The "bossy sister" is so hilarious. I am dying here.

All families have their characters! My husband and kids and I were alone for the longest time then my whole family (parents & siblings) moved into our vicinity. At the time I think my husband went pale...lol

so true, gershon! it sure does work both ways, though. i knew i'd be okay when my husband and i had a huge blowout with his mother right before our wedding and he sided with me. that remained the case throughout our marriage...

You're right, methinks, as I 'm hearing from others... Guess my wife was just a lucky one that she didn't have to deal with my (somehwat) dysfunctional family much at all. Cheers, Gershon
