FabSwingers.com forum: Would your family choose you?

Way over Yonder, that's where I'm bound

Woman's Hour had a phone in on how happy we are with our family lives.

One caller made the comment that you can't choose your family but if you could no one would choose him.

Would your family choose you and why?

If they wouldn't, why?

This is meant as a light-hearted thread.

I am a great brother and uncle. I mind my own but I am there whenever they need me. I need space and they give me it and they put up with my special ways... They know I am artistic and they blame that for my 'difference'

The easiest way to increase your popularity in a family situation is simply mention that you're drafting your will.....

Hmmm, I'm not sure. I'd ask them but I don't think they'd give an honest answer.

I think it would probably be a yes even though I am a bit of the black sheep though.

Mine parents wouldn't choose me because I'm gobby and other things.

My sister and her family would and do choose me. It may be because I'm generous and buy great presents.

You have been properly chosen! That's good for your child to know the family still welcome you, not so good if they know their mother is frowned upon.

I went to great lengths to explain to my daughter that Daddy loved her and it was Mummy's fault when we split up that I was leaving. Didn't want her thinking it was my fault and resent me for something I hadn't done.

I get you. My mother told me that I was ugliest baby ever born and when she recognises me (she has dementia) she calls me the ugly girl.

I have a split family, my mother was glad to see the back of me when I joined the army, and my siblings on my mothers side have told me they are glad they don't have to deal with me and the way I live.

My siblings on my fathers side are much the same, but my dad and I were the ones who understood each other, he would have picked me, even though he had more women in his 50s than I hav had in my whole life, the dirty old dog, rip little papa

I get on reasonably well with my family now. I always felt my Mother would have been happy to not have had me and my sisters when we were younger, but I suspect she sees the benefit of us now

Everyone else in my family thinks I am awesome. Of course!

Ok now I'm thinking about the types of cake...Victoria sponge I'd say was one and a lemon drizzle maybe...off topic, sorry

...

Mine would probably choose me, generally because I tend to get on with most of them, cutting through unevessary factions, or just swear inappropriately to break the tension

I also bring decent booze to gatherings, that may help.

A true Victoria sponge filled with cream and home grown raspberries and there were two lemon drizzles due to the popularity.

And five other flavours.

Dammit you didn't volunteer the flavour info!

....ok chocolate fudge/or a chocolate variation, a carrot cake surely, maybe a coffee cake and there must be a gluten/dairy free variety (does that count as a flavour)

Interesting thread. Not a light hearted thread at all.

I'm the youngest, the strongest and I know that I am the one who is always left out.

Do they love me... Of course. Just they're closer in some ways.
