We all psychos.
On the real tho we are very close knit and take a lot to do with each other's business. My parents grew up in the country. Grandmother lived down the field from her father. Her sisters lived right next door with their husbands, cousins built homes on the same street.
Imagine dating somebody from that family. Imagine trying to whip one of the women's asses when her brothers and cousins are right next door. Imagine trying to be a hoe. It's hard to bring foolishness into our inner circle.
My mom dated my dad who they both went to high school with from the next town over. His family was the same. His father has like 70 acres, his sister built homes next door. Where I'm from there is an entire neighborhood with nothing but people in our family three-four streets full.
My mom and dad got married and knew damn near everything about each other and their families. So their generation moved to the city and raised us the way they grew up.
We were in a city neighborhood living like Lil House on the Prairie. I had callouses on my hands when I was little from picking vegetables. Damn near used to cut my fingers off cleaning and filleting fish.
My friends would clown my ass b/c I had to make sure dinner was ready and the house was clean b4 I could go play kickball. My mom once smashed my Nintendo to pieces b/c I was playing on it and my bed wasn't made. I may have a slight neurosis about cleanliness now that tends to cause tension with the men in my life but I don't care. I get anxiety about living in filth.
Frankly my parents feel like people in my generation don't have good sense. Dating has been difficult b/c you don't know what it's like to try and run some fukk boi bullshyt past my parents. It's not that they are conservative or prudish or uptight. They are just extreme pragmatists.
My mom works in Wal-Mart and give unsolicited advice to hoodrats with multiple kids every time one walks by her.
"Stop cursing that baby out! He didn't ask to be here! If you can't afford em why you have so many?!"
My mom has told this shyt to these chicks point blank.
My dad goes in on these young dudes daily. Half the shyt I say to ya'll men on here comes from him.
"Da fukk you mean a grow ass man ain't never had a sniff of p*ssy but he in front of a video game all day?! The hell is wrong with him?! And why these men nuttin in obvious hoes?! I knew she was a check chaser a mile away! These nikkas broken. They think the only thing they got to offer is dikk. Don't you bring no sorry ass nikka through my door with a ready made family tryin to live off your paycheck! What you mean they just wanna fukk? So? People in hell want ice water. Nikkas come with their dikk in their hands useless and don't even know how to---"
Between the two of them it goes on and on and on and on. Now multiply that time two sets of family members on both sides.
"Why is my son dating some bum bytch?! She just trying to suck him dry b/c she ain't come from nowhere! She'll fukk your friend and your daddy as soon as you close one eye!"
So growing up like that makes me view shyt a lil different. The shyt I hear some people talking about just wouldn't work in my family. They just not here to care about your feelings. But I appreciate them for their almost innocent imparting of common sense to us b/c they are just simple people who have the courage to tell what's in front of them and in the same spirit I've grown to be just as honest as they are...even tho it's gotten me into some sticky situations.
, b/c they had shyt to work out and I got growing to do.
