    Wow this topic struck me cuz I thought my bf's family was dysfunctional. Hows this for ya. His parents, him and his siblings live in a 2 bedroom apartment. His parents are married...his mom dates someone else, his dads ok with it... she didnt work for 3 years, dad brings in all the money. Almost 30 year old brother lives there for free and makes more than anyone in the house. My boyfriend gives his mom money and she gambles it...shes hardly ever home and complains that she never sees him...shes the kinda mom that you know hates you (me) and has to be in everyones business. To top it off my bf has mentioned getting a big house when we get married....so we can ALL live together! Meaning his whole family! cuz he doesnt want to leave them...now whats going on there? :p WTF? lol.....and ya know what I said.......no! :D

    HA! yeah the big house thing came up in conversation for us before too. Well not exactly a big house but a big piece of land with lots of houses on it so we can all be together. I said fuck no! hahaha.

    As far as everything else, I gave up on telling Jer what to do with his money and he will have to learn for himself. Yesterday he found out from his parents that the money the one brother gave to the rotting tooth brother to pay the dentist has been spent. Surprise suprise. So he is not even spending the thousands of dollars that he is given for this procedure on his tooth. Great. He has learned a whole fucking lot.

    Can anyone say I TOLD YOU SO!! grrrr.

    gads... Jeremy needs to get independent of the family. Do you guys like Oregon?

    do you really want to be a part of this family?
    Imagine parenting: you are trying to raise an adult, while everyone else is playing with a (insert age here, 2 months, 4 years, 22 years) baby.

    Are you planning marriage or simply life partners?
    If the latter, get some legal papers in place so that you don't lose out all the efforts should you split (look at the divorce rate: do you think couples who don't get the justice of the peace fare THAT much better?)

    good luck. I refuse meet my seweetie's brother because he will mooch and make anti-Semetic comments (Sweetie's words).
    We have been together 10 years. Never met bro or dad.
