“Couldn’t Make This Up”: 50 Wild Family Dramas That Make Your Relatives Look Totally Normal

Not anything major right now just minor and somewhat old news.

- Aunt is engaged to a criminal. Family is pissed.

- Other Aunt banned her son from her house over her dog (long story) and so the family is protesting by not coming to any events my aunt is hosting until he’s no longer banned.

Edit: no one really has been to any of her events she has thrown for 2 years now ever since she banned him. The last time I have been to one after his banning there was not that many people there. It was a very quiet Memorial Day. Some of my family in other states are very upset about the whole thing and saying they won’t come back until he can come back to her house.

My mom would say anything for shock value so my siblings and I never knew when to take her seriously. She said a few times that she believed her mom (my maternal grandmother) had an affair with her God Father. Just for context, my mom’s god father is a close member of the family. My siblings and I have spent more time with him than all our other grand parents combined.

Anyway, one day my mom’s God father was talking about his conquests while over sears in the air force and he nonchalantly just says “ofcourse and then there was [Loraine]” and we all were a bit stunned.

The reveal that my uncle was actually my cousin and it was an open secret that everyone knew but him.

Not really crazy, but my grandparents on my father's side don't like me for whatever reason. When I was in first grade they brought my brother a bicycle and didn't bring me one. I cried, and my grandfather felt bad and bought me one too. My grandmother told me, "I tried to tell him you weren't worth it but he wouldn't listen."

Also, once my brother got two or three nice Ralph Lauren polo shirts while I got the ugly pair of panties that come free with your purchase at Victoria's Secret.

My nearing 50 year old aunt has serious grandiose delusions. She thinks shes rich, important, athletic, intelligent, and an author. It's getting hard to go to family dinners. The worst time was during christmas, she challenged my brother to a plank contest (its like keeping yourself still at the top of a pushup but balancing your body on your elbows and forearms). She lost and threw up on her pants, and had to change into my 16 year old cousins miniskirt that she changed out of, then proudly displays it in front of everyone while saying she looks better than my cousin in it (she was serious).

She also wrote a 200 page novel on how skinny she is, not lying, the entire books is about how its hard to sell her clothes at garage sales, and going to the beach and (she thinks) everyone stares at her because no ones ever seen a skinny woman before. No one would publish it so she published it out of her own pocket. And the following thanksgiving wrote in her "I am thankful for..." book: "that my book was published!!"

She always taunts my mom with her new jewelery, makes up ridiculous stories of their childhood, and thinks shes the reason my older brother graduated highschool.

My mom just tested positive for Coronavirus. She’s in her mid 60s. She’s the rock of the family and we’re all very scared.

Dad is an alcoholic diabetic in a quarantine zone and he's likely going to lose a toe/foot because he's been drinking too much under quarantine.

My moms dating that one [jerk] again.

I live with my in laws currently since my husband just got out of the military and they told us yesterday we were being kicked out right after I got laid off from my job due to corona. Love them!!!!!

Dad's cousin got hospitalized and when they asked for his wife so she could sign a consent form four women showed up at the hospital all claiming to be his wife. a brawl ensued and all four ended up in the ER along with him, where they continued yelling at him and at each other for his unfaithfulness and the nurses had to sedate them to keep them quiet.
