Females in Family

You simply can't escape females in the family - especially since biologically, only a woman can be your mother. And even if you DID have to grow up without your mother, you're still likely to have an entire army of aunts, in-laws, sisters, grandmothers, nieces, daughters...the list is endless, actually, and you'd have to deal with at least one of them sooner or later. On the off chance that you're one of those poor sods who had to grow up orphaned, we're sure that you have at least one or two women who have decided that you should be unofficially adopted into their clan. I haven't even mentioned the female family friends who are practically related to you by the sheer frequency of their presence in family dinners.

Needless to say, out of all the females you will ever have relationships with in your life, females in your family will most likely have the most power over you. Blood and emotional ties with female family members tend to trigger the "pack" instinct in men, the need to protect their own. What you have to understand is that you have a certain amount of power over them as well - in this section, we will discuss, when we should let the women in our family have their way, and when they shouldn't.
