Always keep a diamond in your mind

Rant alert.

So, I managed to get another family visit over and done with last weekend, and I’m exhausted.

Granted, I’m always exhausted anyway due to my little parasitic peanut. But visiting family always makes whatever state I’m in worse. At least this time there were no screaming, crying arguments.

Let me see if I can break it down for you

The difference between our parents and you guys is that
1)your hubby is SO NOT DAD
2) Our parents didn't have any siblings who would kick their ASSES if they started screwing up.

Obviously.

You will be an awsome mom. Really and truly.

your family reminds me of a woody allen movie. And while it may not be so fun to LIVE with, it sure is funny to an outside observer.

you guys seem really close, that is cool. My brother and I didnt become close until right before he left (mentioned in earlier posts) and I wish we had been doing that out whole lives. but he was just an asshole for so long. haha.

and often I think, living in a family like that is EXACTLY what you need to know what NOT to do in creating your happy, somewhat normal family.

That might explain why I've always hated Woody Allen movies.

We are ridiculously close. We weren't always either though. We didn't really get close until Putali ran off to Ottawa. When we didn't have to share a house we got much closer. But I was only 9 when she left so it seems like forever.
