There is no such thing as a normal family….Everyone is different… im afraid of the families that act like the Cleaver’s and Brady Bunch more then Families that act like The Bundy’s

No, in my family we’re all f***ed
no.. it takes a visit to my in-laws to realize my family is a lot more screwed up than i first realized. my husband has been very gracious about it though. poor guy.
yes and i am glad i stood home this year
And, didn’t you come to the conclusion you’re glad you live 300 miles away from the “mess”…lol Yes, it’s always good to head back home where things are more on the normal side of life. Now “home” isn’t so bad is it?! Takes a bit of “reality” to make us feel grateful after all..:)
Tell me about it mate, although I think they have corrupted me
I think its natural for everyone to find their family normal than their spouse’s..I find there is lot of love among members in my husband’s family than in mine… But they are illiterates and don’t feel any shame to exploit others to the core and are like parasites. But my family is definitely more well mannered and educated than his family.
There are times the holidays do not bring out the best in people. I have to admit this year wasn’t one of the best for me either. I had major surgery on Dec. 21st. home by the 22nd and having Christmas dinner at our house this year. Yes, my family had to be the pain in the butt I know and sometimes wonder why I deal with them. lol But, I got through and have peace and quite and can sit back and relax over the next eight weeks of recovery. Thank the lord it only comes once a year. lolololololol
actually, i know this and i need to only travel about 5 miles! =))
note: my in-laws r great, but i love them as a group in small doses. 1 on 1 i can handle easily.
like with the other family Q, jakie has my answer!!

This is an interesting question, and let me say, I’m happy for you, Eddie. For me, it only takes a 20 mile or 90 mile trip to visit close relatives to realize that my immediate family is a mess! This is all due to my husband’s abusive personality and how it has affected the rest of us. The only thing I can say is that I’ve heard stories these past few months of other families who are just as messed up as we are, or sometimes even worse, because the kids don’t even have one sane parent to help them out. These are typically families in which there is only one parent (the other is deceased or absent) messing up their kids’ lives. Hope you had a nice Christmas!
