I’m not the black sheep in my family, but with my in-laws. Now, after 16 years, my father-in-law feels comfortable enough to tease me.
I don’t like the family gatherings with my in-laws when my brother-in-law is there. He’s obnoxious – and I’m being nice. But otherwise, they’re very nice people; I just don’t fit in with them.
To all of you for whom Christmas gatherings are a chore, big hugs! Family can be really though, sometimes. So yup, I’ll adopt everyone here.
Big hugs and kisses to everyone!

Pttttp!!! I’ll get you yet! 😈
I have always felt like a black sheep. I am very quite in person, so when my family gets together then I just usually sit and watch people. My bf doesn’t like to go with me because he thinks that since people aren’t talking to us then it is being rude. I am use to it as well, but lately because it bothers him then it is start to bother me.
I always think I’m a black sheep then realize my close family is either a) Just like me or b) I’m just little more crazy, so I realize I’m not but I still think I am xD

Boxing day??? So do you get together and bet the crap out of eachother?? 😆
I thought you stuffed other people into boxes. Ah great I’ve been going about this the wrong way for years now…I’ll beat the crap out of them and then put them in a box, so tradition will be upheld.
I would help but I am just to tired to get out of bed today~

haha, ditto, I be the shy one who doesn’t speak my mind, kinda hard to be the only one who hasn’t got blond hair, blue eyes, not slim nor slender, doesn’t get straight A’s, not blunt, not social, tounge gets in my way when I try to speak, and that is how I am different from my siblings, I never felt like I belonged anywhere, not even here, even if this is a family

wow do I know that feeling,

best of both worlds!!Haha, I didn’t feel like a black sheep of the family until yesterday at my dad’s side of Christmas. My brothers and sisters and nieces and nephews are all fine with me, but for some reason my step mom kept on acting like she had a stick stuck up her butt. She wouldn’t even make eye contact with me, so I got the hint that she didn’t want to say hi. I tried to ask her questions and what-knot, but she just gave me an answer and shuffled away. I asked one of my sisters about it (which she has only been living with them for a little while now), and she said that our step mom was acting that way because she didn’t want to be there, and her and my dad complain about me and are mad at me.
From what I understood, they are holding grudges from years ago in which I told my dad that he wasn’t my real dad (which he isn’t, but I was angry and young). My sister didn’t understand that because she had told him that MANY times without saying she was sorry, and he doesn’t seem to hold any grudges against her.
Also, I guess my step mom (Anita) is mad about an email I had sent. It was one of those survey things, and one of the questions asked “who do you think won’t send it back to you”. I put the truth-I put “dad and Anita because I think they’re mad at me.” I sent that in my own little subtle way of hoping they would respond “why do you think we’re mad at you, we’re not…blah, blah, blah,” but instead I received a nasty email from Anita’s mom saying how rude and unnecessary that was. I tried to explain myself in my response, but she responded saying that she wasn’t even going to read it. Oh, and I guess I wrote something about them in my myspace blog once because I was angry. I even used different names to try to keep them anonymous, but I soon got a nasty email about that too. If I remember right, Anita had told me that the Devil was using me to split up the family. Haha-don’t make me fall on the floor laughing-oops, I mean convulsing due to a demon possession in me.
SO…they are mad at me over that because I didn’t apologize. To tell you the truth-I had just forgotten about it. It’s not like I was brooding over these things for years. Yikes.Sorry this is so long, but I figure that if they want to hold these grudges and act like petty children about it, then that is their problem. They have done FAR WORSE THINGS to me without apologizing, and I have forgiven and forgotten, and I have moved on.
Plus, that is apart of being a family. You might make each other mad, but in the long run it shouldn’t matter because things should improve, and you love each other, right? But if they don’t see it that way, I will leave it up to them to get over it, and until then I will move on.At the end of the day, family is family. We may bicker and argue but if one of us is hurting, we forgive and forget. I’m really sorry yours isn’t like that Eagle Feather. Sometimes you just have to let go.
And, I would love to be able to pummel some of my relatives, DM.

Thanks, I completely agree with you!
My mom’s side of the family is that way-where we forgive and forget, and we love eachother unconditionally! 😀 At least I have one good side!Jasmine wrote:At the end of the day, family is family.
