Crazy Relative Holiday Swap - 2010 Version - join the fun!!

**MaryCarney** · 12-15-2010, 12:35 PM

OK - so on the holidays, we're forced to be with some of our more 'interesting' relative, whether we like it or not. Last year, my crazy youngest sister got married in the reptile house at the Evansville Zoo - just to get things off to a festive start. I am pretty sure I ended up trading her to Greebo for one of his 'colorful' family members.
So - what have you got? Here's the first offer.
Reptile House sister has ALREADY dumped husband #3 - and tried to come and spend Christmas at my house - with her FOUR kids and the girlfriend of one of them. Invited herself of course. Can't wait!

(I'm lying of course)

I'll trade BF's older, dumber brother.

Specs:
32 y/o, white, male
Has 7 y/o son - mother is ex-girlfriend crack addict. He hasn't seen his son since last Christmas, oh and they live in the same CITY.
Has 3 y/o daughter - mother is ex-wife who committed suicide last year after being thrown in jail for breaking the restraining order. This was after her daughter was taken from her for having lacerations (from being tied to her crib so mommy could get drunk) around her arms and ankles
Married to his current wife who has 4 (or 5) children of her own, from at least 3 different men. They were married while ex-wife of 48 hours was sitting in jail.

Beat that.

(any guesses as to the reason we moved AWAY from this family?)

Edit: I'm sorry, this is a half-brother. No one in BF's family has any full siblings.....*sigh*

THAT'S what I'm talking about!!! Great job.
I thought of another while reading yours.
A different sister was married at 17 and divorced from the guy for over 30 years. She lists herself as 'widowed'.

Okay - I am so not in your league - was going to offer up my BIL - he's just cheap and self centered. He looks good compared to yours!!

**Debbie-cat** · 12-15-2010, 11:58 PM

Wow, I was going to offer a few losers (on DH's side of the family

) but I don't think they are even worth mentioning now!

**Vanilla** · 12-16-2010, 12:03 AM

SIL (DH's younger sister) has been unemployed for last 12 months, somehow, BIL (DH's younger brother) invited her to come visit their parents, & somehow he requested us to pay for 50% of her airfare, & somehow we paid

. BUT, nobody offers to split the 5 family gathering dinners we're providing (we paid & cooked) at our house. BIL & his wife never helps in any way, not even putting their used paper-plates in garbage can

.

On second thought, don't want to offer 'DH's brother & his wife', would just like to just dump them in another planet of another solar system.

Yes, I know, I am mean!

**Palooka** · 12-16-2010, 12:03 AM

Yeah, thanks! My family sounds perfect now.

**mauimagic** · 12-16-2010, 12:34 AM

Well, mine may not be perfect, but.............not that bad either!!

**ohio47** · 12-16-2010, 09:38 AM

Ill just throw in my narcicisstic, nutty,has to be sick sister that nobody in the family can stand free of charge. She is only happy when she is pretending to be sick and finding a way to be in the hospital like making herself fall down the stairs or "accidently"taking just enough extra medicine to make it look like an overdose. I could fill a whole page and more with her antics. If she has a man in her life she isn't as bad because she is getting all of his attention. Only thing bad about that is her relationships don't last long because as soon as they get to know her good enough they are long gone.

On second thought I withdraw my offer. I wouldn't do that to any of you nice people here.

**MaryCarney** · 12-16-2010, 09:59 AM

Can I add (sort of a buy one get one) my nephew who is majoring in 'communications' with hopes of a landing a job in professional wrestling?

I finally blocked him on facebook because EVERY SINGLE POST has the 'f' word in it. His mom (another of my four sisters) is currently mad at me for not loaning her $7k for chemo treatments for her DOG!

**kattails** · 12-16-2010, 10:44 AM

I'm new to this. but I think this thread could bring more entertainment than people watching at my son's Little League games.

don't you hate to admit that yes, in fact you are related to some of your relatives....I thought my family was bad.

Last year this same thread took on a life of it's own!!

Crazy relatives are in every family - and I just think we should celebrate the hilarity of it!

Here's another one. My nephew and his wife and baby were invited to my place for Thanksgiving. My nephew and the baby arrived - but he brought his GIRLFRIEND instead (yes, he was still married) and NEVER even attempted to introduce her. I finally had to ask the girl who she was.
