Family funeral hypocrisy ‘fun’
My family are a very strange group of people, hence why I haven’t had anything to do with them (apart from my grandmother before she died) for a very long time, other than basic contact and only when completely necessary.

My mother had refused to have anything to do with her mother-in-law for nearly 20 years & wouldn’t have her in the house. My father is an only child, so my gm had no other family. This meant that my grandmother spent a lot of time alone as she lived about 80 miles away (I did what I could when I could), including every Christmas alone for 20 years. My father, who has the backbone of a blancmange, went along with this so as not to upset my mother.

When my grandmother died at the age of 95 four years ago I found out after a couple of days that they were planning on my mother reading the eulogy at her cremation.

WTF. There are lots & lots of strange things that have gone on with my family, but this was fucking appalling.

I had gone along with all the other choices, helped my father with the arrangements (it’s a strange thing helping your dad chose a coffin for his mother), but there was no way I was going to allow this to happen. I called my father and politely told him that the hypocrisy of this was unacceptable. I understood he was too upset to speak at the service and said I didn’t mind who else would do it, but it just wasn’t on. In the end we agreed that the vicar would do the eulogy instead.

To this day I cannot believe that bare faced hypocrisy.

Tl;dr – my family are cunts, even when it comes to burying the dead.

So your bad manners come from your mum's side of the family?

Maybe your granny had been a complete bitch to your mum.

That wasn't the case. My mother is just a nasty cunt.

*shrug*
The whole "daddy issues" thing was made up by my gay stalker, self-confessed paedophile and notorious fuckwit Rory Lyon and perpetuated by his partner in twattery, the poverty-stricken, braindead failure Monty Boyce. Oh, and you.

Still, I bet Freud would have had a field day with the three of you.
