Family is like Wi-Fi—when it’s strong, it keeps everything connected, but at times, it can get weak or even (randomly) disconnect.

So since the holidays are getting closer and closer, we decided to put together a list of pictures showing how inconsiderate we can be to our closest loved ones.

Some depict simple everyday life situations and others highlight more serious moments but hopefully, they will remind you to be kind, cherish the little moments, and laugh together along the way.

Yesterday was my birthday and to celebrate i bought 2 slices of cakes after work for me to enjoy, but because it was late i put it in the fridge to eat later. I was a little stressed recently so when I got off work today i feel happy because im about to enjoy some cake which i havent had in a while, but when i open the fridge lo and behold my mom took a bite out of them. Yes she knew it was my birthday yesterday, no i dont think she cared. I might be a little overreacting but im feeling more than a little upset over it. I know its not a big deal but its just the principle of the thing, you know ? My mood was immediately shattered.

#51 I Have To Live With This

#53 My Brother Left My Original Super Nintendo Outside In A Box For Years

I’m actually heart broken. I left my original, working Super Nintendo and collection of games (that my late mother gave me) at my parents house when I moved in with my now husband. I assumed it was safe in the attic for the past 5 years. When I came home for Christmas this year my brother tells me it’s ruined.

He had used it at some point apparently, then brought it back to my parent’s and left it in the side yard in a plastic storage box. He said he’d “check on it periodically” but never told me it was there or moved it literally 20 feet into the garage. If he had just told me it was there I would have flown home just to move it to the attic myself. When he “checked on it” this year, the box had broken down and everything was ruined by water.

I’m so upset. Especially about the Dr. Mario. It was so special to my mom and I that I got a Dr. Mario tattoo the day after she died.

#54 My Mom Popped All My Coffee Pods

My mom popped all my keurig coffee pods, almost the entire box’s worth because “they were too full and it was kinda annoying to close the drawer” I would have just put them back in the box they came in if she asked. They’ll all go stale now and she doesn’t see the problem.

#65 I Was Working In The Icu During Christmas Dinner. My Family Sent Me Pictures Of The Feast And Were Saving Me Leftovers. Today I Received Those Leftovers

Not even a bun or a measly potato. I’ve missed a lot of family dinners in the past and usually they send me ham, turkey and plenty of sides. So it seems I was an afterthought this year. I know I should be grateful I got something but it still feels pretty bad.

#66 Gave My Younger Brother My Laptop So He Could Watch A Movie On Netflix, Here’s How He Returned It An Hour Later

#79 Brother Went Over My Paint Work In The Bathroom While I Was Away

I have been renovating the bathroom at our family home, and went away on holidays for a week. Coming back today and my little brother went over my work, because he found the pyramids to be agressive, apparently he was blaming it for his difficulty to find sleep and turned it into an obsession. I’m really pissed.

First image is a photoshop preview, second image is my brother’s job on removing the pyramids.

#96 Mom Called My Job To Tell Me To Lie About An Emergency For An Event, Now I Have To Report To My Supervisor Tomorrow

I am in the US Air Force and my mom had called my tech school to tell my MTL that I needed to call her. I was in class and I get my phone every evening. Now my MTL wants to talk to me tommorow about the message. I just passed my inspections and supposed to upgrade next week. I literally joined to get away from her and now she’s telling me to lie to my MTL and tell them that my uncle got in a car crash even though it’s for my brothers graduation which I can’t go to because I have school and she knows that. This infuriates me so much.
