Lol thats what my husband says I am. We went to my side of the families get together tonight and of course no one really talks to us and we just sit in the corner. I’m used to this so it doesn’t bother me but for some reason it really gets to my husband. When everyone hands out presents I only get one from my mom and dad and my one aunt. All the other cousins get stuff from everyone including my grandparents. Again I’m used to it and it doesn’t bother me but my husband gets so mad about it. He says its not right and they all treat me bad. I don’t really care since all I wanted was the food but man does it get him rilled up.
Sheesh Laurie, I wouldn’t even bother if everyone just ignores you like that. I’d ask Mom and Dad to get together with you later for gift giving, so you can just avoid the whole thing. What the heck is everyone’s issue anyway, why do they treat you so poorly?

When I got married they all treated me different, like I no longer belonged. They didn’t like that I got married at 19 and they didn’t like my husband 1. because he has a terminal illness and 2. because he speaks his mind and doesn’t sugar coat things. I still go because it doesn’t bother me if they want to talk to me or not. I just want to eat all the good food and it gives me a reason not to cook 😉 For some reason it just bothers the hell out of my husband. I had some of my aunts who are not blood related talk to me and I had to dodge my mom who kept trying to touch my belly but I still had a good time.

Your family is very weird, I think you should just join ours, not that we aren’t a bit odd ourselves, but we’d always treat you well. And we are also guilty of speaking our minds, so you’d both fit in great here.

I agree. You can come join my family too. My mom is blunt and speaks her mind, but she would never ignore you. My brother is pretty nice too, and my sister-in-law is great. We’re a small family, but we’re close. 😀
I suggest that, we the forum, formally adopt Laurie, Danny and baby as family, and she can let her blood relations go jump in an icy cold lake somewhere.
I have spoken! *gavel sounds*

My family is like yours purpledoggy, but not quite so bad. I am definately the black sheep. I don’t have a significant other for it to piss off. My friends though do swoop in and rescue me on occasion! 😀
Oh PD, if your the black sheep then I’m a whole herd!! my family is crazy, not my immediate mom dad and brother, but Gram and all the aunts and uncles….I’ve been told since I was 3 that I ruined everyone’s lives.. (I’m the oldest grandchild) My Gram actually said to me a couple weeks ago, right after the wedding that I wasn’t part of the family anymore. So, I’m going to Christmas eve dinner, but I’m bringing my own wine, and if she starts with me, I;m leaving. I;m only going because i wan’t to see my cousin from california…otherwise, after everything they have put me through, I swear I’m never going back there again. Glad to know I;m not the only black sheep!!!
Yay for black sheep lol! Its funny because I fit in on my dads side of the family but since my grandmother died they don’t get together anymore. I think they are the only normal people I’ve had in my life. Tonight I have to go to my mother-in-laws (oh what fun). Last year was a total Jerry Springer christmas and I swore I would never go back. His step father got mad and started punching holes in the wall then his sister wigged out and started yelling at everyone storming out of the house. She left her 3 year old daughter crying wanting to know where mommy was. I told my husband I was never going back but then we got pregnant and he says we can’t keep the baby from them. I told him if its another Jerry Springer christmas I’m never going back. Oh and you guys might as well be my family I tell you more then I tell anyone lol. That and you guys have been there for me more then any of my family with all that has been going on in my life.
Ha! Definately a black sheep here! My mother’s side of my family totally disowned me and my dad’s side barely knows me….then my mother in law thinks I’m not good enough for her son, although we’re having our 8th wedding anniversary this month and have been together 10 years…It’s not often a hoodlum runaway ends up with the valedictorian….I do however have ex-step family who loves me dearly, plus Chris’s grandma is awesome. Family can be an odd puzzle sometiimes. 🙄
Oh congrats on the 8th wedding anniversary! We celebrate our 10th in September. I know neither side of the family expected us to last as long as we have. I want to do a hand fasting ceremony for our anniversary but I have to look up all the info about it. I never planned my first wedding (I just let his mom do it all). I didn’t care how I got married I just wanted to get married. In the end I wish we would have just gone to the court house and had it done that way. My family didn’t really participate in the whole wedding and it wasn’t until a few years later I found out that it was there choice not to participate. All those years I just thought it was his mom and family being pushy and not letting my family do anything.
