Yeah, she does.


I'd post mine but you'd all get confused, like "How's that person related to you again?"

But they consist mainly of my dad trying to convince us all that it's a good idea to marry your cousin. And he keeps going "Give me one good reason why you can't marry your cousin!" And we're like "Dad, we can give you a gazillion reasons!" And he's like "No, no... just one. Just one good reason." And then every reason we give, he dismisses it.

It's even more confusing when you have extended nieces and nephews that are older than you

My family's just like that.
I've made many, many family trees over the years... I get confused as soon as it gets to my grandparents' generation. Ahhhhh.

I made this thread for Spicy's stories but she seems to be avoiding this thread like a plague

Please search before posting, so that we don't get multiple threads on the same topic.

I'm going to merge this.

ok, I'll start.... my older sister had a rishta coming over for dinner. She wasn't ready for a rishta and so her and I came up with a plan.

I was 16 at the time and everyone sat down. Everyone talked and ate and I acted super annoying ("Why?" to every question "Uh? I don't understand!") and SUPER LOUD. Haha, my sister was perfectly womanly and I got dagger eyes from my family.

At the end of that night, the rishta goes up to my dad and asks if I was available

Just the other night, this larka kept talking about family, marriage for a good 30 minutes... and I politely and distantly paid attention --at the end he asks "How do your parents feel about you getting married?"



umm

"My parents are very happy and delighted with Afra and I's relationship."

him: "haha"

Default Re: Family, Rishta, Drama thread

my strangest suitor:
was introduced to me by my bro-in-law
I should've known it was not meant to be...he had my least favorite male name
he'd come over and fire off question after question until I asked him if he'd written them down on a list and memorized them before he came..to which he replied "I don't get it" and I said "I know."
he didn't want to ever buy a home, he wanted to always rent..his theory was that the smaller our place was, the less likely family would visit us.
he didn't want anyone to visit us.
he didn't want me to ever talk about our happiness or sadness to anyone.
he couldn't remember the names of his nieces and nephews when I asked..mind you..he only had 4.
