You have them. You're too funny not to.<br /><br />But, I have one of those large families who puts the 'fun' in dysfunctional, loves each other, has each other's backs and chooses to hang out together. We have zero holiday trauma. YET - when we were growing up, we did far more interesting, torturous things to each other than Kristi mentioned. We just wouldn't let anyone else torture one of us.People Who Know Me Would Say:https://www.blogger.com/profile/04621641188403948733noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3003661978320973538.post-1524991274950447232009-11-13T03:09:21.643-08:002009-11-13T03:09:21.643-08:00Now going on 50 y/o and having been exposed to a g...Now going on 50 y/o and having been exposed to a great pseudo-daughter for 3 years through my GF, I know the feelings you describe.

We both wished we had siblings we could talk to, relate to, hang with, socialize with, etc. The funny thing is that we BOTH DO have siblings. <br /><br />So, I can't even relate to those who have siblings that they get along with and talk to all the time. And merely having a sibling doesn't guarantee the idealized adult relationship. {SIGH}.Nanny Goats In Pantieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06019800312349427823noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3003661978320973538.post-89586151330875745692009-11-12T16:43:20.785-08:002009-11-12T16:43:20.785-08:00Keith, thanks.

Oh sure there is a drunk, or more acurately a group of drunks, but every family is broken is their own unique way.<br /><br />Now, here is something you do know. The family you CHOOSE? Now that is where the treasure lies. Your girl friends are your sisters and you probably have one or two that serve as a mother or a daughter or a niece. I count myself in that group and feel lucky to do so.<br /><br />When I was 16, my little sister took my underwear and bras and decorated the shrubs in front of our house. Good times. And I totally deserved it. I once chased her with scissors. Audrey, if you're reading, do you remember that?<br /><br />Now, about this dog/cat thing... Can I suggest Siblings Without Rivalry? It is a remarkable book and will point out to you just how normal your "children" are.<br /><br />Love,<br />KKristihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15208148440792723631noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3003661978320973538.post-31410116110727936212009-11-12T12:31:23.928-08:002009-11-12T12:31:23.928-08:00Cat crack...rum....whisky...whatever works right? ...Cat crack...rum....whisky...whatever works right? <br /><br />Jayne, you would have been great with kids and just to prove it, I'll lend you mine!<br /><br />Good mothers are always lending out their kids...aren't they?MrsBlogAlothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09754196222405796214noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3003661978320973538.post-77051396880321754512009-11-12T12:03:31.236-08:002009-11-12T12:03:31.236-08:00speaking of spoiled pets and the mommies who love ...speaking of spoiled pets and the mommies who love them, as I'm reading your post, both of my weiner dogs are whining and growling over the same cruddy piece of rawhide that looks like a truck ran over it, when a perfectly barely chewed one sits over in the corner, not even bothered with. <br />if that isn't acting like two 5 yr olds, what is??kimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06735828474014945446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3003661978320973538.post-76937476694981765392009-11-12T11:56:25.170-08:002009-11-12T11:56:25.170-08:00That sounds awesome, I think I'll plan my next...That sounds awesome, I think I'll plan my next vacation there too!Gone, long gone.https://www.blogger.com/profile/06643107678702209552noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3003661978320973538.post-78758802875730994642009-11-12T11:28:49.697-08:002009-11-12T11:28:49.697-08:00Jayne, you always make me smile!
