Your wacky Family!

[Shiny]

All of you have things about your family. You have those odd traditions which don't happen to you, and those funny holiday stories. Or you have those moments when you find a "bit more" about your sister, and the times you don't want to remember.

 

 

 

I have them heaps. Like when we were going on holiday up north and we were joking the whole car-ride on things like "Wouldn't it be funny if we drove up one day early" and such. It turns out we did. Then we have the FFO's....There GREAT fun. You know when your forced to go somewhere you don't want. Forced family outing.

 

 

 

Well lets just hear about all the funny stories which arise with our family.

 

 

 

Try to keep this content relatively clean as well.

[dsavi]

My sister loves cows, philosophy and will respond immediately if the word "cookie/s" is uttered within 10 meters. She just turned 19.

 

 

 

I, of course, am addicted to TIF. That's about as far as our family weirdness goes.

Could have been a good thread until I found that.

[dsavi]

From what I hear the only thread with a [mature content] tag will be the Ever caught them thread. The mods really aren't in favor of making too many.

 

 

 

Yeah exactly... Reminds me of that 4chan material questionnaire: What would you get your sister for your birthday? a) Jewlery (Or whatever) [...] f) Pregnant.

[Lenin64]

And wtf is wrong with you if you have mature content about your family?! WTF.

[Shiny]

Notice how i said RELATIVELY clean :lol:

 

 

 

Some stuff's alright though. Like when you wake up to the sound of thumping then a big bang. That's when my parents "accidentally" broke the bed.

[Echofish]

My dad likes to shop. Oh my god... He always says, "We can sell this for more!" but it'd end up in a box somewhere in our shed. Anything that's cheap goes. We have épéés, 2 full sets of golf clubs, cricket bats, tools, cutlery, paintings, scrap metal, vases, CDs... and other crap that we don't even need (unless of course, there's a zombie invasion around that requires cricket bats and vinyl records). Heck, he even managed to get us a working piano for free!

 

 

 

 

 

He's pretty much an impulse buyer. Good haggling skills though, if only I inherited that -.-

[Lenticular_J]

(unless of course, there's a zombie invasion around that requires cricket bats and vinyl records).

 

I see what you did there.

 

 

 

We're actually a relatively normal family. On occasion we suit up into our Megazord and fight crime, but that's about it.

(unless of course, there's a zombie invasion around that requires cricket bats and vinyl records).

 

 

 

 

 

Impressive. It actually took me a couple of seconds to catch that. :lol: You wouldn't happen to have an old Winchester, would you? ;) Unless if it's in the pub, of course.

[baalboy5]

Sister learning how to examine dead bodies.

 

Older brother(Im the youngest), smokes weed and lives in our basement and works for comcast.

 

Dad a banker who questions our abilities in every moment he has, (ex. Do you know how to wash the dishes?(very annoying)

 

Mother a ebay nut, loves to read, we have 5 binds of BOOKS in our basement(along with our hd tv that my bro plays)

 

My black cat plays fetch

 

My brown cat is psycho

 

My dog afried of our cats.

 

 

 

And me....Well I have 1 eye, snappy talker, and the C-c-combo breaker in our family.

[dragoonson]

Don't really know what to say about dad lol.He's just really impatient :lol:

 

And mom's quite the opposite,she takes her time lots.

 

Eldest sister...well,currently pregnant,expecting soon,its been I think 8-9 months

 

Older brother and older sister,they ignore me.They only talk to me to poke fun,so for the most part I ignore them too

 

Me!I just suck.Like Baalboy I'm essentially using one eye.Asthma gives me probably half capacity on each lung,so I'm using 1 lung too...I'd say I'm a pyromaniac,but that'll scare you away lol

[Mischlings]

On my mom's side of the family, I had an uncle who literally ran away to join the circus. While there, he was repairing the brakes on one of the trucks when someone drove off - while he was still under the truck.

 

 

 

One of my uncles has had ~4-5 houses burn down.

 

 

 

Another uncle on that side was a gambling addict, especially when it came to the lottery. He kept track of every single Daily 3 and 4 number from the mid-'70s until he died in the mid-'90s.

 

 

 

I also have an an uncle who shot a hole in the roof while cleaning a gun. Not sure if he's one of the ones mentioned above, though.

 

 

 

My grandfather on that side was mistaken for Bigfoot on multiple occasions. He was also a chain smoker, lighting one cigarette off the stove and lighting one off the last for the rest of the day. He was also a heavy drinker, once being arrested for driving drunk while borrowing my mom's car.

 

 

 

On the other side of my family, my dad grew up with a caboose in his backyard. My grandfather on that side worked on the railroad and just brought it home one day. He would also set off explosives which they used on the railroad in their backyard. With a sledgehammer.

 

 

 

Every family member on that side of my family has the strangest sense of humor I've ever known. I've inherited the same.

 

 

 

This doesn't even touch on the things that I do. I guess insanity is relative, just look at my relatives.

[IGoddessI]

Kyle - He's 18 and pretty much tells me everything. There isn't much I don't know about him.

 

 

 

Danial - He's 20 and is very secretive. Nobody in my family knows much about him, he doesn't open up. He's never had a girlfriend, he can sometimes be extremely arrogant and a little pig headed. He does see himself as superior to people around him and sometimes needs a reality check. He is often selfish, thinks of his own needs before others on most occasions. He once made me walk in a hail storm at 9pm at night because I didn't have $5 to pay him for petrol, the day after somebody was raped at that train station. A smaller example, dad gave us money to order pizzas so he ordered everything he ate and nothing that anybody else ate. On the plus side, despite some of his negative traits he has a soft heart. I was offended by a joke he made about not wanting to live here because of the baby and he cried because he felt bad. Ever since I was about 3-4 months pregnant he has been a good brother to me. He asks if I need things being brought home, drives extra carefully, asks me if I want to go with him to get some dinner. He's a weird one.. you never know what mood he's in and we wouldn't know if he had a girlfriend anyway because he doesn't like anybody to know about his life. It's been a struggle for me to mend the relationship between us because he has always been a jerk to me, despite how much I've done for him. He was partially deaf from the age of 5 and I think he forgets all the times I took the time to teach him sign language, took him to see the policemen and fire fighters because he could hear loud sirens, bashed up all his bullies, taught him how to read and pronounce words with him every night until he fixed his stuttering.

 

 

 

My mum - My mum was absent from my life for some of the most critical parts, never got to hear "I love you" or do anything special with her. There was a lot of things I'll never speak about on here. At one point I refused to call her my mother. It's only been the last year I've forgiven her and she is shaping up to be the best mum she could ever be. I think she is going to make the greatest grandma, she is obsessed with my little boy and he's not even born yet. I'm glad the heart of stone melted in to a heart of gold.

 

 

 

My dad - My hero in life. He pretty much shaped most of my personality and taught me to stick up for myself. Taught me a fantastic work ethic, encouraged me in school, supported whatever I want to do in life. I learned to work with him as a team rather than head butting each other with our stubbornness.

[Orpheus]

I'm not going to start making a list, my whole family is messed up beyond recognition. My mom's side of the family is crooked, two uncles are in jail for murder, one cousin is pregnant, a few more are in jail, and there aren't but maybe one or two who actually have sense, and are in college/have a job. My dad's side generally isn't all that bad. My mom isn't mean, but my dad... there's days I wish he would just... disappear. I'm probably one of the few that still has any sense.

[Laura]

My mom looks like she's raided my wardrobe (eg. Heather Mills in miniskirts, saran wrap, etc). My dad works out like 3 hours a day, and punched the first guy I brought home-not even as a date-because he was black. My youngest brother is learning to read, read one of my friend's IM's, saw that we were erm, talking about bodies, whipped cream, and waffles. He said: "Since wh...when...did you became a "faperplate?"" I was like :shock: :o :ohnoes: Oh, and my other younger brother is a porn addict.

[Shiny]

Oh, and my other younger brother is a porn addict.

 

 

 

My big bro used to be. To the point where he had up on his walls and you heard odd sounds at night.

 

 

 

JUst remembered some more of mine. My cat has bi-polar. She comes and sits on the computer and you stroke her, she purrs, then growls, then purr-growls. Kinda odd. She also sleeps on the modem. I think that's why I lag so much *facepalm*

 

 

 

Oh, and my sister. She checks my txts. One was like "So your gonna birthday [bleep]?" She read it and....um...well...She was extra alert that night.

wow, talked about owned, anyways, I swear most of my family has mental issues, eg; youngest sister seems to have multiple personalities, I swear she has ADD, my other sister seems to have a fear of being socially challenged, and they both locked themselves in their room when mum tried to talk about homeschooling, I am highly aggrivated, and I swear my mum has OCD

Could have been a good thread until I found that.

 

If inappropriate content is your only source of enjoyment, then I think you may have a problem :P

 

 

 

Mom: She is a huge shopper, gossiper, and society girl. She cares way too much about what people think about her and her family and she is always interested in hearing about the latest scandal. The thing that bugs me about my mom is that she tries to make everything go her way, even with the simplest things. For example, I'll be in my room at 11am with my curtains closed and she'll come in and open them because "She likes it better." Or she'll insist that I get new shoes because she doesn't like mine. Or she won't let me eat certain foods because SHE doesn't like it.

 

 

 

Dad: My dad is a wine, car and watch collector. He loves technology and is always up-to-date with the latest "gizmo" (he calls them :P). He always makes really lame jokes but he's always sooo proud of himself for thinking of them.. it's actually kind of funny. He has a few signature phrases that everyone knows him by, such as: "Everything is negotiable" and "Life is about options." He always takes matters into his own hands, whether it's choosing my college, or booking reservations, or choosing the next vacation spot.

 

 

 

Older Sister: Not really much to say about her. She kind of takes after my mom in terms of the shopping, the gossiping, the society, the traveling, etc. But she is studious and serious like my dad.

 

 

 

Younger Sister: She's a little more like me, but she is beginning to change. We have always been the two silly people in the family, but she is starting to become a lot more serious.

[monkeyboo2]

Yeah there's too much noisy potential bed breaking in my house aswell.

[doomy]

Uhm...

 

 

 

Aside from the everyday conversation between my little borther (he's 11) and my dad, pretty normal.

 

 

 

The convo goes:

 

 

 

bro: "Hi wedge bring it on"

 

Dad: "ok [bleep] boy"

 

and like that for a while and my dad gives my little brother a wedgie and it starts again, all the time! (and its illegal for him to give my brother a wedgie as well)

 

 

 

And our dog and one of our cats still thing that you can take a shortcut through things if you run into the wall....

[Mel_Kazul]

 

 

 

Dad:He has a few signature phrases that everyone knows him by, such as: "Everything is negotiable" and "Life is about options."

 

 

 

My Dad also has some well known quotes in our family such as : "Make sure you can run faster scared than they can angry" and "always make sure there is a clear path between you and the nearest door with a lock."

 

Also according to him the number 1 house rule is "Don't mess with the mama because if the mama ain't happy nobody's happy". I love my dad because he's so silly and has gotten into more embarrassing situations than anyone I know. I'll try to post some later.

[champion]

We have épéés, 2 full sets of golf clubs, cricket bats, tools, cutlery, paintings, scrap metal, vases, CDs... and other crap that we don't even need (unless of course, there's a zombie invasion around that requires cricket bats and vinyl records). Heck, he even managed to get us a working piano for free!

 

 

 

 

 

He's pretty much an impulse buyer. Good haggling skills though, if only I inherited that -.-

 

 

 

Sounds like my dad. He goes to thrift stores to buy stuff and sells it on eBay . I think out of this hobby (which he has practiced for about 2 years) he has gained around $150 and a way to annoy my mom.

 

 

 

My uncle (dad's brother) is a yoga freak. He came to visit our house once and brought all his equipment. He also has a website for selling yoga supplies... I think that's going quite well, which surprises me.

 

 

 

My mom is normal. Her mood changes all the time though. One day I'll say a joke and she'll find it funny. I'll say the same joke a week later and she'll get mad at me and say 'that's very offensive!' or something.

 

 

 

My grandpa on my dad's side is nice. He's really smart but his hearing is awful. He gives me a lot of unneeded presents :P.

 

 

 

That's some of my family.

[RichieMcD]

This is essientially my family.

 

 

 

Dad: Hard working, very well respect lawyer earning over half a million a year, he came from poverty to this so he expects much of me as well. Absolute nut about drugs and underage drinking.

 

 

 

Mom: Essentially the same as my dad, lawyer, came from poverty etc, allows me to drink / smoke but wont let my dad know cus he'll shout at her, then me, then I'll shout at him and end up hitting him.

 

 

 

My sister: Culturally confused 13 year old I think, mix of a softcore rocker / preppy. Spends all day in the house relaxing with friends.

 

 

 

Me: your standard rebellious teenager, wearing clothes my parents hate and slowly smoking / drinking my way towards various diseases. Coming home when I feel like it and what not. My dad is yet to realise I'm not going to achieve anything big in life and am quite happy with that. He still thinks I'm getting straight A's in school and can make the school Rugby team when I'm scraping B's and can't run 100 meters without stopping for a break. [bleep] the day when my report card comes out.

[Dizzle229]

Smoking and drinking? Not standard teenager.

[RichieMcD]

Smoking and drinking? Not standard teenager.

 

 

 

Where I am it is anyway. It's pretty much like that all over Ireland and the UK.
