Quote from Kaioh

Not much to say. I hate my family. Love is something thats rarely shown in my family.

My favorite person was my Grandmother. She died five years ago.

That is all.

You shouldn't say that.. Family is family.. you're stuck with 'em... You don't exactly have to "put up with 'em" but you should still love 'em. Be thankful you have one.. some aren't as lucky.

If it weren't for the gutter, my mind would be homeless.

We must have the same family. Except that my grandmother is still alive, and no one is my favorite.

I can't put up with my family, and I don't "love" them either. I just happen to share some genetic triats with them, nothing more.

Life is tough......but it's tougher if you're stupid.

How can you guys say that?! 🙁 There's times I do ponder ways of murder for one of my family members 🤣 but, nonetheless, they're still family and I love 'em. No one says you have to "like" them, but you should still "love" them.

Sorry to break it to you.. 🙁 But there are really horrible families.. Not all families are like you see in Family Matters or something.. 🤣 It really is.. 😐

It also depends from person to person.. What their views/ideas are, and what the views/ideas are of their family.. If they firmly oppose eachother, then you eventually start to disliken them..

Some have a great family with only one or two 'black sheeps'.. And others have a family they totally loathe for their own personal reasons, with maybe one or two relatives that are actually okay..

You should feel lucking for having such great family members.. 😃 That's a great thing.. Not everyone can say that..

And it's kinda naief that you should 'love' them.. 😛 You're projecting your own family circumstances.. Which means you have one(?) relative that sometimes annoys you, but at the end of the day you still "love" him/her..

But it's not with every family like that.. Some are really greedy/abusive/disrespectul/loatheful, etc.. 🙁

If I'd grown up in an abusive family, I sure don't think I would love them! They say that abused kids do love their abusive family members on some level, but I'm not sure that's always true, and after hearing about (in foster parent training) some of the stuff some families have done to kids, I definitely don't think that every child "should" feel love towards their family just because they're genetically connected.

My family is, ah, complicated. 🤣 I'm closest to my kids & mom & brother, then my half-sister, then step-dad, step-brother, step-sister, & my mom's family & the rest of my step-dad's family. I'm not close to my dad & three half-brotehrs at all, mainly because for the past 25+ years his wife's been trying to "forget" that he was married twice & had three kids before they ever met, and for the most part he goes along with her. 🙄 My dad really doesn't have much family at all, just two older half-sisters, neither married or had kids. My dad's parents have been gone a long time, & I think they pretty much lost touch with their families when he was still a kid.

Do not try to force your moral values upon me.

I have reasons for thinking the way I do. You may not like that, but you certainly have to accept it.

Just because family is family, doesn't mean you have to like or love them.

I think it is feelings that make family, and not blood. Blood, in my opinion, does not decide if you care about a person or not.

See, now thats an opinion I can agree with.

I am closer to most of my friends than my family.

Very true. I have a huge family, with my mom and dad each having around 8+ siblings leading to me having more cousins than I know. Some of them live in Philippines so I have never even met them or don't remember them. I remember going to my cousin's funeral and not caring since I never remember meeting the guy. He was a complete stranger to me. On the other hand, I felt sad that a kid from my high school band died and I couldn't even pay my respects since I was in college.

My brother is probably the relative that I'm closest to. We shared a room for the majority of our lives (before we went out to our selected colleges) so we know how each other's minds worked. Wierd since we're almost nothing alike personality wise: my brother: extrovert, listens to rap and R&B, keeps his side of the room clean, watches UFC and other sports, and for some reason likes disney stuff (ie: Lion King movies and stuff like that.) Me: introvert, listens to rock, keeps my side of the room messy (there is a method in my madness), watches stuff like Nip/Tuck and Heroes, and likes manga/anime related stuff.

I have a very funny uncle and the more he drinks the funnier he gets. Last Christmas we used his out door Italian oven to burn the trash from the gifts and set his tree and the house next doors roof on fire. On the bright side freaking out and throwing wine on it doesn't help so that’s a mental note to remember.

...(Hes a firefighter too)

My cousin whos a !bitch! lost her boyfriend got rejected to all colleges she tired out for and lost all her hair on her head....all within 5 months.

Do should I thank for this I really must know...this kind of justice just doesn't ever happen for me.

Not all families are like you see in Family Matters

And I'm happy they aren’t....would be no fun at all if everyone was 1950's leave it to beaver happy BS.

Completely agreed.. 🙂 It's just with blood relatives, you can already bond with them when you're little.. So they're usually you're base family.. 🤣

But the ones you have a connection with, those are your 'family'..

if you have ur family forcing opinions and acts on you since u were a child, love can fade away pretty easily.
in my case, my gradmother "joked" with me by calling me names and beating me up if i didnt fullfill her expectations, and when i confronted her about it she cried, and shunned me from the family till i was apologizing on my knees.
can u still love ur family after that?[img]http://209.85.62.26/12240/15/emo/Mams8.gif[/img]

love can fade away pretty easily

No lie, its pretty easy to break bonds with family. Water may not be thicker than blood but its damn freakin more helpful most of the time. My grandmother tried to confront me on something 5 years ago trying to get information about my mother and I had enough. I let her have it and she screamed that I was ungrateful blood trash and should be on my knees for all she'd done for me. Hah, still trying to get credit for giving birth to mother are we?

Family is where is heart is and blood matters not.

To me, there are two definitions of family: blood relatives, and bonds. Family, no matter what, will always be associated with kin, which is why I include the first definition.

Though friends can constitute as family in my world. There are plenty of mangas that focus on such a subject, Naruto, for example if you haven't noticed.
