So, you're a southern boy with a southern belle W. So we do have some differences I'm a Yankee. Almost all of my extended family is from the NY area. We live in upstate NY now. I'm the youngest of 6, (5 girls, 1 boy) He was spoiled rotten, although I was too being the youngest. It was expected that we all become educated and go to college at the very least, master level preferred. All of my siblings are educated and hold quite powerful jobs. I have the education but like I have said before, was never motivated to pursue the money. I just wanted to study something I was interested in. You are well educated as well. Was that an anomoly in your family or was it a given like in mine. I think that you can tell a lot about a family by the expectations of the parents. I remember you said you came from a very domineering fundamentalist father. We were raised Catholic but I cannot recall one instance of my father attending church. I think he thought it was a lot of BS and I tended to follow in his footsteps. Tell me more about your parents (if you are willing). So I know they have a lot of proper etiquette in them there southern states. Women are taught to be "ladies" and often NOT sexual. Maybe some of the southern women on this board will come along and prove me wrong but that's the stereotype. Sounds like she has a lot of her family around, what about yours? Are they in the area? It sounds like her family can be pretty intimidating. Do they like you in general? Do they know about the EA? My H family is way too involved in our lives. My parents are mellow, never bother us about anything. His family is constantly calling, trying to get us all together, blah blah. Who has time for all this and why do I want to spend so much time with you. Leave me alone! (Ok, done with that vent). Glad to hear your brothers and friend are coming to visit. That will keep you distracted for a while. Stay Mr. Cool I'll be Miss Cool (with the brass ones, Lol!)
