Family: My Anti-Happy

Okay, fine, some people love their families – I can handle that, I can even almost believe it. But those people aren’t blessed with my mother and her band of miscreants (snicker).

The arguments aren’t getting any better, in fact they’re getting down-right personal. One of the big issues is that the new stepdad wants us ALL to work on huge business ventures together, plus be an immediate family with each other and, dude, that’s NOT going to happen. I’m sorry, I can’t handle it.

The reason they want businesses is that they want money (who doesn’t?), but the reason they want to be able to bully us emotionally if we don’t work hard enough for them. What that means is that if Laota and I want to, say, go to the store without consulting them not only are we horrible, selfish and lazy employees, but we’ve also let down the family and should be ashamed. I can’t handle this, it’s stupid and douchey.

I'll warn you and delete the offensive part, but if you repeat the offense I'll probably ban you from the domain. I'm sorry, but I just don't have time for spam, racism, and so on and so on. Just to note: What I find offensive? Is what we'll call offensive, this being my blog and all. ;)
