Sometimes it's very worth it. However, not when it's my 83 yo mother. I hate it when she cries..
One of my pet peeves is when one adult rescues another in that emotional sense. My response can be rather savage,with an obscenity or ten. Besides, fights are a traditional part of craics. The trick is to try to only insult arseholes you don't like anyway.If one has a large extended family as I do, there's always at least one handy. I try to avoid upsetting anyone who is going to punch myr lights tout and stomp on my testicles.(that rules out most of the women)
Actually,I have no need to be at a family gathering;I have the well honed ability to irritate the fuck put of perfect strangers.
