i have vaguely annoying family members, but none that want to kill or maim any of us. they more annoy my parents than they do me. i'm lucky in that i rarely ever deal with them directly.

My SIL emotionally abuses my nephew.

That is seriously uncool and it breaks my heart that he has to go through that. My mom was really good at that with my sister and I and I will always remember it. It never leaves you. The only thing you can do is freak out on your sister in law and/or make sure to let that boy know that you love him no matter what. Gah... what is wrong with people?

He's only 11 months old. It sickens me. Social services have threatened to take him away from her, and she's been better since then. My brother's in the middle of a severe breakdown so he's pretty much useless. She doesn't listen to anyone. She is proper mental, to be honest.

I hope she gets help, I really do.

That just makes me mad.
He's still a baby! How can you even be mean to something that innocent?! :(

I have a great Uncle, 81 years old, and there is no censor on his mouth. It's more hilarious than annoying though. He's also losing his hearing, and so he speaks VERY loudly. He also had this very grumpy dog that he couldn't leave at the house, so he would bring it and leave it in the car and take it out food and whatnot. But anywho, one Thanksgiving, some of us had gotten our food and sat down already, including my uncle, when my dad walks into the dining room to sit down and eat. And very loudly, my uncle says, "Oh, if I knew we were letting dogs at the table, I would have brought in Haddie Mae."

None of us laughed, but we were all dying on the inside.

My dad is kind of a jerk, btw. My uncle does not think highly of him (obviously).

oh god.
Can I just borrow your great uncle for a few weeks? ;D

lol damn. he sounds like great entertainment :D
