Mine are: an ex years ago was one boy with two sisters and one night we got talking about what they called their genitalia when they were growing up. I was flabbergasted when he said "Oh, I had a 'cock' and my sisters had 'minges'" ShockShock

However that was not as bad as the family BBQ (same family) where we were all sitting around a table having a lovely lunch; me, ex-bf, his parents, sisters, sisters' boyfriends and then ex-MIL casually mentioned that she hadn't woken up till 9am that morning.
"That's not true," says ex-FIL promptly, "I heard you having a shit at 5." Shock Shock Shock Shock did not cover it.

DH and his siblings will happily burp insults at each other

My family are fairly prudish (haven't seen my parents or DB naked since I was about 4) and also not very physically affectionate (will hug hello and goodbye but not much else). So imagine my horror when staying over at my best friend's house aged 13 - her mum came to wake us up in the morning completely naked apart from a towel around her wet hair! She always woke her children up with a hug and apparently didn't want me to feel left out so I also got a naked hug!

My friend and I ended up doing the same after school club every week and as I lived quite far away from school I always stayed at hers that night. So every Wednesday morning for 2 years I got the naked morning hug from her mum - never quite got used to it!!

Boots let's get this straight. Your SiL have her own brother a picture of her vagina as his wedding present?

That tops all over weird family posts. Ever.

Another from the stable of the ex boyfriend. When we used to go and see his mother and father, they would just say hello, wouldn't get up, just stayed glued to the (massive) TV. No exchanges happened during these visits. No enquiries as to health or what anyone had been up to. I just thought they were tired until I went along at Christmas and the whole family where there (his pre-teen children, his grandmother, aunts etc). ALL still just sitting in silence, watching ITV (so not riveting). All day, nobody said a word or asked how anyone was, what they'd been up to etc. The only exchanges were along the lines of "fancy a cuppa" and "lovely grub." Baffling.

FollowTheStarship · 18/12/2014 12:10

Well - she's OK with her BROTHER seeing it, and anyone who comes to your house! (where I'm sure it is in pride of place)

Suzannewithaplan · 18/12/2014 12:11

FollowTheStarship · 18/12/2014 12:12

Are you sure it is hers? We can't see the head after all.
