"Living" With My Family

(dear relatives I am truly sorry if you are reading this but it must be said)

Ok so first of all you don't live with my family, you survive them, like a natural disaster, i'm not only talking about my mother, father, and sister, i'm talking about ALL my relatives. Uncles, aunts, grandpas, grandmas, cousins, the whole nine yards.  Lets start from old and go to young, first of the list is my grandma's, they are both absolute nutcases!  One is oblivious all the time and could get lost in a box, the other is a neat freak, lets put it this way, she cleaned her dog so many times that it started losing its fur and is now just a naked mole rat with tufts of fur sticking out in various places.  Next are my grandpa's, one is an average joe accept for one misleading fact... he is paranoid about everything.  The other has parkinson's disease so he doesn't make sense half the time.  Next would be my mother and father both annoying and "emotionally unstable".  My father is especially hard on me, dont ask me why because I wouldnt be able to tell you.  My mother always needs something to worry about, whether its my grandpa, or me and my chores, she is a non stop worry machine and there's nothing you can do to change it.  Dont even get me started on my sister, she has absolutely no sense of humor, I can laugh at things, most things, however she cannot.  Well it's more that she chooses not to, she is basically just grumpy the whole time.  Accept for when she gets together with my cousin, then all you hear is two girls laughs screeching from upstairs, they become hysterical.  However the case I have to live with them, and thats the struggle.  Put all of my siblings together on an event like thanksgiving and I completely lose it.  However i'm no sugar coat either, I have my issues, add me to our family and were practically dysfunctional.  I bet if you recorded our family you could make a tv show out of our dysfunctionality.  I am definitely not looking forward to this thanksgiving because we are having somewhere around twenty people over at my house, which kills my ocd.  I'm probably going to go outside and be alone for all of thanksgiving other than when the food is out. I will do most anything for thanksgiving food.  My family might be crazy but they make amazing food.  I'm pretty sure if it wasn't for their food, I would probably run away and become part of a circus of something.  LADYS AND GENTS PLEASE WELCOME THE AMAZING CIRCUS BOY!!!!! But hey, its free food so who am I to judge.  Whatever the fact may be you get the point, my family is crazy and the only reason I need them is for food and clothing and thats about it.  Yes, yes I know, I will have to live with them for the rest of my life, but right about now i'm seriously considering the circus.
