3. My entire family is flamingly conservative.

Except for my libertarian dad, and my liberal-ish cousin, they're all really traditional, hard-line conservatives.

And it's REALLY awkward how holiday dinner conversations always turn to how much they don't like gay people...seeing as I'm queer.

10. That must really suck.

:hug:

I've got two psychotic grandparents and an uncle who's in denial about it.

4. Most of my relatives would probably put me on that list

But I'd have to say Emmylou, Meri and dear old dad. :P

5. I don't think any of them are embarrassing.

Pathetic, check.
Racist, check.
Obnoxious, check.
Self centered, check.
Hateful, check.

Embarrassing? That sort of assumes that I'm there to be embarrassed. I avoid them at all costs.

6. Peggy, Paul, and well that's it

Peggy wore shorts and a dirty tank top to my father's funeral. Paul is her ex husband, so technically not related anymore, but we were at one point.

7. My Dad. My stepdad. My late stepdad.

Mom sure knows how to pick 'em.

8. My mother, my mother and my mother.

She's not a very nice person. Tact is not her forte, so I cringe every time she opens her mouth around certain people, namely my in-laws and my SO.

11. Are we related? Sounds like we have the same mother.

9. None...

Aggravating? Yes, one or two are aggravating to me but they don't embarrass me.

Most of my relatives are deceased and I only really have brothers and sisters left and their kids.
