I love my dad. However, my mom and sister are both materialistic, hyperconservative, hypocritical bitches who waste as much money as they can, refuse to do any manual labor (such as picking up after their animals), they bitch about how they always have to work sooooooo hard, but whenever I'm with them, they lay around on the couch while I'm ordered to do all this work in a house I've only spent a handful of nights in.
My mom and sister have both developed extremely hateful stances toward LPM, and even more so to our relationship. And the exasperating fact about it, is that we have never done anything to wrong them. LPM is a total sweetheart. She is always kind, polite, and very outgoing around my family, and still they're total assholes to her.
My family has developed this sense of superiority where it's literally a male Cinderella complex. I get stepped on whenever I try to bring up my point of view, tuned out when I want to talk about my day, and generally can't get a word in edgewise. I literally had my mother SCOFF at my major and line of work (computer programming) this past weekend, and I said to her face that it was childish, and that it chapped my ass that she couldn't just be happy for me for ONCE in my life.
My extended family, such as my cousins on my dad's side, are really cool. I love all my grandparents, although both my grandparents on my mother's side died when I was younger. My dad's parents are still alive and I make regular drives to go see them and spend time talking with my granddad about books and technology.
Of the extended family on my mom's side (other than my grandparents), I have only met a few people. Most of them are heavy drug-abusers and alcoholics, and all of them live in Oklahoma, whereas we are in California. The extended family on my dad's side are all generally a lot older than me, although I've met all of them, and they're really wholesome people.
