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.
