Well I'm sure many people know that the true key to insanity is family whether it's your own or your spouses. If you really want to go so far insane that there is no turning back all you have to do is follow a few simple steps.

1. Go out to lunch with your mother and your mother in-law. Actually listening to their conversation when it turns to critiquing either you or eachother and really think about what they're saying. When you start to think they're right and you should change somethings or when you're siding with either of them on certain points when they're attacking eachother is when you have sucessfully completed your first step.

2. Try to have your father teach you something that you already kinda know how to do. For instance if you think you know how to fix your toaster but your not sure about one little thing invite him over and go through the process with you. It is an almost sure thing that you will be doing it all wrong and they will show you the right way. When your toaster explodes later after they redid everything the 'right' way you should feel steam coming out of your ears as you are on the way to buy another toaster.

Like the aunt that you have met maybe twice but she has a firm opinion on you whether she has tried to back it up or not. When you know what they really think about you then they come over and hug you at family events or call and check up on you guys around the holidays you should feel a twinge in you brain that lets you know you're closer.

4. Spend quality time with you're family during times of the year when it's not the holidays. During the holidays everyone feels like they have to be nice and they don't really let you know how they feel about certain things. Some do but many don't. When they start in on you about your job and why haven't you gotten that promotion yet or why aren't you going to school to really do something with your life instead of actually loving the job that you have think about it. When you see their side and how you will never really be happy until they stop nagging you about something after all you can still do the things that you love when you're not working.

5. Think back on all the time that you spent doing things that they wanted you to do and you thought it would make them leave you alone or at least pacify them but then they center in on something else. You should realize
