Who's that ONE person.....

My creepy cousin who always needs to tell me a secret...with his arm around me...and his nose pressed up against my ear....:sick:

Euuuwwww!

He is adopted but still...ew. My dad has had to tell him several times to get away from me. LOL

I know I should keep my mouth shut, but do you realize how offensive that sounds? That because he is adopted there should be different rules? I feel like you just slapped my face and told me I was not in the same league as the rest of my family b/c my mom didn't drop me out of her body.

I think the reference was to distinguish that it wasn't like a biological (blood relative) pushing up on her... not that there is anything wrong w/ adoption...

That is exactly what offended me. That blood relation means its worse. However I see where Mallory actually clarified and I think she knows what I meant. It's the cousin that thinks there are no boundaries. Sorry, but quite a hot button subject for me.

I understand where you are coming from but that fact that she is creeped out by someone she considers her cousin stepping over the line should be a good thing because it means to her whether it is her blood cousin or not she still looks at him like her family hence the creepiness of it hehe.

Everyone, because I can sense their jealousy of my weight loss.

I'm lucky enough to have a couple.
My mom. Here's a good example. We went over to her house a few weeks ago. She asked if I was still on my "diet", and wanted to know where we should order food from. I told her that I was still watching what I ate, and anyplace that I can order a chicken sandwich and a salad would be great. She answers back... "Okay, we'll order Browns Chicken, then". For those that don't know, there is NOTHING healthy at Brown's Chicken. Their chicken oozes with grease.

Then there's my sister. She has always been my best friend. But she HATES HATES HATES children. So now that I have a son, our relationship has completely changed. She tries, and I know she does, but it's definitely awkward when we see each other.

We had my In-Law's Thanksgiving yesterday (Sunday), and I had a total blast. They made healthy food for me. We played games. The kids played. Everyone was in great spirits. And now I'm actually dreading Thanksgiving with my own family.

I really don't believe that's what she was saying. Just that it's not like inbreeding or anything. My kids are adopted and I wasn't the least bit offended. But then I don't go around looking for a reason to be offended, like so many of the people on this site. My kids are my kids, regardless of who hatched them. My grandchildren are no less mine than their paternal grandmother's although she's ignorant enough to insist that they are because they aren't related "by blood". So i know there are people who are ignorant enough to think that way, but I don't think this poster is one of them.

There is no way to adequately explain how or why it would bother me so I won't try.

I apologized to Mallory for calling her out in public. I also apologize for hijacking the thread. I'm sure now its ME that everyone is glad they Sony have to see.this holiday.

Carry on. ;-)

ONE person? More than that, unfortunately.



My brother's girlfriend -- I have never disliked someone more than this B*tch. She's a cheater, a liar, and is the most fake person I have ever encountered in my entire life. We're all just praying he sees her true colors and kicks her to the curb. Actually, I don't have to see her for Thanksgiving because she is requested elsewhere. If she was going to my family's dinner, I would have bailed and went to the football game instead.

My stepbrother's wife on my Dad's side (I think they've separated?? YAY!) -- Very annoying, no one likes her. She also dresses like a tramp.

My stepbrother's wife on my Mom's side -- She talks "baby talk" to everyone.. I really want to hand her a rattle and say, "I'm actually a well-educated grown woman, thank you." :P

I get how you felt. It made me feel the same way. I know nobody meant anything by it, but it still made me feel strange.

My one person would have to be my mother. She makes a lot of passive-aggressive comments to everyone, and seems to take pleasure in the failure/misfortune of others. It's sad.

I used to have a hard time with my in-laws because they really didn't like me AT ALL.
Apparently, however, all I had to do to change that was get thin.
Now they think I'm fantastic and have magically forgotten everything they used to despise about me.
It's amazing how much aesthetics matter to some people.

Wow...are you married to my ex-husband? They hated me because I wasn't skinny. Coming from the step-dad who was at least 300 lbs. But anyhow....

The relatives I hate seeing are pretty much all of my dad's family. They get insanely drunk, and then either fight or....fight. The last time I saw them I got cornered by my aunt, who wanted to know why I didn't like her and why I wouldn't let her hold my baby (who was 7 days old at the time). Gee...no clue.

Then there's my mom's nephew (my cousin), who has 3 kids, with a 4th on the way, and refuses to work. His girlfriend, who is 8 months pregnant, is the only one working, and my cousin insists she needs to hire a babysitter because he's too busy to watch his kids. And then he's not sure if he wants to continue their relationship because "she's become such a b**ch". Dude, if I was 8 months pregnant and the only one working to support a family of soon to be 6, you better believe I'm going to be cranky. I think she needs to kick him in the boy parts (not man parts, he is obvioulsy not a man).

Ok, vent over.
