pitt83 - 2009-05-14 10:06 AM  Could be worse. Springer hasn't contacted you.... Yet....

I worry that having crazy family members will be a deterrent for any guy I date. I can always not really talk about my parents much, but then that makes me seem cold-hearted and un-family-like. But then if they find out what a whack-job my mom is, they'll think that's what I'm going to be like down the road.

I won't speak for all guys, but I wouldn't make decisions based on what someone's family was like.  Heck, I've dated crazy girls with normal families and that sure didn't make things work out.

And thinking of things in the manner of that last sentence is what's going to make you crazy.

I also wish it was Friday.  That would be much better than the Thursday it currently is.

bcart1991 - 2009-05-14 8:19 AM Morning kids. I forgot to ride my bike to work today. I'll do it a lot more this summer to make up for it, though. State tennis tournament starting Friday. Woot.


tomorrow is bike to work day, i thought? i'm riding in tomorrow. it's only 2 miles.


It's Bike to Work Week here at the City of NahFik. We get a certificate and everything. I rode in today and might tomorrow.

I thought you were too busy to read TAN?

i've definitely been dumped cause my mom is nuts, not so much because they think i'll turn nuts, but because he didn't want to deal with her.  fair enough, not his mom.  if i had the choice i'd dump her too...

Hasn't affected me, yet
My family isn't crazy like Springer crazy... but they are what most would call radical right-wing extremists. It's difficult to hold a conversation with my Dad without it turning into a political debate (OMG did you hear what Obama did NOW?!) and he is a admittedly a HUGE conspiracy theorist so he's always spewing about global warming hoaxes or some such.

Also my uncle is horribly slow and socially awkward at best. He has NO IDEA how to be around other people. Frankly it's embarassing - and not in the "gosh darn uncle Jim... hee haw" kind of way. Let me put it this way. I have two uncles. One has physical and mental disabilities. He lives in a group home for adult's with severe disabilities. The other is the slow, awkward one. Once when I brought a boyfriend to meet my family, the "normal" but awkward one was there. The boyfriend thought he was the mentally handicapped one. Yeah. He is also a blatant racist.

Then there was my (late) grandmother. The woman who was bipolar we suspect. Enough said.

The rest of my family (living set of grandparents, and my sister's family) is normal, except they live in different states

Surprisingly, none of this has really affected my relationships, beyond the normal groaning about going to family gatherings or holidays. Every family has their stuff they wish was different. Some are just more pronounced than others.

Yeah, that's the other concern. Luckily, they live far away, so hopefully, I wouldn't have to subject the poor guy to her. But I know that she's made huge scenes and said horrible stuff in front of my sister's boyfriend (called her a b*tch, etc), sent him emails telling him how he'd better treat my sister well, because my mom loves her, etc. etc. I'm REALLY shocked he's still with my sister after all of that. Half the reason why I even like the guy (since he's a good 10 years older than her and they met in a bar) - obviously willing to put up with that crap.

Spokes - 2009-05-14 10:36 AM I think everyone's family has skeletons and embarrassing issues.

That said, I think the best thing is to be straight wurkit. "This is who my Mom is" and anyone that can't deal with it, well, you probably don't need them in your life, FWIW.

Oh, I know, but I don't even want to deal with her, so it's not fair to subject anyone else to her, ya know? Good thing I've been single forever.

I agree with Spokes, everyone's got some sort of issues that can make it scary to a person they want to date.  I have a certifiably insane ex husband, and if I ever like someone then I have to go through the whole shpeel about him.  I always worry that it will send them for the hills.  But you just have to be ok with that; the right person will know that her behavior should not reflect poorly on YOU personally.

I love my mom but she wants too much to be my friend and "share" stories...

my top 2 favorite mom things she's done...

1. I was complaining about a girlfriend (this was YEARS ago).. something to the effect that the sex wasn't great.. mom offered to call her and give her tips.... i was horrified and said no just no but HELL no...

2. after my first marriage broke up my mom decided she wanted to be my best bud and share her problems and such.. things like her sex life with her hubby (not my dad)... I kept telling her I wasn't comfortable talking about that but she wouldn't stop.... so i proceeded to tell her some of the really "bad" things i did when i was bartender... she never talked to me about sex again ...

OK my `Embarrassing story about my mom talking about sex' post is up in the funny stories thread. Ahh mom. She was a goofy one, that lady.

Did I ever tell you she was a cliffdiver in her youth in Japan? Just spreadin' the knowledge.
