What would you like to admit to a family member or dear friend..... But it's really not very nice?

Asked by AmWiser (14947points) August 25th, 2011

You really love this family member or friend but something they do or don’t do, just does not set well with you.

Who is it and what do you want to say?

For me: Sis, your cooking really sucks!

And please have fun with this question if you feel the need.:DDD

My mum : Please stop thinking your always right. You’re not. Sometimes you don’t even make sense.
My dad : You’re not God.
My sis : Um… I’m older than you, right?
My other sis : You’re not the female version of Michelangelo from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, so stop it.
My Bro: You need to get out a bit more. Trust me, not everyone wants to hurt you.
My youngest sister/my spoilt one : Why are you growing up??? You’re perfect just as you are :)

To my aunt and cousin, I beg of you to get some family counseling and stop fueding with your son and brother and his family. It’s been going on for over 10 years now. Our whole family is torn between loving you all, but having to keep everything separate, because you two refuse to speak to him and his family, although they are willing to talk to you. Both factions created some of this ugly problem, but you two were the main instigators (and you fail to realize that) and you are the ones who have failed to attempt to make peace. You need counseling to fix this situation, you can’t do it on your own, but if you aren’t willing to do that, then our entire family will continue to have a big rip right down the middle. If you two keep this up, you will never know your 2 youngest grandchildren/nieces, because you refuse to see or speak to their parents. Why do you think continuing this feud is worth it?

Oooh, basically, I’d tell everyone I know right now how oblivious they are to others a good part of the time. LOLOLOL

Gah…the twilight zone of ‘communication.’

An acquaintance; you deserve better than that. I think the whole thing is gross and you’d be better off focusing on ways to like yourself and improve your self esteem. If you did that, you’d be more attractive to a real potential partner instead of going to people where you have to pay for it. It makes me sad for you.

My mother: Stop it. Stop trying to get attention, stop trying to treat me like a child, stop being paranoid about everyone stealing me, stop worrying about me not loving you, just shut up and don’t spoil my upcoming wedding.
My father: You are not right. Stop trying to make me feel guilty for what I have not done, stop trying to tell me that I need to think about things, stop being so goddamn patronizing and disapproving. Your son is getting married, get over it.
My oldest sister: You are not your mother.
My second sister: It wouldn’t hurt that much to just care a little bit.
My youngest sister: Grow up.

My cousin. I would tell her to let her children live with their dad because she is the worst parent I’ve ever known!!! Some people should just be fixed at birth!

I’d like to tell my grandmother that she’s acting like an childish wanker.

I’d tell my grandmother that if she acted with everyone the way she acts when it’s just the two of us, everyone in her family would fall over themselves to be with her.

Seriously, this woman is pithy, intelligent, understanding, hilarious and caring when it’s just her and me. Whenever she’s with anyone else, she tenses up and expends all of her energy trying to conform to several different social ideas at once. This makes her short-tempered, bigoted, angry, insulting and dismissive.

Around everyone else, she’s a proper, rich, Republican white lady born in the 30’s. Around just me, she asks me about tattoos and has even asked me how men can pierce their penises, and she wasn’t shocked that I knew the answer. It’s very sad that she can’t be like this all the time. She would be so much happier. :(

Grandma, you yelled at me and you screamed. You ruined my 15th birthday party. You made my mom cry and hurt my family in so many ways. All I have to say is you are making everyone leave you in your time of need. Don’t you see what your doing? Oh wait you don’t. You never did.

An acquaintance: I understand your success is really important to you. And I’m sorry you hitched your wagon to me and this place. And I know you really want me to bust my ass on your behalf, but truthfully, I simply don’t give a shit about you and your ego.
