    Wife, kids not included.

    Talking about parents, grand parents, brothers, aunts etc...

    I dont like em. In fact, i hate the bastards. Should i feel bad about this? I feel guilty sometimes but i honestly dont care that much.

    Thoughts?

    Parents are nice, my sisters are human garbage. Most of my uncles, aunts and cousins are all super people.

    I don't feel badly about calling my sisters human garbage, to their faces or otherwise.

    I love my parents. I love my brother. I love my grandparents. I love my aunt. I love my cousins.

    Two of my Uncles, I still love them... but not so much as the ones mentioned above.

    I am extremely blessed to have come into a family like mine. I have plenty of people that support me and that I can lean on, and I reciprocate without question.

    Ironically, the only family members I can stand (aside from my parents) aren't blood related.

    My Mothers side has about 10 aunts and uncles, all of which have been divorced and re-married at least 2-3 times, and with about 5 'kids' (40 and up) from each w/grandchildren. None of them can hold a steady job (assuming they aren't in prison) and for a while there we were losing at least one a year only to be replaced by an illegitimate offspring that we hadn't know about for the last 20 years.

    My Father's side is definitely smaller, but his only brother recently resurfaced in some weird bid to win over his mother and hopefully get the house when she dies.. He's been a complete sh*t for the last 30 years, of course, and in fact left his four children for her to raise along the way.

    My grandmother's husband and her sons are complete gold, however. I honestly couldn't ask for better mentors and allies in some of these situations.

    No you should not feel guilty.

    You feel the way you feel, it is your right to have any feelings. It is valid, and in fact you have no ability to make them different; you can choose to accept the feelings openly or suppress them until some night you clean out the whole nest with an Uzi. :)

    What you do about these feelings is a different question.

    You may choose to try to find the basic reason for the hatred which likely will take the services of a professional (psychologist, bartender or working girl) or you may do what I've done: say "f *ck 'em".

    wife very much so, parents yes, brother even though we share very different political views, yes, sister yes, my outlaws though not so much, if I could divorce them and never see or hear from them again and keep my wife I would not loose any sleep. So if any of you would like an extra set of in laws they are all yours!

    Love em all too death, sister,dog and cat included. Doesn't mean I don't call her stuff to her face and give her the occasional beating, but ONLY I'M allowed to do that. If I found out someone else did any of that to her... I'd be looking for a defense attorney right now.

    Theyre all cool! any negative thoughts or feelings ive had towards them were a result of me just being pissed at myself and trying to find someone to blame for my own problems...

    I've got a few friends I treat like sisters, and if anybody harmed any of them it wouldn't be a defense attorney I'd be looking for...

    With that said, my "actual" sisters are both sh-theads. One is really only guilty by association and propagating utter bullsh-t, but a sh-thead's a sh-thead, I always say.

    Yes, I love 'em.

    It is said familiarity breeds contempt.

    Rarely see 'em, so reunions of all sorts are sweeter. Bored easily (esp. on phone), can't maintain thrilled-to-see-ya that long, yet visits are over too soon. Departures are bittersweet, I suppose.

    Dad passed away when I was young. Loved him very much. Most of his side of the family has passed away as well (he was an only child). Mom is still around as is most of her family, and I just don't bond with them the way I think I should have. I only have one brother, and he is a momma's boy, so he fits in with her fam.

    Love the **** out of my son!

    Guilty or not, that's the way it is...

    My whole family is great. Especially Mom and Dad. They have always been so supportive of me that sometimes I feel guilty that I don't do enough for them in return. They are divorced and both have re-married great people whom I also respect alot. My Dad and I are very close. He was my main wrench when I began racing some 15 years ago and we have lots in common.
    Even my Grandparents, Aunts, Uncles, and cousins are very cool. Family get togethers are usually party like and I feel amongst friends.

    Guess I'm very fortunate.....

    Love my parents to bits. And I look after them in their old age. My mom has Alzheimers and diabetes, dad will be 85 this Friday.

    My sisters are a couple of sh!ts. One is still smoking pot at the age of 51, and her brain is mush. The other is a selfish miser, gold digger.

    My brother is really cool...the pillar of the family. Thank God for him.

    As for my aunts and uncles...they're all dead...good riddance to a bunch of incestuous xenophobes, anti-semites, closet lesbians & alcoholics. They're the ONLY reason my parents left Europe.

    I have a very close family...my parents and my brother and I are very close. We love each other! The reason for our closeness is that we all hate our extended family...our relatives are pretty much worthless and have a bad history of doing bad things to my parents.

    I consider myself lucky to have such a good relationship with my family.

    My pets, however, are absolutely insane. Still love em though :)

    Sounds like the brother-sister relationships aren't strong so far.

    I agree with Uro.

    I feel the way I feel. I don’t honestly think that I can change the way I view them, as it takes a consolidated effort from both parties. And that won’t happen in the foreseeable future.

    Im happy for you guys that get along well with your families, but I guess everyone is different. Once I broke free from the obligations and judgments of my own family, that’s when I REALLY started to excel in business and my social relationships. Breaking away from them made me a different person and im sort of happy that happened.

    FWIW my wife is a shrink. She has even given up on them :)

    My mom can be really cool but alot of the time she is really mean.
    My dad is really cool almost all the time but I dont see him much...
    my brother is 20, needs to get a job and a drivers licence, But he's really cool
    my younger brother is a little mama's boy and fallows me everywhere. It gets really annoying

    my younger sister is going to end up in jail if she dosent stop stealing stuff from the store and her friends.

    The Grandparents spoil my sister with money, gifts and whatever else you can imagine. I dont like them much...
