Family Feud

During weddings and funerals family emotions tend to run at an elevated rate. At which do you think there is more chance of a family feud?
 
With my family, it's usually the funerals. That's the only thing that EVERYONE attends. :)) Okay, I do realize it's not really funny. But, what can I say?
 
My first thought was funerals. Those then to split families because the deceased was most likely the glue that held the family together.
 
Ahhh, you folks might be right. Up North there is a lot of booze flowing at both, but generally weddings have more.
 
I'd think funerals, but seen a bit of emotion at both weddings and funerals.

Nothing outlandish has happened. Yet. I was pretty stressed at my son's wedding a year or so ago. First time I'd seen my ex in a while, and I was not a happy camper. Luckily, the wonderful Mrs. Mac was there to help me thru.
 
Funerals. If only I had nickel for every dead guys butt I'd kicked!!!

Funerals for sure...went through that when my sister died...

I have seen some families lose it at weddings to. Being a wedding coordinator I get to meet both sides of the families and sometimes it can get ugly :laugh

my aunt hasn't spoken to me since my brothers funeral cause I didn't put him in a suit ...he didn't own a suit and I wasn't gonna go and buy one. She also didn't pay for the funeral..I did

My mom and dad loved what we decided to put him in and that is all that mattered to me

I love my mom's side of the family but My dad's is no joke... I have removed my self from that drama and have never looked back... sad but true.
 
Definitely funerals. I've got some serious Alabama rednecks in my family - there was once a "discussion" at my uncle's funeral. The funeral had to be rescheduled because it conflicted with a NASCAR race in Talladega. Several family members who attended the race then wore their new NASCAR driver t-shirts (and their "good" jeans) to the funeral - apparently, supporting the wrong driver and wearing that t-shirt to a funeral is in bad taste. The out of town family sat inside with Uncle Willard (the deceased) while the rest of the family went outside to work things out.

PS: I stayed inside in case you weren't sure.
 
Funerals. Seems there's always the bunch who are chomping at the bit to get part of the inheritance of possessions.

Ugly!

I completely agree. I have seen many families divided for this very reason. It is very sad!

Or who was the bestie and who was the bad seed. I've actually seen a rather heated argument over who saw the deceased last. Fighting over Brownie Points is quite unbecoming. The arguments over "stuff" are even more so.

It's so sad. When my great grandmother died (my grandpa's mother) it was terrible. My grandpa was in the hospital with bladder cancer and didn't even know. The doctors advised we not tell him. We went to the funeral, and during the service, some of my mother's cousins were missing. Afterwards, we went to Granny's house and momma's cousins had cleaned the place out. Took everything. No matter what the will said, or what Granny wanted. Terrible.

When my grandmother died, we ended up having to take her new husband to court. He took everything that was in the house and was was selling it on ebay. We lost so much of my grandparents' things. Long story, but it caused a huge rift between my dad and his sisters. It is terrible the way people act when people pass away. :(

I have seen this on my Dad's side of family. I believed he died with a broken heart because of it. My siblings and I learned from this experience and I am so happy to say that none of that went on when my Mother passed. I have seen it in my husband's family. Greed, pure greed. So sad that is what a deceased' life means to some.

We recently saw a lot of this in a family we're close to. Some considerable wealth was involved...most of the kids didn't give a flip that their dad had died, they were just lined up for what they thought they would get.

Absolutely sickening!

But what they really got was a big surprise. Not much of anything. ;D
