My husband’s family is good for all that stuff, especially the drunkenness. Luckily, I learned to stay away from that part of the family as much as possible after his uncle got drunk and drove his truck up a bank into the woods, which led to a screaming fight, one Fourth of July. That was the same day his wasted aunt told me I “look like the kind of girl that starts stuff”..whatever that means. There are few things I hate more than a drunk.
I also tend to steer clear of political comments, seeing as they’re all Republicans. Holding my tongue is hard, but keeping the peace is important in a family where if one person hates you, they all do.
I don’t have kids, but I can’t wait to hear all the gems that’ll come from both of our families regarding how children should be raised.
