Worse insult you have received from a family member (Light hearted or serious, its up to you)

[Parasondox]

Evening Escapist,

The seasonal holidays are here and time for family and relatives to get together and enjoy the love and peace. Okay who am I kidding, they can be hell at times that some of us with we could avoid. Here is a simple question and thought you can share, what has been one of the worse insults ever said to you or done to you from a family member or relative in the past? The insult didn't have to happen during a holiday but anytime really.

This was a quote from my mother last year,

"Cut that thing off of your face (referring to my beard), you look like a man".

I was 21 and I am too a man. I didn't know whether to laugh, cry or just admire her skills at jokingly insulting me.

Sharing is caring so please me know.

Once when I was seven and my sister was ten, she called me useless. I think I was devastated for about a week afterwords. Hell, me and my sister fought constantly until she got married. Now we actually get along.

The other happens on a daily basis with my entire family. my aunts & uncles, parents, and grandparents constantly tell me to get my hair cut. Compared to some people it isn't even that long yet they constantly comment on it. I went to my grandparents last week, first thing my grandpa said to me "I see you haven't found your way to a barber yet." It doesn't bother me and I take it just as a joke because it almost always is.

How about your girlfriend's parents? Boy was that an awkward conversation.

Her dad - "Your kids will inherit good genes. Except for their hair. You're balding."

Me - "Yeah...."

I wanted to jump out a window T^T

My sister was a proper ***** when we were growing up, we fought like cat and dog.
I regularly got called fat and ugly, a waste of space, a sad *****, a geek, lonely, no wonder I had no friends, a spoilt *****, stupid, etc.
Getting into teens when you're most vulnerable and hearing how much of an ugly, fat ***** you are at home then going to school and having that reinforced by your classmates was disheartening.

We got on better when she moved out and get on fine now, she's still quite a ***** though.
I do forgive her because she ended up saving me from something unpleasant.

My mum has said I "need help" a few times because I play games and read comics and that I should have grown up by now.
That would bother me, but I usually shoot back with "well I'd be a bit more stable if you had bothered to be a decent mother to me" so I'm just as bad.

 

[Lieju]

I generally have a good relationship with my grandparents, but anything to do with my sexual orientation is a bit of a touchy subject.

I think being told out of the blue that if I'll ever have children they will pity them for being raised by lesbians actually hit me pretty hard.

Also my aunt told me I was a lying child because she didn't believe something I said that was completely true and I haven't forgiven her for 20 years.

Puff is a family staple, being a british derogatory term for an effeminate homosexual male. Only 33% of that statement is correct, but it's the one that gets under my skin the most. Otherwise it's just a verbal abuse warzone.

When I was still in elementary I had troubles concentrating on homework, so my parents asked me if I wanted to go to a concentration camp. I didn't get it til later.

Though usually one insult is returned with another in my family and we just blow it off. My aunt will often call me a nerd or geek, and I retort it's more healthy than drugs and alcohol.

One of my mother's favorite insults was to ask someone, "What's wrong with you? Do you have your thumb up your ass and your mind in Arkansas?" If you're familiar with the United States midwest region, you can understand the level of insult there. (I'm from Missouri)

I remember telling my older brother once that he, "was a mistake of nature I intend to correct." I think I was around 8 at the time.

 

[Random Argument Man]

Well. I guess that it's list time.

Brother: I've once had an accident with a band-saw that left me a big scar and a fear of things that cut. When my brother is drunk, he keeps reminding me that "I'm the only kind of idiot that would do that in the world".

Dad: Have an anxiety problem at the moment. Dad makes fun of it.

Uncle: "An Education degree? Are you making certain that no one will take you seriously in life?"

There's more, but I don't want the anxiety that I was talking about to go haywire. (It kinda went haywire to the point that I went to the hospital yesterday).

Well, we have when I tried to mimic the outfits of the girls I saw at university. I was eating breakfast, my father showed up and kept going on very loudly proclaiming that I looked like a prostitute and no real girls dressed like that. The outfit in question? Stockings and shorts during late summer/early fall. I ignored him yet he kept going on about it. To be honest, I am mostly bothered by the fact that my mother was in the same room and didn't speak up. Her husband calling their emotionally unstable child trying to be comfortable with themselves a whore in a very condencending tone? That is pretty bad.

I did go and change, into a goth dress with a large black ribbon in my hair. Not sure if he would have preferred it or not.

Please note that this is the same man that kept complaining about my outfits way before I transitioned. Back during my teens I dressed mostly in neutral colours, eventually to mostly black and grey trousers/jeans and a proper shirt. Which was highly improper clothing when he returned home or during weekends. Because the only proper clothes was a workers overall, only work clothes were accepted at home.

The joys of having a narcissistic workaholic farmer of a father.

 

[Mr Fixit]

Well I'm always getting shit from some of my family because I'm 30 & I don't have six kids & a wife I don't really love. Apparently that's all I'm supposed to do with my life.

Got told I needed to "get a life" in high school, funny thing about that is the girl that said that to me now considers me to be a good friend & we talk all the time.

I've thrown around plenty insults myself though...

My mother once told me that if I don't learn how to clean properly (meaning up to her fairly high standards) the only woman I'd ever be able to marry would be either a crackwhore or trailer trash.

 

[an annoyed writer]

My family was yet another abuse warzone. I've been called fat, ugly, tubby, retarded, useless, psychopathic, sociopathic, a drag queen, a fag, a ******, a leech, and much much more. My brother and I fought quite often, and my parents and I still do. They mock me for having the problems that I do, instead of being reasonable people and instead of trying to help me with them. If you live in a house like mine, you'd probably understand why home repair is often in the family's leading expenses. The fights get... destructive, which is the norm when you're a transgender girl in the midwest US with an unloving father and an alcoholic mother.

when i told my mom that i was a lesbian for real, and that i wouldnt revert back magically to heterosexuality, that she just had to accept it, she told me : if i knew what you would turn out to be, i would have choose abortion.

it took almost 15 years to speak to her again

 

[Tanis]

Serious Insult:
You remind me of your (birth) mother.

Light Hearted Insult:
You remind me of your father.

 

[Folksoul]

I wish I'd aborted you.(serious)

 

[Billy D Williams]

At my birthday party a week back my sister threatened to murder me with a knife... but the really insulting part is that i got punished for it more than she did.

 

[strider2u]

Light: (after I stumble over a word) College boy isn't good enough for our normal words, are ya college boy?

Serious: Why aren't you answering? I know you don't do shit and don't have a life, so why aren't you answering Mr. I-don't-do-shit? (from someone who has no job and watches tv all day)

The most common one I get is for not dancing. Some people don't sky-dive, some don't shoot guns, some don't violently attack people, some don't commit check fraud; I don't dance. "You're never going to get laid or get a girlfriend - let alone a wife - if you don't dance" (from someone with 3 divorces). The whole extended family is in it now and have dragged me onto stage multiple times. I usually walk back to my chair and order another drink. I have no problem talking to women, and will die multiple times over from alcohol poisoning before you'll get me out on the dance floor.

Worst: You're just like your brother, all you kids are f**king lazy, useless, leeches.

"You are the whitest brother I've ever met..." -My grandpa (after "visiting" me for the first time after about 9 years)

My grandpa is one of those fathers that did whatever he wanted, even if he was married... Went through three marriages in total, with my grandma being the first one... And he still acts like he can just barge into your home unannounced and say that particular line to your face with the straightest of faces before leaving back to Texas...

*sighs* I question pending family reunions that start off this way...
