ITT We Talk About Our Dysfunctional Families

Re: ITT We Talk About Our Dysfunctional Families

It's occurred to me that people could be making this stuff up. It's also occurred to me that people could have really ****ed up families.

Re: ITT We Talk About Our Dysfunctional Families

My mom and my sister often get into arguments. She doesn't understand why people don't respect her, but the reason is she doesn't make sense alot of the time. For example, there was this one time both my sister and I were using the computers for homework. My mom asks my sister if she can use the computer to finish something for work, and my sister says no, what she's doing is important. Then she comes to me and asks if she can use the computer I'm on. I tell her no, I'm doing homework, it won't take long to finish, you'll just have to wait your turn. She then leaves for awhile, but comes back later yelling at me. She starts spewing all this crap about "Well I pay the bills, I put food on the table, blah blah blah, I need to get this done so you should let me on NOW". Yea, what's your point? It's totally irrelevant to the issue at hand. I was here before you, it's my turn to finish my work, you can have it when I'm done. I was being perfectly fair with her, and she WOULD have had plenty of time to finish her work after I was done. She was stubborn though, and kept yelling at me until she got her way and I couldn't take it anymore. I let her on. My sister was yelling at my mom too for most of the time.

My dad is divorced from my mom. I saw him on Christmas and the last time I saw him before that was more than 2 years ago. For some reason I've never felt like I really wanted to spend time with him since the divorce. He's a good guy deep down, but he never goes above what needs to be done and has not once called me at our house in more than 2 years or so.

My sister (19) is a great person. I look up to her, and want to be where she is someday. She's in college, and took many advanced classes in high school that helped with college payments. She's always nice to me, and helps me whenever I need it.

My brother (9) has ADD. He's extremely shy and has trouble talking to people in school. His grades reflect his performance greatly. He struggles in school, and is going to be put into a special class I believe. My sister came up with the idea of having him write a story about his day every day, about something that happened or just a story in general, since he has trouble putting his thoughts into words, and she helps him edit it and show him how different forms of punctuation work.

I'm I guess what you could call a hermit. I don't get out much, and like to stay at home and play games on weekend nights. I'm not shy, but I'd rather just stay to myself rather than meet new people. I have great respect for my sister, and hope to see my brother succesful.

My family is pretty good I'd say.

Re: ITT We Talk About Our Dysfunctional Families

I don't want to write a long shpiel like some of you did; I just don't have the energy. So here we go.

My mom is pretty much crazy. She spies on the neighbours. Her entire life is pretty much devoted to making sure other people think well of her. She seems to like our cats more than the family. When I was young, she told me she didn't love me. I shrugged, not knowing what to say.

Since my mom is so crazy, my dad has the responsibility of actually being, you know, a good father, and he did well for the most part.... but he couldn't handle doing "the talk" and as a result he never did it. We learned everything about sex from school and friends. When I was little, I was reading a book where a girl gets her period. I asked my dad what a period was, and he simply said "you'll find out when you're older". I did find out, but it caused me a lot of anguish and grief because I didn't know what was happening, thought I was dying, etc, until I went to my mom, crying, and told her I was bleeding down there and that something was wrong. She didn't explain nuts. She simply gave me a pad and told me how to use it, then went back to watching TV.

Uh yeah and she's deaf.

But whatever.

My family isn't very dysfunctional... just asian.

Re: ITT We Talk About Our Dysfunctional Families

Ditto.

Re: ITT We Talk About Our Dysfunctional Families

Asians are always dysfunctional. XD

Re: ITT We Talk About Our Dysfunctional Families

Must be our chopsticks. Human nature are influenced greatly by their eating utensils.

Re: ITT We Talk About Our Dysfunctional Families

Ditto.

My family isn't all that bad.

My stepsister liked to torture those weaker than her... she'd tie the cat to the ceiling fan / put it in the microwave. When I came down with something (basically, retardedly high temp (105ish), was delirious, etc), she replaced my medicine with strawberry milk hoping I'd die. She's into witchcraft now, abandoned her mentally retarded baby with her ex (who luckily got four million from insurance, and not any went to her). She'll guilt trip her mom and (my step) brother every chance she gets. The former deserves it, as she's a royal bitch that wringed every penny she could from my stepdad; the latter, on the other hand, didn't. He just got stuck in a bad situation.

My stepbrother has come a long way. His mom would basically play the psychological games with him if he ever showed any positive feeling towards his stepmom (my mom)... you know the deal. Basically it turned him into a liar since kindergarden, later a thief, and he (irrensponsibly) did a lot of drugs and feel into some bad crowds. He also ate dog **** once. Though, he's doing a lot better now. Married, job, new house, etc.

Too lazy to finish the rest, went afk for an hour and come back to see a semi-complete story... bah. Will post more later, lol.

Re: ITT We Talk About Our Dysfunctional Families

What to say, hmmm. Compared to some of the stories here, I would say that I have had near perfect life and family.
