Not everybody’s but the whole concept of it. I mean who thought it would be a good idea to bring strangers together, mix up the parents, mix up the kids of different ages and upbringing?
I mean fine kids are kids and more or less adapt to most things. But BAM then you’re teens, young adults and this shit don’t work, esp. not with the girls.
It was my older bro’s wedding on Saturday. Enter: my step-sis who is a year older than me, a year younger than my older bro. So my bro didn’t want her there due to her lewd behaviour at his engagement party with his mates (he is a soldier…) but she turned up a week before at my house expecting daddy to buy her a wedding dress hence she was then coming. Let me just say she turns up on her bday, and xmas i.e. whenever she will get money/gifts- like f*** the rest of us. There are 5 kids in my family (the younger 3 are her half siblings) but she is the only kid and was spoilt by everyone on her mum’s side.
Me and her actually grew up together and it wasn’t an issue to me. But recently most ppl in the family have noticed she says ‘my dad’ when talking to me- but nobody else. I have always been friendly to her and in truth always wanted to be one of her clubbing mates cos she was like a cool older sis to me- but she never called or text me like she said she would.
Now im 19 and i have realised she has issues with me in particular. I’m my mum’s oldest girl, and in many ways her dad’s oldest girl too. He brought me up since I was 2, he is the only dad i remember. He has always lived with us and she saw him every other week until she was 12ish and stopped coming round. So he barely knows her and apparently it shows when he talks to me vs. her although I admit I always used to think she was favoured, now I see my dad didn’t want the rare times she came round to be the time when he told her off. And by being told off I mean for getting wasted on drink and drugs every night.
Sure she has her issues but life has been ok- I don’t see my real dad, she has the choice to talk a 10 min walk to see hers who will be welcoming but she only comes for gifts. She talks like an eastender but not in a good way, and the pictures on certain networking sites have caused the family on my mums side to ask who that ‘slut’ was :|
Anyway so she turned up to get her dress bought for her (a 20 year old girl living independently), and travel paid for. My bro wasn’t happy but he doesnt like to cause arguments or upset people so acted friendly to her. From the offset she was getting involved in everything, bascially being a busybody in her ”working the room” sort of way, only with a loudddd trashy accent and in a dress which showed her buttcheeks- calling herself our sister. great.
No embarrassment for our family then! Anyway so as people i know from childhood old family friends, my uncles etc people who dont know her, were having conversations with me she jumped into every 1 of them butting in and talking over me. the younger sisters were bridesmaids so the brides mum suggested i take the small role of decorating a car -guess who got up early to do that first without telling me? guess who jumped in ALL the pictures and got annoyed she wasn’t sitting next to the groom?
Every wedding has those people who werent invited -that would be my stepsis and my bro’s real cousin who got her bf to beat up the inlaws and wreck their house. Of course the stepsis and the cousin who has been disowned would hit it right off lol.
I dunno I guess it hurts that she doesnt answer our calls or texts and only comes occasionally when she’ll get something out of it most times, but then when there is an occasion involving us she will claim to be our actual blood sister- or in this case she was everybody else’s sis but my cousin according to her.
Its confusing when you really want to have it out with somebody just to explain how you feel and ask why they do nasty things, but then feel you can’t because you know they have an issue with you and sort of get why.
