted November 7, 2011 Report Share Posted November 7, 2011 Zarkus, if your dad left your mom, I suppose you wouldn't want to meet him. A man who refuses to stick with his wife and kid is scum. No offense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sunshine Jesse Posted November 7, 2011 Report Share Posted November 7, 2011 I wouldn't really go out of my way to my uncle has been the best father figure I could ask for Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Great Unclean One: VK Posted November 7, 2011 Report Share Posted November 7, 2011 My dad dumped me on my Uncle's lap. He ain't no father figure, but at least he taught me how to bide and to think ahead. Thanks to him, I'm using the lessons he taught me to deal with my family.

Cin Posted November 7, 2011 Report Share Posted November 7, 2011 Me and my dad didn't use to get on as well as we do now, he's calmed alot since we got our dog. My mum I'd feel guilty if we had an argument, happened once apologised as soon as I got home from school. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bahamut - Envoy of the End Posted November 7, 2011 Report Share Posted November 7, 2011 [quote name='Icyblue' timestamp='1320640143' post='5623394'] Me and my dad won't speak to each other AT ALL. But there is a very good reason for this. It's gotten to the point where "father" is a title, not a right. Me and my mom are fairly close, used to be much worst but it's getting better. Me and my stepfather... well I want him to be slain like the beast he is. Me and my stepmom, we always got along. May she rest in peace. Me and my second stepdad, we could talk stories for hours about nothing haha. I absolutely miss him. Me and my mentor. Great, but he moved out of state and has a full time job. Celebrated his 1 year marriage anniversary a few weeks ago too. ... yea. [/quote] Owch josh, to think someones been through so much of that is just, well you know, hopefully its puts a lot of peoples relationships with parents 'they hate because they x,y,z stupid reason' in perspective. Thats not pointing at anyone in this thread specifically, know it applies to me and probably some over-reactive members. I've been a bit of a *insert your own expletive* towards both my mum and dad, having pretty much turned to mum and saying 'yeah I'm leaving to go college in Nottingham next week and have got myself sorted. Bye' without any warning or anything which was very poor of me as it upset her greatly. Dad I could list a million and one flaws about my dad and when I lived with him we rowed a bit, but again some of that was me being too hard on the guy. He is who he is, and looking past those flaws he is a good person. However it is still worth noting that having moved out of each person's respective houses, my relationship with each parent has improved tenfold. Four years on me and mum are really tight now, more than we've ever been, and things are patching up with Dad a bit and we're a lot more amicable now.

DARKPLANT RISING Posted November 7, 2011 Report Share Posted November 7, 2011 No Shard, even I wasn't going to point that out. OT: Mine go fine. Dad's almost always out because of work, but he's nice. Mom's nice too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greiga Posted November 7, 2011 Report Share Posted November 7, 2011 Parents are divorced. I get along pretty well with my Dad. Sometimes I wish my mom dead and sometimes I'll actually talk to her, it depends on my mood and on her latest act of stupidity. *insert whole mom-is-a-psycho speech here* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tentacruel Posted November 7, 2011 Report Share Posted November 7, 2011 It's fine to point out flaws with your parents and all, but they could probably name just as many flaws with you. On the topic of being arrogant and thinking they're always right as parents sometimes do, that also describes almost every member on this freaking site. As for me, I have no significant problems with either of my parents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ragnarok1945 Posted November 7, 2011 Report Share Posted November 7, 2011 [quote name='Icyblue' timestamp='1320651261' post='5623512'] Fickle things culturally based parents are. Some may not even show any form of love, care or beyond the basic needs to show acknowledgement. But that doesn't mean they don't care at all. As you get older (around your early to mid 30's) you'll see. Parent's like that, would have left you on the streets if they were as bad as you always seem to claim. But they didn't did they? According to your story here, they pretty much forced success onto you. THAT would be their appreciation. [/quote] Again, I'd say speak for yourself. Tell me, do your parents go around saying "You're an accident"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bull3tM0nk3y Posted November 7, 2011 Report Share Posted November 7, 2011 My dad is mostly with doing what I want to do. My mom always says I'm lazy, a dumb@ss, and ungrateful. I'm the opposite of everything she says. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lt. Colonel Remo Posted November 7, 2011 Report Share Posted November 7, 2011 Dad: Deceased =/ Mother: She's fine as long as I get all A's and don't curse like a sailor.

Tourmaline Posted November 8, 2011 Report Share Posted November 8, 2011 Onto the topic... Anybody that really knows me would know I'm not close nor fond of my mother at all. They'd know how little I care for my mother, if they knew me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
