So....BAD BAD BAD BAD BAD.

Thanks all. We'll get thru this. I'm just trying to minimize the stress along the way. My wife was born in the wrong family. She's always been like Cinderella.
I got detention for loitering once. My punishment for hanging around the school after class by myself was... hanging around the school after class by myself.Welcome to the System. Creating bricks for the Wall since 1952.Sent sick kid to school without realizing it and he acted out and got two days suspension. Ugh. And now he is feverish and cuddly and demanding extra attention.sorry to hear that
you can get suspended from school for some days in america?
for not behaving? um, ain't that extremly contra-productive?I always thought the classic WTF policy was to give out a day or two suspension for skipping school.
"Wait! Let me get this straight. My 'punishment' for skipping school which I hate is to get two days off from school which I hate? Awesome!!"
LOL! Our tax dollars at work.
Set firm and clear boundaries with these unfortunate family members and hold them: let the chips fall where they may.I agree. Them's the kinda people you move far enough away from that they can't pop over for dinner.
Yeppers on part one, part two -
I wish. My wife clung to them so tightly in the early years that the tards live close. Too dang close for my taste. I needs me a barbed wire fence and a rabid pit bull.

It sounds to me as if she will not even know she is at a funeral.
But, funerals are for the living. And if that is what her family wants done, then that's what should be done. They are her blood.
Personally, if I were married into that clan I would be considering the divorce thing.
Gonna log for a bit and help my wife make the picture boards for the funeral. Lazy asses can't be bothered with it, save for her one sister that's taken a real beating from the rest of them over this crap. My wife would be embarrassed if it wasn't done. I do it for her. BBL.

Wow! Take care!
Unemployment helps.I've accomplished mine w/o investing in those.See, I've got to come up with some more stupid silly things to say here to boost my post count. Coming up on 6 years of posting and only have about 6,000 posts.Two words:
"Word games"
Yeah, that would be a factor.

Hearing the current conversation makes me count my blessings in regards to my better half's family. (Not married (yet, hopefully)). I'm closer with them than I am with my own blood relatives. Her brother's been my best friend for the last decade, her father's one of the coolest people I know, and while her mother can be a real bowl of cornflakes sometimes, she's still a great lady. Makes my life seem a little less hellish thinking about it.

UN- and UNDER-... very much so. Sigh.
Plus you have some good friends, except for that greedy no good Dragon in Savannah. ~quickly pilfers some of Mr. Shiny's hoard and then RUNS~
ZOHM-BEY!
Sorry for the RL dumps being so frequent lately. You guys been keeping me from snapping. Or dare I say sane?
Kind of a scary thought there. Hehe. Boobs to the rescue! Power 'Pedoes!
Vent away brother! I wish we could fix the suck! Seriously, good luck!
How that's baby coming?
Anything else going on?

TEH SUCK can always be fixed. It's just a matter of how much property damage, personal injury, soul-withering madness, and ehsplosions someone is willing to put up with.
Oh yeah, and virgin sacrifices to ancient powers of darkness and pez.
The only thing you should apologize for is not supplying me with their address and busfare.
I'm not saying violence is right, but it gets shit done!! I'm just saying. ;)

Needs more PSI.
Good. Don't even tell them that; just do it and let them contemplate the whyfores, whereto's, and throw darts at your picture for dicking them and taking their sister away from her family blood is thicker than water bla bla bla. You've got enough right here, you don't need more.
Go over the charges and they'll suck you into the guilt trip of "well, you allowed it for so long that we thought it was allright, so really it's all your fault." They'll eat your soul that way.+1
The way I see it, when you know what you're doing, and it's the right thing, and a bunch of cretins are second guessing you--you do not sit around quibbling and explaining. In these cases, explaining, allowing them to get you into a back and forth, is just like saying "I'm not sure I'm doing the right thing".

You tried and you tried. There is a fine line between being reasonable and being a victim along with your family. It may suck, but your immediate family deserves better. They may not like the friction in the short term, but you are allowed to be an ass when you are protecting your family.
bumper sticker wisdom:
If you don't f%$* with my family, I probably won't kill you. Otherwise, you made your choice.
I know it's not this simple, but is it worth it to live your life as a kind of hostage?
I wish I could help.

Yeah, I just changed it to "plants" in keeping with my patronage of all flora and vegetation. Pix?
Goodnight, AZ. Hope you get some good sleep.
Glad to have you back, BT.
Thanks dragon! :)

Yeah, finished picture collage board 4. They should help focus on the happier side of life. My wife is happy for my help. Maybe I'll get BttH.
You can pick your friends, you can't pick your kin, but you can sure as hell pick your ass up and get out of their jacked up scene.+
That is some righteous awesome science, man. +1
They can still get in your head via the phone and email, but there's a reason absence makes the heart grow fonder.
Because you can click them off in your head if they're halfways across a continent from you.

You marry your wife, you marry her family. We got married young. Her family wasn't so stupid back then. Or my perspective changed. Maybe both.
For the most part we don't have to deal with them. Just can't avoid them at this time.

Fairly excited about Paizo doing a pre-painted plastic mini set. Hopefully the sales will be high enough to justify more.

Who knows what the future holds? Jobs locally suck bad. And my family is local as well. So there's 2 families to deal with. At least I only have 1 butthead brother and 1 butthead sis-in-law. ;P

Already have that covered. Hehe.
Alrighty folks. Gonna head out for the night and go get a few hours of likely to be interrupted sleep.
Good luck!
I got a butthead brother in law....
one of those who tries to hold your couch hostage as long as he can get away with it.
I haven't seen him in years though. He ain't coming back.
Last time he did try to "come visit for Christmas" I had a screaming b&%#& fit about 2 days into his visit (while my wife was gone).....and he actually took off after the few days like he said he would.
Man, I did take way too much crap off that guy......it's kinda hard, that "sister-brother" bullcrap, breaking through all that.

I hear you. Diane's daughter constantly tries to leverage us using her two little girls. It's f*@%ed up like a soup sandwich, but we try to walk the tightrope. It's ugly, but what else can you do?
