Badly Written Romantic Comedy

Sometimes my life feels like a badly written (and often badly directed) Hollywood film. It has a cast of highly paid over-actors doing they're artistic director a favour by working on a very low budget movie. Let's meet the cast...
The Ex Wife
I have the ex wife and new boyfriend which still rips me apart to see to this day, over a year later. I can't explain the reasoning but my stomach still knots when I see either of them. Maybe my gag reflex has found a new way to express itself.
The Boss
Hailing straight from a certain Ricky Gervais sitcom (I use the term loosely, here), I have the ever contradictory boss who likes to confuse me daily with his instructions and criticism. It's very confusing to be chastised for not doing something right away in one breath then told to continue to not do the task right away in the next. However, I was paid a bonus this month at his discretion so I guess the criticism mustn't be too personal! It's not like I get any special attention anyway - he's equally critical of the entire office!
The Kids
I have a daughter destined for either Oxford or the greatest bank robbery of all time! She's too clever for her own good but likes to channel it into more devious / profitable ways. I must find a better place to hide the sweets.
I have a son who is determined to be the most feminine person he can! In all fairness I do nothing to discourage his cross dressing and girly ways because, frankly - it's the funniest thing I've ever seen a 2 year old do! I know I will live to regret the days I ever laughed at him walking in his sisters pretend high-heel shoes but I just can't help it!
The Chip Shop Girl
This is the romantic comedy aspect of things. We've been exchanging glances, laughing and joking about a few things and I can see she's a really cool, kind hearted girl. Definately worth a mild heart attack or a little obesity just to see her on a daily basis. But here's where it turns Hollywood disaster-esque! She's actually my friends sister! I had no idea! And to top it all, she's married! How he and her share the same gene pool is beyond me, they look nothing alike! His dad should be casting a suspicious eye over the milkman, postman or any domestic trades people who visited their house circa 23 years ago!
Ah well. Here's hoping the sequel is better than the first movie!

I don't know about you but I'm already excited about seeing this movie and we haven't even made it yet!
