There's a Christening this weekend. A big party after and please dear gawd next to sister-in laws sister. A background...Christmas at my brother's house. This family would appear surrounded by halo's, perfect teeth, matching outfits, so well behaved. My kids were hanging from the staircase.

Fast forward to a baby shower years later. Both me and SIL, kids with chemical issues, kids who had been away, kids who tried to off their miserable selves, then became estranged...yup it was all our fault. But sister in law's sister. Perfect teeth and they passed the bar. Her hubby has a secret relationship with Paul and he likes strap-ons too much.

She steals vodka from her maid. He has ulcers he never told her about. One of her daughter's has a really special girlfriend...*******, the boy who knows...please don't let us sit next to them Pleeeeze.
 

Basically the "perfect" family members that throw yours past the gutter in being Martha Stewart grade wonderful.
 

Eek! Exactly, I will leave early before I deal with them again. My oldest boy and I'm great...his wife yesss. We can talk about "Mr. Baby". My beautiful baby boy...love you than life itself...
 
I used to work with a woman who we called "The Woman Who Does Everything Better Than You". If you complained about what your husband, your mother-in-law, your kids or your dog did, hers "never" did anything like that. She would just look so surprised that other people had husbands who left wet towels on the bathroom floor, or kids who crayoned on the walls, or a meddling mother-in-law. And, heaven knows, her dog had *never* had fleas or made mischief on the rug.....he was born housebroken, apparently.

We couldn't decide if she was lying, delusional or heavily medicated. Or even if she *had* a family, since we never saw them. They were too busy doing *important* things to stop by the office or show up at parties.
 
Don't know what to say other than you CAN do this! And, I don't like Martha Stewart!
