I always eat at the table, unless I'm feeling uncivilised and nobody's around, in which case I stand up and eat at the counter or just pace around (sometimes I don't like sitting still :p ).

Usually my dog and I are the only people eating at the table (his food is on the floor next to the table; he doesn't actually sit at the table lol) while the rest of my family eats in front of the TV. Even that is weird to me in most (not all) cases.
My family is super old school with meals, cuz outside of breakfast, we all eat our meals together
I do not like eating on the couch and my dog will not eat until everyone else has food and somebody sits down to eat with him.

Also even though I respect my parents I can not stand to be around my family for more than ten minutes. I was going to post a blog post rant but it would have been really stupid. In short, I visited my uncle (probably the most respectable of my relatives) in San Antonio and even for him my respect has gone down. Not related to him, my family are so stereotypically pompous, entitled, and ignorant. They always embarrass me in public in ways I'm sure you can imagine (eg loudly complaining about how awful El Paso is because it's run by Mexicans in a restaurant where nearly all the employees are Mexican, speaking English to him, playing his shitty country music through the speakers, etc.) Related to my uncle: my cousin is my age and his own father talks to him like he's 12. My own dad treats me with more respect than he treats my cousin, so it's not just because my uncle is his parent. Everyone's told him that he's stupid and that'll he'll only ever work a shit job all his life, so now he has no self-confidence, is extremely timid, and is probably going to work at the railroad next year like everyone else in my family. In addition his biological mother (now they are divorced, obviously) was pretty verbally abusive, admitted to trying to have an intentional miscarriage, etc. I was extremely bothered by how he was treated. I stood up to him a few times, and his parents just discussed him with me like I was also 'grown up'. When he tried to stick up for himself he was just told to shut up and he did.

Also my 'Papa' has been cheating on my 'Mema' for years now, divorced her a couple of months ago, and has left her on her own with little financial protection. Both are retired.

In short my family is full of pigs, even if they haven't done anything heinous and I know it could be much worse. /blogpost that nobody will read anyway lol.

Sometimes I worry that these dumb posts aren't anonymous as I think, which is why I don't get into the more fucked-up/interesting to read drama.
Damn, son :/

Yea, mine still does this a lot. I would say probably about 90% of dinners are all eaten together.
My mom's a house wife, and from her side, it's a lot easier to prepare meals when everyone eats at the same time.
yep, same here


My one brother always tries to make his own stuff and she gets pissed.I can't blame here, one, because she just worked on a dinner for everyone. And two, because he's not the one who buys all the food :haha:
We always ate dinner together. So, that was cool.
So I've already mentioned I've been casted as extras in TV shows, as they do a lot of filming in this area. My mom is obsessed with me doing this shit, and while I'm not really fond of it, it's the easiest way for me to earn some easy cash while I wait for my ship date.

My mom is getting on my damn nerves with this shit. She is hellbent on me getting into Vampire Diaries and The Originals, because they film in this town, and the next town over, and I don't have a car. The biggest problem is that she's so hellbent on me getting into the shows, it's almost like she barely fucking reads the casting requirements on the FB pages we're following, but it's even worse that she's fully aware of what she's doing.

With these things, the easiest ones to get into are the ones with really broad descriptions like "looking for college age, or college looking people 18-27" bam, that's it. Though plenty of times, they're looking for really specific cases like "looking for Asian male 25-30, 5'5", 125 lbs, neck length black hair, and must look fit". So with these, my mom notices I fit only one requirement, and tells me to sign up knowing I have a 99% chance of not getting the job. All because she is so hellbent on me getting into those two shows. I'm at the point where I don't know if he doesn't know how this works, or she doesn't give a shit because she only cares about me getting in those shows.

She's getting really irritating, and I start rolling my eyes every time I see those two shows pop up in the casting sites I stalk. It's so bad that there's times where I don't fit ANY of the requirements, but she said "it says 25-30, but you're 24, you should be fine!" I don't fit any of the requirements "this is THE show to get into though. Just do it anyway, they're just gonna tell you no".

I wanna stab her with this shit sometimes.
Damn. Sucks, man.
