      That sounds remarkably like my brother’s wife’s family.

      Her dad has some kind of problem swallowing chewy foods and has repeatedly nearly choked to death eating steak alone. He knows, laughs about how close to dying he was, then does it again a few months later. His wife and kids laugh about it too and never tell him to stop. They seem to have no concept of saving or planning for the future either for instance.

      I feel bad because my niece seems to be a bit behind in development too now, even though our family is all college educated (even 3 of my grandparents all born before 1920 went to actual college). My brothers a civil engineer, so hopefully that offsets some of the seriously dumb genes in the other half of her dna.
