Let's take a peek behind the curtain: what are these families squabbling about right now? 

No two families are alike, and none of them are perfect, either. Whether your family is just two people and a pet, or two parents and 2.5 kids, or a giant mixed family with stepparents, there's plenty of love to go around. Each family has to figure out how to navigate their lives together: for example, some families have dinner together each night, and they work out any issues while eating a casserole. But not every family gets along quite that well, as you can read all about in these wild tales below. 

Over on r/AskReddit, one person was curious to know all the juicy details of the "current family drama that's going on?" More than 500 people weighed in! Some were just unhappy to be stuck at home with their families in the first place. Others were unhappy with who their parent or family member was choosing to date, causing ripples in the family. Some people shared how they were resolving the issues too, as you can check out below. 

After that, read up on some terrible gift-givers, like one person who decided to give someone a single sock.

    The phone calls, texts, threats, etc., are high redneck drama and dysfunctional to point of crazy. It is so disturbing that I am not even communicating with them.

    She's whining about how she's missing out in so much and how much she loved him. Bruh. He couldn't stand you. When I told him my other uncle locked you in the attic during thanksgiving he laughed for a solid five minutes.

    sensitiveinfomax Cousin is a chill nerdy type who likes shopping and partying. Her father (my uncle) has some health issues he isn't telling us about, but which could be serious, and pressed her to get married while he's still around to pay for it. She doesn't have much life experience and believes whatever the media tells her

    women should do. She is a cute popular girl so she had people lining up for her. Turned down some nice people who had superficial issues. Got pretty serious with a weirdo who I didn't like. Then she called it off when it turned out he had career plans that conflicted with hers. Yeah they made it all the way to the engagement without discussing this.

    Now she's engaged to someone who is this really bossy dude who tries really hard to be cool, and his family is weirdly misogynistic (and likely he is too). She's changed her whole personality for him.... She's very career focused and he's trying to get her to quit her high powered career (which tbh she's been wanting to do, but not really).

    Fun part: their wedding is in May. They don't know if he'll even be able to make it (he's in a country that is somewhat badly affected) or if they might even be allowed to have the wedding by then. So they haven't even printed out the invites.

    Her parents are secretly hoping this cancels the wedding. They don't really like the guy or his family. I too am hoping that happens and she actually grows the f out. and figures her life

    [... My uncle married a golddigger, had a kid with her, then the golddigger brought over her golddigging parents to the US along her kids from a previous marriage. The golddigging MIL was caught on camera telling the golddigging wife to get as much money from my uncle as she can. Now my Uncle
    via u/[deleted]
  • 20
    wants a divorce but the golddigging wife wants a large sum as part of the divorce settlement, something about how she wants the house they live in, which my uncle bought, years before they met. Idk how divorce settlements work.

    Now instead they're trying to work it out, but idk how you work the fact that the woman you're with doesn't love you but loves your money....we never really liked her anyway. We all refuse to acknowledge her as aunt unless forced to by the other aunts and uncles.

    pupperlover111 Since growing up and developing my own thoughts. and opinions my dads been losing his mind because he can't control the narrative in our house anymore. It's so funny to me because he raised me to be strong, and fight for what I believe in, but now that I believe in different things than he does I'm "out of control".

    [deleted] My mother is trying to get me to convert my 401k into a money market account because of the stock market getting shaky. I'm trying to tell her it's a bad idea since I'm decades away from retirement and with stocks going low, I'm getting more shares with the same amount of contribution

    money and that when stocks inevitably increase again, I'll get pretty good gains. Considering most of the drama my family usually has, this is pretty lighthearted.
