Black Sheep

[Tmall]

I was just going to say, I'm the opposite. I'm like the white sheep in a family of black...

I totally get that.
I have two steps, both younger than me by..umm.. pretty close to 17 years also... and a half brother close to 26 years younger.

Now, if the black sheep contest is between my natural brother and myself (he's 8 years younger), I think he's probably the black sheep.
Not that I have ever really bowed to the family's wishes, been good about visiting, or anything like that... but I've held down a steady job, pay my own bills, and I haven't ever been arrested.
That being the case, my parents and grandparents still seem to do stuff for him when he needs it... so maybe there is no black sheep?

Well I continue to disapoint my family in ways that nobody else ever has. There is never a sound so sweet as hearing your grandfather tell your parents that he was "willing to pay for the abortion, and don't ya wish you took me up on that offer now".

Although my brother has been coming into his own lately and hearing my father tell him hes a shit bag really just makes me feel all warm inside.

Dude, that's just fucked up!

In my fathers defense my brother really deserved it, I called him a shitbag too (was drinking and riding a dirtbike and ran into a buddy).

But yeh I dont talk to my grandparents

I'm pretty close to my entire family, visit often and stay in touch with even cousins, aunts, uncles, gramms, etc. I even communicate a lot with family members on my mom's side of the family that I've never met before. Email is a wonderful tool. Although since my mom died, it seems like she was the link that kept it all together and the emails flowing. My dad's side of the family has always been close and we all still are.

As for the black sheep of the family, my family had black twins. One was my sister Patti who committed suicide in 95, enough said.... and the other is my mother's other daughter (I do not call her my sister) who has been a living hell, and then reincarnating into Satan himself when my mom got sick and wouldn't let any of the family near her for the 5 months before her death in November 07. She's still holding my mother's ashes ransom until the entire family kisses her ass enough to agree on when the lay her ashes to rest.

I would certainly say that she's the black sheep.
