Relationship with the Griffin family
Joyce Kinney does not have very close relations with the Griffin family, the only family member she with which does not get along is Lois, because the joke that she has done in high school. Joyce was traumatized to the point of wanting revenge and reveal to everyone that Lois Griffin starred in a porn movie. When Lois was forgiven by Quahog, Joyce he was not at all pleased, and he was still sitting there in front of her to boil with rage. It is possible that you and she have made peace, but there is no evidence to prove it.

In the opening, singed by the Griffin family, also Joyce makes her appearance, where she dances with the other characters.

Joyce also came at Brian's funeral and she seemed really sad. However, this event will be altered by Stewie saving Brian from the car.

With Peter things go in a different way. At beginning the two are not very well, in fact she is aware of sexist cartoon that made Peter, but he, instead of apologizing, does nothing but say the usual nonsense, typical of the character. However, when Peter will defend the Pawtucket Patriot Ale beer, Joyce and all other citizens of Quahog will forgive him. At Peter's Roast, you seem laughing at jokes made by Peter's Friends, but it is just a game after all, however, Peter believes he is humiliated and ridiculed.
