Yes, the Mexican family is one loco family to be apart of, but it's also plenty of fun! Every one is invited to join the family festivities because if you're a friend you're close enough to be a brother! Bienvenidos!
The dreaded chancla, used as a tool to promote proper behavior in Mexican (and other Hispanic/Latin American groups) children. This is an effective method of obtaining a child's attention and ensuring the next words to leave the parents' mouth will be heard, if not, pow pow with the chancla.
Ask just about any hispanic child and they will know the terrible feeling of fear caused by la chancla. Also beware of El Cinto, just as deadly as the dreaded chancla, it will cause many behinds to be turned red and tears to be shed.

We all love our mothers, even if they do drive us crazy sometimes. Though no mothers are anything like a hispanic mom. They will say the funniest things and also some of the most outlandish.
An example is the image on the right, "Latinos be like, te llame como 100 veces! (I called you over 100 times!)
Other common sayings by moms are "todavia ni puedes voltear tortillas y ya quieres andar noviando?" (You can't even flip tortillas and you already want to go out dating?) and "Y a donde vas? Que cres que te mandas solo?" (Where do you think you're going? Do you really believe you're the boss of yourself now?).

Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed by thy name... wait wrong father. We're talking about Mexican fathers!
Mexican dads are often laid back and relaxed when not at work, especially on Sunday afternoons when their soccer games are on (I'm sorry, I'm getting into stereotypes). Just like normal dads they try to make sure their sons are hard working and manly young individuals and their daughters are the little princesses of the home. Looking at the visual to the left you can see just how dangerous it could get if you meet the father of your Mexican girlfriend. That wasn't a joke, run just run away.

All jokes aside, Mexican families are generally very loving and accepting, they'll lift you up when you're in low spirits (even if forcefully) and will constantly be there for you. They'll joke around with each other, for example call the skinniest child "gordo" (fatty) while they'll call the biggest kid"flaco" (skinny).
Family is everything to a Mexican, like often said, "blood over everything else." (And I don't mean in a murderous kind of way.)
