A few years ago, we could have given hubs' family a run for their money, but all the drama has calmed down. Hubs' family on the other hand is NUTS. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whose-family-is-more-normal-yours-or-your-sos#post-123345 Sun, 15 Apr 2012 17:51:42 +0000 Rubies 123345@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>MY family is more normal. My in-laws are a bit...You know...Not. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whose-family-is-more-normal-yours-or-your-sos#post-123319 Sun, 15 Apr 2012 17:25:18 +0000 MamaMoose 123319@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our immediate families have no crazy. But hubs' has one branch of cousins that are crazy. Jail time, drug issues, unplanned pregnancies, etc. that aunt and uncle basically took no active role in raising their kids so they all ended up kind of screwed up. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whose-family-is-more-normal-yours-or-your-sos#post-123314 Sun, 15 Apr 2012 17:12:10 +0000 Minnie_Girl 123314@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The word 'crazy' makes me wince because it applies a bit too literally to my family! DH's family has issues, but they're a different brand of issues than what my side of the family deals with. </p> <p>Apples and oranges, equally fruity. ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whose-family-is-more-normal-yours-or-your-sos#post-123307 Sun, 15 Apr 2012 17:06:12 +0000 eeh 123307@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We're extremely lucky that both of our immediate families are actually incredibly normal and drama free. Our extended families both have some crazy in them and are probably equally crazy but we see/deal with mine more often than his. Although..his uncle did attempt to make out with my ear during the receiving line at our wedding. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whose-family-is-more-normal-yours-or-your-sos#post-123144 Sun, 15 Apr 2012 13:38:19 +0000 heffalump 123144@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My family probably has the most crazy. But DH's family isn't far behind. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whose-family-is-more-normal-yours-or-your-sos#post-123136 Sun, 15 Apr 2012 13:36:08 +0000 oliviaoblivia 123136@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Haha! Dh's mom is 30+ years younger than his dad and DH has six half sibling all older than my parents. I'd say that makes mine more normal. His also has a ton of drama and a lot of divorces. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whose-family-is-more-normal-yours-or-your-sos#post-123106 Sun, 15 Apr 2012 12:52:00 +0000 hilsy85 123106@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Honestly, they're both pretty kooky. They have their own fair share of drama, and definitely our sides each have their own quirks! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whose-family-is-more-normal-yours-or-your-sos#post-123083 Sun, 15 Apr 2012 12:00:02 +0000 sorrycharlie 123083@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>oh geez, mine. for sure. there are several levels of dysfunction elsewhere. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whose-family-is-more-normal-yours-or-your-sos#post-123080 Sun, 15 Apr 2012 11:53:54 +0000 mediagirl 123080@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine has crazy, but it's good crazy. Mine is also much more fun. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whose-family-is-more-normal-yours-or-your-sos#post-123064 Sun, 15 Apr 2012 11:38:52 +0000 MaisyMay 123064@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hubs' family is more normal, mine is more nuts, but both have some issues. My sister does all sorts of crazy stuff, can't manage to live on her own, etc. Hubs' sister is fairly codependent, but she's got a good boyfriend who supports her and helps her out. His family just feels so normal, whereas I cannot say the same about mine. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whose-family-is-more-normal-yours-or-your-sos#post-123062 Sun, 15 Apr 2012 11:35:15 +0000 dc yoga bee 123062@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Definitely mine! DH &amp; sister have both been arrested, sil did coke at age 12, and the story goes on. Whereas my dad is retired military, sooo my brother and I were zero problems. Dad wasn't having any of that! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whose-family-is-more-normal-yours-or-your-sos#post-123046 Sun, 15 Apr 2012 11:16:53 +0000 BSB 123046@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Haha, I never thought about the number of kids you have may dictate the amount of crazy in your family. If I look at just immediate family, my family is more crazy but not because I have 3 siblings and he has 1. It's mainly my parents... well my dad really.</p> <p>If we were to look at extended family, I think we both have a good (bad?) amount of crazy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whose-family-is-more-normal-yours-or-your-sos#post-123043 Sun, 15 Apr 2012 11:14:46 +0000 Baby Boy Mom 123043@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <br /><p><i>This comment has been deleted by the original poster.</i></p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whose-family-is-more-normal-yours-or-your-sos#post-123033 Sun, 15 Apr 2012 11:09:47 +0000 mrbee 123033@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@regberadaisy: Normal can be subjective, but crazy is not subjective!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whose-family-is-more-normal-yours-or-your-sos#post-123027 Sun, 15 Apr 2012 11:06:44 +0000 regberadaisy 123027@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>hhahah..."normal" is subjective.

I think we have equal amount of crazy..! DH is one of FIVE! I'm one of 3 girls. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/whose-family-is-more-normal-yours-or-your-sos#post-123015 Sun, 15 Apr 2012 10:58:24 +0000 mrbee 123015@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My parents had 4 kids and Bee's had 2, so I feel like the odds here are not really in my favor on this one. But actually, our families probably have equal amounts of non-normal stuff in them overall.</p> <p>We're both blessed though that any craziness doesn't really impact our day-to-day at this point!</p> <p>Whose family is more normal: yours or your SO's? Or put another way, which family has more crazy? :-) </p>
