Family codes and ritualsFreddy Woo writes, "as a child we used to have a 'whoever cuts doesn't choose the slice' rule with cake. It worked brilliantly, but it's left me completely anal about dividing up food - my wife just takes the piss as I ritually compare all the slice sizes."
What codes and rituals does your family have?

I'm a bit scoobied meselfabout how many folk find their families annoying habits quirky or amusing.
I think it's a question of getting over it.
I have never experienced anything more catharsising than telling the old pair to fuck off.
They've been a lot more tolerable/tolerant since then.

Hmmm,I fear we might be suffering from Miserable Irish Childhood/Kids Syndrome (heh, that makes us MICKS). Quick! Write your memoirs!
But honestly, do 99% of b3tards really find their families endearing? That's hugely disappointing.
