Family Get Together.

It is always our relatives who get drunk that messes things up... First they're all having a good time, then all of a sudden you'll hear them laughing so loud then after that you'll hear them shouting at each other and boom!!! The fight begins LOL!!!

People all over the world are so similar in so many ways…my mom does it all the time and so does her siblings. My mom’s family has this peculiar trait of always going for each others’ throats in gatherings. They are of course a very united lot otherwise (11 of them) and would give their right arm in emergency situations but once they are together, there’s no knowing what someone will say when and then all of them will have their own opinion (they have to have one, none of them can just keep mum) and generally all hell will break loose. Immediately after that, they will each return to their respective homes and start having their own groups against each other (like you know, some sister will like some brother and hate some other and such) and this will continue for months till they meet again for some other occasion. My mom has carried this trait with her to her in-laws place too…whenever there’s a family gathering on this side, she will somehow manage to make some snide comments to any of my paternal aunts and uncles and a genial gathering in no time will turn to a war zone. Mom is otherwise wonderful to people, likes having parties and such but this is something she has not been able to overcome. I have told her many times but her general shot is like ‘ I am not afraid of speaking the truth…!’

hmm.. "family get together" will never happen in my family since we have a very large conflict.. that seeing each other might cause a big and chaotic argument. So yeah, there will always be a faction in my family.

there will be laways thes etype of peopel in any family. they luike duisturbances. they can't do anything in peace. i hate thos people.

well ourr family get together is totally different!!we do not get anyproblems as you said!! our relations are quite nice!! and we do even ask them to prepare a food!! some of my relations have the generosity of coming home and helping out to prepare the food for the get together!!. it always fun when we have a get together!! funtalk,jokes,gossips!! it would be like the best day of my life!!

hi Chevee! yes we also have our family gatherings. but the problem now is that we are not always complete. because my siblings need to be in other places. especially now that they are abroad, so we just hope that this coming christmas we would all be complete.

my family is very small and there isnt usually any problems when we get togeher. but my cousin does act up alot. at my wedding she was freaking out saying how much she didnt want to be there and it was actually caught on our wedding video which dissapointed me. also she did the same thing at my wedding shower, and at that point i just told my aunt to let her go.

H[i]i Chevee, When we are going to have ours, not everyone can attend since they are living from and the schedule will not always meet so, no big problems to tackle unlike when I was younger, I will remember that I hate attending because some of the male relatives will start to fight when they are drunk which will always destroy our day![/i]

This a very common problem in a family function or in a community functions,social get together or so on. When ever there is family function in m house or in my brother's house when all the families of my brothers and sisters assembles to attend some religious function or to celebrate some occasion there are usually general discussion about some of the family members or about the drinking habits. A son of my Elder brother get annoyed and create some problems. Similarly in the community functions every body tries to show his worth to be a important person and there become hot discussions some times it creates ugly situation and then with the intervention by elders the things are got resolved. In the society we live such occurrences are bound to come because every body is of their own temperaments.

i think every family has a few like that. a lot of us hesitate to even attend things when we know we have to brace ourselves for trouble.

Hi Chevee, Oh yes, we have one in our family my brother, he has a drinking problem and he always starts so now when ever we have a family gathering we neve invite him and don't let him know whats going on, its best this way. Tamara

My family gatherings are always clam.But it's a little boring.

Thats really sad to hear Chevee. I have never faced such situations. At least for a get together everyone is good to each other in my family and all cooperate with each other and the atmosphere's really cool and pleasant. Your uncle doesn't seem to be a good person since he gets drunk and starts fighting. Thts a very bad habit to drink and start fighting. He wouldn't realize much as he's drunk and might not even talk sense. But all the other family embers get affected by that. Next time tell him in a nice way if your gonna keep repeating the same thing over and over again kindly do not come and spoil everyone else mood over there. The get together would be much more better for you'll to enjoy yourselves

Well I like family gathering its the time to met relatives that you haven't met a long time because we live far from each other and family discussions are very invigorating discussing our fast happening in our everyday lives.

It will be pretty cool. My aunts will cook a lot of delicous food. My uncle will play chess with my dad. I will argue with my cusins. I am just kidding them. My mom will talk about some gossipy stories with my grandma. My grandpa, on the other hand will play his guitar! Besides, my grandpa has a gift for music. This is one of the reasons that I admire him.

Usually everybody behaves. Sometimes my brother will start something with someone when he wants to leave. We are on to him though, so he doesn't do it that much anymore. But he will still do it occasionally. Honestly he can always just say he has to go and politely excuse himself, but he thinks it looks better on him to try to make someone else look bad instead.

About the same as yours.. I guess every family has the same types of goings on within the family at a get together.. I have a brother and a nephew who can't stand each other at all and the very night that my mom passed away, they had a fight in another room of the house before her body was even removed from the house.. Needless to say that I haven't had anything to do with either one of them since then and I honestly hope never to have to see nor hear from them ever again.. It is sad that this type of stuff goes on when a family get togehter should be fun and enjoyed by all of the family..
