Oh dear god... you want me to tell you about my family?! haha! I'll do my best.

Well when I lived with the 'rents me and my mother used to fight like cat and dog. We were always at each others throats for one thing or another and it wasn't until I moved out that we got really close as a family.

Me and my mom are too much the same and if we spend too much time together we turn vicious. Despite all that, my mom is completely crazy, like me, and I love her very much.

She's always buying me things for my house like tea-towels and cook books which I ALWAYS appreciate and she is the first person I always turn to when in a crisis, that woman has helped me out emotionally more times than I can count, she's my rock.

The same can be said about my step-dad. He's been in my life for longer than I can remember and I've called him dad for about the same amount of time (I have nothing to do with my REAL dad... long story... best not to ask). We've had our arguments though... once where we were throwing things at each other in a rage during my "Off-The-Rails-Teenage-Stage". He can be excessivly grumpy and rather bossy at times, but all in all he's an amazing. and VERY intelligent man who has brought me up as his own since I was about 2 years old. If ever I need help with my computer I just call him, he builds computers for a hobby and is entirely self taught ^^

My husband (CN) on the other hand... he's very shy and is the nicest person you could ever meet, but he has a VILE temper when he gets going, his entire family is the same. He's the youngest of four, he has an older sister and two older brothers.

His eldest brother is his exact double!! It's so uncanny it's terrifying, lol.

My mother-in-law is AMAZING!! When CN was out of work and feeling really down and depressed and junk, she would come round and take him shopping, just for essentials like food and stuff. But she helped us out no end. And when our oven broke and couldn't afford a new one (She told me off for keeping that a secret for 6 months... -___-) she simply took us to the electrical store and bought us a brand new stove for christmas. CN's family have saved our arses so many times.

But again, if ever me or the hubby need them they are there for us instantly. Our entire family is very close knit and viciously loyal. We love each and every one of them, faults and all :)

Mother-in-law really does sound amazing. For me it's hard to say anything that's wrong or broken, cause I don't want any help. Makes me feel bad usually, but I've seen people like her who are very quick to help out no matter what once they find out. They ooze with such kindness. @_@

Your family sounds very nice... very happy in a way! I am glad for you (although I can't really express it right now because of feeling a bit down)

Your mom especially sound so reliable! And your husband too! You must love him very much! XD

I do love my husband, I guess I wouldn't have married him otherwise, lol.

But he's a grumpy sod at times. He likes to growl at things that don't play to the rules, like, literally, growl at them. Sometimes he growls so hard he sounds a bit like a moterbike :/
