I always thought my family was dysfunctional...now I know that mostly we're just loud and obnoxious. The only one who's really borderline dysfunctional is my baby sister, but she's becoming less of a PITA the older she gets (though she is still astoundingly immature for a woman going on 31). My DH's family has always put on airs of superiority, but WOW, what a flippin' mess that bunch is. They need extra closet space for all their skeletons.

With my family we drink during the holidays to have fun and share laughs. With my hubby's family I wish they'd drink more so they'd stop being so danged uptight!
