I also wasn't limiting my criticism to just my mother's side of the family. There are a couple of rotten apples on my dad's side, too. A lot of things have changed with Nathan's family in the two years since I wrote this. His mom is gone and his dad is remarried. We're certainly not the close group we were before.

Look what i got to marry into.. LOL Does it make you feel any better that NONE of them acknowledged Griffin's birth either? Not even my MIL. I think its terribly sad and I am glad you got to bail out at family functions. Its like nails on a chalkboard sitting through most of them now that the "normal" people are gone. My family has its own craziness, but man, your words to describe the family were dead on. Sad, but true... I hope we don't ever fall into those definitions, but if we do PLEASE tell us...I try to keep my crazy to a minimum! ;) I’m so glad you found a good family in Nathan’s family.

I still am very very very shy around his fam, even the parents who live on the next street. although i do have social anxiety disorder, one would think after 5 years i would be ok around them. oh well. that was beautiful. im the same way with my fam and hunny’s fam. i use the saaaaaaaaame words to describe mine as you do yours. i always think its because im from massachusetts and he is from here in north carolina. people are just closer and nicer to their families here.
