family or friends do.

1) Talk about other peoples kids.
2) Trying to make you look bad in front of other people.
3) Nag about the same crap every day.

I know my threads suck.

1. sometimes they are quick to judge.
2. they can be difficult at times.
3. sometimes they dont know how hurtful they can be.






and your threads dont suck

Ask your opinion and get mad if it doesn't agree with theirs.

1. being so negative and depressed all of the time! (some family members)
2. always have a drama going on (family)
3. gossip (family & friends)

Family: I've lived away from home since March 1997, and not one person from my family has ever come to visit me in NY. I've had one friend visit a couple of times. The last time I was home was Feb 2000. Home is Oklahoma.

Friends: Half of them, I think, are dumb as a box of rocks, and the smart ones are just too far away to hang out with.

I have 2 family members that annoy the hell out of me for similar reasons.

One cousin is 40 years old and has been in school all of her life. She is always bragging about the amount of money she makes (as a Middle School counselor of all things). She is constantly talking about when she completes her Ph.D. Ugh!! Pisses me off. You can't have a decent conversation with her without her bringing up her degrees. The saddest part is that she is not a smart cookie. She is quick to tell someone that she didn't take her first flight until she was 30 years old. She also mentions that she doesn't know her cardinal directions all of the time. That makes me want to slap the (YOU KNOW WHAT) out of her especially when her next sentence is about her Ph.D.

My other cousin pisses me off because he is always bragging on his degrees. He is an Architecture major and graduated from Prairie View A&M. That's great and all, but he acts as if my degree from the University of Texas is inferior to his because he graduated from a HBCU. He makes it a point to only socialize with people who have degrees from HBCUs and only date people that are educated from "prestigious" schools. He then has nerve to tell me that I went to a "white school" and wouldn't understand. He has had so many issues passing the test to obtain his architectural license. I told him that he should talk to friends of mine who are licensed architects and he discounts their opinions because they didn't go to a "prestigious" school or a HBCU.

1) When my family starts these loooong discussions about religion. I hate when they do that, it's a MAJOR waste of time. We NEVER will agree with each other anyway, so why even bother?? TOTAL waste of time, so I don't even participate in them.

2) Sometimes, I get the feeling that my family thinks that just because some of them are doing something, that I should DROP EVERYTHING that I'm doing and participate in them. I'm a grown woman now, not 12 years old. I have the right to participate or to not participate in whatever the family has got going on. I do have a life outside of my family, thank you very much.

Wow, your cousins sound like snobby pricks.

Don't help clean up the house. (Sisters)

Thinks just because I babysit her kids,washing there clothes is part of that job. (Sister)

Has to always comment on my Mom's boyfriend. (Father)

Not ALL of my family but some of them...

1. Cynical(The "there's no decent people left" crowd).

2. Judgmental(Some of them are fuck ups yet they pass judgments so quick you think their houses weren't made of glass).

3. ONLY call me when they need something.

4. Expect TOO much from people,,,which brings us back to passing judgments.

5. Think their children fell from 7th heaven

1...My GF talks about how much she HATES her job...ALL the time
2..My son sleeps ALL day & is up ALL night..i call him the celler dweller.
3...Hubby keeps saying he is gonna FIX stuff in the house..it never happens.

They are. I love them, but they are ass holes. When I get tired of them, I set them straight.

I have racists and homophobes in my family. I have not come out to most of them.
They are infamous for talking about me behind my back but won't say shit to my face but will ask me for money in a heartbeat.

My friends: honestly, I think they treat me with kid's gloves. I believe they think I am so fragile that I will break if they say something bad to me. Hell, I've been through some of the worst things a person can go through and I'm still standing.

A few of them say things without telling me why they feel as they do. That sucks as well.

1) They want me to help them with stuff that they should take care of themselves.
2) They start too many projects at once and expect me to help with all of them.
3) If I don't help they get really pissy.
4) They don't acknowledge that sometimes I cannot help because I work a full time job and have a family and home to take care of.
