Your stuck with your family for the rest of your life, so you might as well get used to them, right?
The family you were born into helps to create the person you are today, in good and bad ways. Although EVERYONE gets frustrated and fights with their parents and siblings many times throughout their life no matter how good the relationship is, at the end of the day they are your family so you might as well get over the fight and go back to being happy. Sometimes family can say things to eachother that are REALLY harsh and blunt, but thats how family is. They are so used to eachother that it doesnt even matter how harsh you really are although it sometimes hurts or makes you angry but it doesnt feel as offensive because its your family and its not some random person telling you that shirt doesn't flatter you. After a while you get used to how you treat eachother in your family. Although you generally have respect for everyone in your family you are also able to speak your mind to them more easily then you would a stranger.
When fights happen in my family with me and my sister or me and my mom, we could be arguing about one thing such as whos turn it is to do the dishes, they usually turn into much bigger fights because we just let them know EVERYTHING that bothers us about them and sometimes although one person may not be involved with the argument, they usually end up getting involved because they end up having an opinion on what is being said. When arguments happen in my family I get really frustrated because I often feel like I can't get through to my other family members and tell them EXACTLY the way I feel or what I'm thinking.
Although I sometimes fight alot with my family I end up getting over it and move on with my life because at the end of the day they are family and you just need to learn to forgive and forget otherwise you will be alone in life because everyone makes mistakes and everyone says things they don't actually mean. Family is family and you have to stick together.
loved your blog :) it's so true. unfortunately thats the reality of things, families always fight, and it makes you feel alone and especially if other family members are against you. sometimes its hard not to hold a grudge against them for something that they said, but in the end they always love you & thats what matters right :)
ReplyDeleteI am honestly lucky enough to say that my mom and I fight maybe once or twice a year. Although when these fights do arise, they last about a week and get very nasty. I am so fortunate that I have such a close and tight realtionship with my parents. I tell them almost eerything and from this I get freedom. If my parents trust me, They grant me with the freedom of my own actions. However when I do make a wrong decision, I have to regain their trust. Families make the world go round, and without them I would be lost. Which just sparked me a blog idea** Great Blog POst, I love you blogs and I really connect with them. Your thoughts on Family are great and agree with your every words.
ReplyDeleteI love this post, you are so right. It is impossible to be around family without fighting, considering we live with them and we have to deal with all of the ups and downs. But the ups and downs are what bring families together. It's nice to have a place you can go where, no matter what you do, you will always be loved and appreciated for who you are. Your family is a collection of people who know who you are and love you anyways, and we are all so lucky to have that.
