Me too!
I'd *guess* it was a blood relative, because I've seen time and again people apply a different set of etiquette with the outside world than to their enmeshed family. Always made me wonder about what went one behind closed doors in those households when children were young and supposedly being educated in right and wrong behavior.
So CJ, younger sibling/nephew/child? Daft parent? Am I totally off-base? (The scenario in my mind had been the former+graduation, but after hearing you apply "them/they", I'm wondering if the GC was a milestone anniversary-- for a guilt-tripping, entitled "adult" and spouse?)
