Reckon we need a rant board. How is this for a start for a family rant board? I'm sure you all have some dicks in your family. Let's hear about it!Hey, why don't I start? You bet I came home from work in an angry mood after my aunt made my mother cry... ------------------------------- One of my aunts is a fucking bitch. I should start from the beginning so this makes sense. A couple of weeks ago, a guy died and my mum went to his funeral yesterday to support her friend. They are extended family on my dad's side, so a whole bunch of Sicilians basically. Sicilians make a deal of everything - when my dad's sister died, (my fav aunt), it was a horrible drawn out funeral (against her wishes - we are STILL very mad about it and I will NOT get into it or I will scream). Now the kid that died was my aunt's nephew. I say kid but he was in his 30's I think. Now - there is a very dark side to the family of the guy that died. My uncle's brother is a notorious drug (heroin) dealer. He was in the papers this morning and there is a book written about him. Yeah haha, Mafia stereotype, shut up . Anyhow the seedy bastard is in jail. He has a cute son who I have watched grow up, I feel so sorry for him. The guy who died was his son or nephew...honestly that side of the family is so confusing I'm not sure. Anyway this funeral was advertised. You can imagine, Sicilians have giant families - my dad's is huge and spans Australia and Sicily both. So this advertisement is there for all to see quite visibly. My dad's brother's wife (my aunt, thankfully not related by blood but by marriage, fucking old leathery bag) rings up and abuses the SHIT out of my mother today for not telling her about the funeral. My mum's just speaking to her like she's an irate child; I wish I had been there. We should have recorded the old hag. She fucking upset my mother. I would have told her I would not speak to her until she could talk like an adult, then I would have hung up. Then she has the gall to ask to borrow the book written about the drug dealer. Um...no? Ok for fuck's sakes - she is old enough to find out about these things on her own, she's a senior citizen. My parents are angry - I can hear them bitching about her wanting the book, my dad's brother wants to read it. (The bitch's husband). My dad is refusing to give it to her hahahaha. Only 500 were published so they are RARE, though they are making a film about it. Anyway this same cow is the one who basically emailed my mum regarding my aunt's funeral in January, abusing the FUCK out of her for this and that and this and that...I just want to slap her. But even us kids, now we're all in our 20's and 30's, are discouraged from entering any kind of family conflict. Oh you bet, my parents are still talking about it heatedly out there. They are NOT happy. I agree with them 100%. It's all a lot more complicated than I have written, but I don't know the whole story. Some time I'll tell you about my MUM's side of the family. They're pretty much fucked in some ways too, some of them.

D< Whut a biatccccch. I would have been like in her face.
And seriously? Here 20-30 is considered adult, or at least, young adult. Nonetheless, kid or not, you should have your say. D:< Fer srs. Just tell her that she's completely incompetent. D|

I would've punched her if she wasn't so old. My mom isn't much of a mother, since she's never really been there for me or been an actual 'mother', but believe me- You get that woman to cry, my mom who's like a mountain against the wind in most things, and me and you are gonna have some problems. My mom can take up for herself, and believe me, she'll do it in a flurry of sharp words and none to gentle looks and remarks, but sometimes people go too far. I don't even let 'your momma' jokes fly with me. I'd seriously hit them. You don't talk about my mom badly without me hurting you. Just. No. I don't know why I get so defensive or take so much offense, but boy I do. I went crazy on Trea once, because he called my mom a bitch. My friends had to hold me back, cause I was literally gonna fuck him up. ( Sorry for all the cuss words, I happen to be a bit heated right now. Hmm, wonder why. Family sucks in every world I go to, it seems. Even the internet. )
I understand where you're coming from completely. I just couldn't, nor would I, stand for someone talking like you're describing to my mother. Not in the lifetime, oh hell no. And this is me now. I'm 14. Wonder what might happen when I get as old as you if people talk about my mom? Oh, it'll hit the fan then. It will.
[ Yes it's over aren't you happy? No more of my crazy long cussing rant thing! xD ]

there is one in every family. Actually I have like...eight.
Sometimes the best thing you can do is just nothing at all. Seniors can be tactless if they want to be and, I know it is beyond frustrating but in the end you know it will all work itself out eventually. Usually it is just being so damned frustrated you feel as if you should slap them around a bit and show them to a mirror but often times it just isn't worth it. I have had to deal with this kind of bull shit my whole life and theres no doubt as to how rath inspiringly frustrating it can be. Perhaps you can rant to your mother or other family about it, or just find a way to release your frustration.
I mean, my grandmother sucker punched my mother in the face. Both my grandmothers made my mother cry on her wedding day. My uncle has fucked his brain up so much with drugs and alcohol he tried to burn his house down (with him in it) because he thinks the demons are out to get him.
Sometimes you just shake your head, look away, and keep walking.

Mocha: That's just it, I'm NOT a child. I'm 22. Okay, so I'm still a kid as far as the family is concerned, but it bugs me that when I'm 40, I'll still be 'a kid'. Aria: I understand. I get defensive when people bag my mum. I mean I do bitch about her sometimes; we have our differences. We had a fight tonight as it is. But she's my mum and I love her. I'm very close to her. And hey, you actually mellow as you get older I might seem kind of aggressive on the chat box, but I'm pretty easy going. I gotta say my temper is nowhere near as bad as it was when I was 17. :/ Tessa: The grandmother thing...what the HELL. And drugs and alcohol are a HUGE no no. There are alcoholics in my family too. And yeah, I guess; weird thing is, I gave my mother the advice to ignore them, yet I'm ranting about it. I guess ranting to people who know very little about me and my family does help prevent confrontation. Cheers guys I do feel better today though my mum's anxious about one of her employees now. I know the woman in question very well as well. I won't get into it before bed. Ugh.
