Why is it that Weddings and Funerals bring out the very worst in family members?

That what families all about. They're there to let you know how great it is that you can choose your friends.

Because in life out side of families there are winners and losers, you are brought up to be a winner. it's one thing to out do a friend or a co worker it's another if it's a family member you are to give in to keep the peace which always makes you the loser and them the winner, after a time most humans then get mad or leave. that's why the saying user or loser the winner is the user 90% of the time. Fact of life. That's why it is so hard to be fair or do the right thing because if you are that way you always get used!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Even though people are related, they are still individuals! Everyone is different. We all have different opinions, views, and ideas. And when thats in the open... everyone has to judge whose right & wrong. Thats always a head ache! We need to compromise.

its all about the money. people arguing over who had to stress out about calling for funeral services and making bargains for the coffin and who has to pay for them
