Does anyone else have a phenomenally bitchy family like mine?

When one of my cousins got married last year, our aunt said to her "Is your dress second hand, Heidi, only it looks a bit grubby to me round the bottom of the skirt?"

Another cousin, with older husband, just found out she is pregnant and my mother said to her "Oh what a shame your husband won't be alive to see the baby grow up."

My mother to her sister, whose husband is seriously ill: "Oh you'll find out soon enough what it's like to be a widow."

Uncle to his sister: "You're too ugly to be a Smith. Mum must have had an affair."

Uncle to me, having not seen me for a few years: "I see you haven't got any thinner or are you having another baby?"

Aunt to cousin, pregnant with her second: "Well let's hope this one's not ginger with those dreadful white eyelashes." (ie like her first!)

This is the tip of the iceberg!

I love this lot! Actually I wish my family was that bitchy and I wish i could bitch at them like that. With them it's all treading on eggshells and passive-aggressive emotional blackmail. Far worse. At least with bitchiness you know who to blame.

Oh, nearly forgot - mother to me on my wedding day "Everyone's asking why you didn't marry your XP instead as they all think he's so lovely!"

My sister said to one of her friends (loudly) the other day

"Don't ask colditz about the pregnancy, she's very sensitive about her weight problem. I don't know what she's going to do in three months time when no baby appears!"

She is as fat as I am usually, but is only 15 so can't rib her about it, as she would be genuinely upset, whereas I an Not Bovvered and she knows it

My sister's MIL is a right cow. They got married when their daughter was 4 months old. Of all her siblings, the MIL liked me and dp the best as we had nice 'middle class' jobs (lecturer and scientist) Then when sister announces that I'm pregnant so we are getting married, MIL announces 'Do you ALL do it that way?' i.e. get pregnant first.

She absolutly refused to talk to our youngest sister as she is a legal secretary and therefore the natural enemy of MIL the solicitors wife.
