The person to blame for all of the Stanley bad luck was his no-good-dirty-rotten-pig-stealing-great-great-grandfather. All the Yelnats named their boy Stanley which is the backward spelling of Yelnats.
Stanley and his father blame a family curse for their bad luck. This curse originated from an ancestor who stole a pig and was subsequently cursed by a gypsy. They believe this misfortune has been passed down through generations, affecting their lives and causing a series of unfortunate events. As a result, they feel trapped in a cycle of bad luck that they attribute to this ancestral curse.
Stanley's bad luck is blamed on his "no-good-dirty-rotten-pig-stealing-great-great-greandfather," Elya Yelnats. Elya failed to repay Madam Zeroni for the pig she gave him, and he and is descendants were cursed as a result.

Stanley Yelnats' family has a history of bad luck due to a supposed family curse placed on them by a fortune teller named Madame Zeroni. This curse originated when Stanley's great-great-grandfather failed to fulfill a promise to her, leading to generations of misfortune for the Yelnats family. This theme of bad luck is central to the novel "Holes," as it intertwines with Stanley's journey and the eventual breaking of the curse. Ultimately, the story suggests that perseverance and friendship can overcome even the most entrenched misfortunes.
That is all superstition. Bad luck and good luck are fictional.
Madame Zeroni, and it really isn't a curse.
Stanley's family justified their bad luck by believing it was a result of a family curse, which they attributed to the actions of Stanley's no-good “great-great-grandfather.” They thought that his ancestor had stolen a pig, leading to generations of misfortune. This belief in the curse gave them an explanation for their struggles and misadventures, reinforcing a sense of helplessness in the face of their challenges. Ultimately, it served as a way for them to make sense of their circumstances.
There is no "bad luck" and the superstition of a mirror breaking bringing bad luck comes from the middle ages. So, don't worry about it you haven't gotten bad luck. All of us make our own luck.
