I hate family get togethers

[backbreaker]

like seriously, we have weeded out all of my wife's friends to the point where we finally have a few we both mesh well with. but family is a different story. guess what, i don't give a **** about pretty much anything you say. i really don't. pretty much every family get together in my famnily is as folows

1. my mom is going to get drunk off 3 wine coolers then start yelling and trying to dance and a one legged ray charles on coke has better cordnation than my mom

2. my 26 year old cousin is going to tell everyone she is pregnant and bring her football team errr 4 kids with her and tear up my ****ing house

3. someone is going to force me to play old 1980's music


4. my uncle, who prides himself is going to come over my ****ing house and burn up the entire ****ing grill trying to prove he can cook and drink jim beam at the same time

5. someone is going to get drunk enough to ask me why i am married to a white woman. every. freaking. year.

6. half my family, my mom's side, stays oakland so when my mom comes to town they come down to LA, and everyone comes and they are always like "you remember jerry your aunties sisters cousins newphew" and i'm like who the **** is this dude then everyone gets offended that i don't remember some dude that i saw one time when i was 8 years old


lol just leave. lol all of you. please. now. i cannot wait until 11pm tonight.

my family is nothing like me my family is too loud. i'm not a loud person in real life.

I wish I could see my family more, BB.

I get to see them once a year for 5 or 6 days, if I'm lucky.
It might be annoying now, but you might miss all of that one day. I'd take "bad" family interaction over "no" famiy interaction any day.

i used to think like this. i ended up moving across the country to get away from them, literally. that is the number 1 reason i moved to California.

one of the things i had to accept is that you know what, sometimes you have to love from a distance. It's not htat i don't love my mother, she's my mother. but she can't be an everyday part of my life. she's like a oneitis who just sucks the life out of everything she touches. My son is the sole reason I keep in contact with them now beucase it's not fair to him IMHO with his other grand parents being on the other side of the pond. so I suck it up for a few days a year but if not for him i would not lose a wink of sleep if i never saw any of them again.

my mom, realizing that she is at the **** or get off the pot stage with me in my life, is starting to get better. but she drinks more than she ever has now (beucase she's going to be 49 next month and has ran off every man in her life and is realizing that she could very well die single) and she can't hold her liquor so no she's just annoying as ****.

he's not invited.

i get along with my dad's side of the family much better all expect my dad him and i aren't on speaking terms. so this is all my mom's side of the family and that's the HOOD side of the family all expect momma, my dad has some hood on that side too but it's nothing like my mom's side, and it's all girls so it's a bunch of skank ass cousins running around , everyone is drunk, damn near about to fight over a game of spades yesterday lol, someone done called my great aunt a ***** and so now i have to diffuse that, another cousin done stole my grandma's car and she's trying to guilt me into buying her a ****ing car lol, and this is the grand ma who let her crackhead boyfriend chase me out of her house and made me live i my car 10 years ago.

it wouldn't be so bad if i could just get my mom out here or even just my mom and my grandmom but they don't' live out here and every time they come out here they have to see the rest of the family that is out here so i can't have one here without the other and it gets old. i can deal with my mom and my grandmom one on one. but you get the rest of the fam out and it's a wrap.

my wife is still baffled that this family raised me lol.

the only good part of the entire day is that when everyone left, which was thankfully earlier than i thought it would be, i had bought about 100 dollars worth of fireworks and i took my son out back and my wife and i popped fire crackers with him for the first time (he's 5). he had the time of his life lol. that was pretty ****ing cool.

that's all i wanted to do all along anyway. sit back, maybe have 1-2 friends over or what not, watch a good doc on the military channel about the american revolution, eat a good meal, pop fire works with son and wife. i'm a simple man of simple pleasures

:trouble: :box: :rockon: my nigga backbreaker slaying that 10/10 trophy wife blonde white woman puzzay. :cheer:

But on a more serious note, if you live in Cali you and your wife must have money to blow.

YouTube or it didn't happen.

I know how it is... family can be a nightmare. These gatherings used to cause me great anxiety but I've learned to go with the flow a little better as I've gotten older. Glad you had fun with your kid and the fireworks.

That American Revolution doc was so slow-paced and tedious that they lost me after a while. I've been interested in learning more about our history but I thought the presentation was dry and painfully slow. It had to be for me to turn it of because I love watching anything to do with war strategy.

it was pretty slow. the history channel has one called america; the story of us that's much better but doesnt' focus on the american revolution as much.

I do okay. We don't really "blow money" though she's not all that materialistic and for the most part neither am i. but we have a pretty comfortable life style

Do you know the tomato paste can trick with a firecracker and a pan of water? I had a lot of fun with it as a kid, and I think your son might enjoy it as well.

Get a can of tomato paste, the tiny ones that are smaller than a can of soup. Open one end, remove contents, and then poke a hole in the middle of the other end that is just big enough to stick a firecracker in. Then place it in a pan with about an inch of water. Light it, and when the firecracker explodes, the can will shoot 20-30 feet straight up into the air. A kid can have an afternoon of fun with just one pack of firecrackers.

My family generally doesn't have any family gatherings, so it's not really an issue. Occasionally my parents will invite me and whoever I'm dating over for supper. Usually the girl ends up disliking visiting my parents and I don't blame her. They're generally not very nice people. Only one girl enjoyed interacting with my parents, and I ended up kicking her to the curb after she talked to my dad about getting more commitment in our relationship - like moving in, having kids, and getting married. The lesson learned is when my gf gets along well with my parents, it's a bad sign.

Then there's always the other side. Some gfs actually have parents that I can get along with, and some seem to exclude me from everything. I've been thinking about this a lot lately, and I think I'm going to start avoiding gatherings with the ones who treat me as an alien. I usually have to put on a fake personality and be nice, and usually it doesn't even fvcking help in the end anyway. If they're going to judge me early on, they won't change their minds any time down the road.

Most of my extended family is back in China. Meeting my mom's sister for the first time in my life a few weeks back, I came to this conclusion: family is a bigger d1ck measuring contest than facebook is

what the fwck else do families have to talk about other than med school this med school that so and so got married and lives in a nice big house with her husband now

whoop de fwckin do.

 

[backbreaker]

there is no **** measuring in my family. first of all there are no ****s lol i'm the only male on my mom's side of the family. secondly, i clearly won the **** measuring contest.

no my family get togethers are more like the beginning of the 2nd godfather. where everyone is asking me for ****.

like, they don't even ask me for moeny. they know better. my cousin asked me could her damn kids stay with me for the summer. basically so she can party without the responsbility of the kids she has 3 of them. beucase i have an extra bedroom and joe has a bunk bed. then my grandmom asked for a car lol. a ****ing car.

the funny thing is, my sister is a chip off the old block. she saved up her own damn money and bought like 80 dollars wroth fo fire works and she's 13. and you got grown ass people who can't get off their ass and work for money. family or not you can get the hell on somewhere

we were talking about that today. family will go in dry faster than anyone else if you let them.

Get a can of tomato paste, the tiny ones that are smaller than a can of soup.

i did not know that. will try that. **** we got some extra ones i might try that now lol.

my wife got mad at me beucase you know how we pop fireworks in the south, the uncorrect way. holding bottle rockets and throwing them and **** that's not setting a good example. and my son wants to do everything i do and she was getting mad because i am holding it to the last second and throwing it. regardless it was fun though. that's something i always wanted to do pop fire crackers with my son. and no little oh look at the sparkler bull**** lol real mother****ing firecrackers. though i did get him some sparkerlers beucase at 5 that's pretty much the only thing i'd let him light.

though i did let him light some roman candles though and hold them. that did it for him he was hyped up after that.

 

[TheSageproductRises]

guess that's the difference between blacks and asians lol

asian parents sit in a circle all night going on and fwcking on about how their kid won whatever damn piano contest and scored a 35 on the ACT and how they're at the top of their class and how they want to be a DOCTOR

then they all go home and scold their kids privately for not working hard enough


momma makes fun of me in front of the gf saying i can't speak chinese for sh1t and ridicules me for ever having tutored it to other kids

then gushes to her sister about how good i am at it, outright lying saying i make double what i actually make tutoring it

this is just family in general though. we haven't had a family get together since i was like 7
