ncorrenti 0 Posted May 14, 2006 Share Posted May 14, 2006 I went to my parents' place today for lunch with the family. During lunch my sister brought up a sensitive topic and an argument broke out. It was quite funny because the old family dynamics kicked in and everyone took the same 'sides' as we did when we were all living under the one roof. The 'sides' are: my mum and my sister on one team and my dad, my younger brother and me on the other. My older brother usually remains impartial, unless he has something to gain by siding with one group. Sneaky bugger. Does anyone else's family have sides when there is an argument?

bushpig 0 Posted May 14, 2006 Share Posted May 14, 2006 Sounds like good basis for a movie Nicole Nah, we didn't side off like that. All too selfish perhaps... Link to post Share on other sites
daver 0 Posted May 14, 2006 Share Posted May 14, 2006 i gang up on everyone and nobody agrees with me. however they all concede. i believe it is simply to get me to shut up. Link to post Share on other sites
Ocean11 0 Posted May 15, 2006 Share Posted May 15, 2006 That's because you keep bringing Burma into it and your family are a bit slow in coming up with an adequate response. When they learn that the 'red herring' is a fairly low-level rhetorical device, you're gonna be toast. Link to post Share on other sites

big-will 7 Posted May 15, 2006 Share Posted May 15, 2006 I'm curious, are these cut ones "self-cleaners"? Link to post Share on other sites

veronica 2 Posted May 16, 2006 Share Posted May 16, 2006 My dad always says my mum always unconditionally sticks up for me. Probably a bit of truth to it actually. Link to post Share on other sites
ncorrenti 0 Posted May 16, 2006 Author Share Posted May 16, 2006 Aw that's nice! My mum's like that with my sister. She'll defend her no matter what, which I find quite annoying. By the same token, I'm my dad's pet so he almost always backs me up. I wonder what it would be like to be an only child. Would it be the kid vs the parents or would one parent always side with the kid? Link to post Share on other sites
kkk 7 Posted May 17, 2006 Share Posted May 17, 2006 Nicole, I'm sure it will different for others of course but for me it's my mum who sticks up for me no matter what. Probably to balance out the ott fits my dad can get himself into quite easily! (bless 'im) Link to post Share on other sites
