magellanmax Posted November 15 Report Share Posted November 15 Anyone have probs with the family on holidays?? How do you deal with them?i screen and dont return phone calls.......or if push comes to shove, i answer the phone like they called a pizza parlor.but seriously tho, when it comes to family, i dont 'deal' with them, but cope...as much as we hate to admit it, we are a mirror reflecton of them..we just dont tend to see ourselves in the same light. i dont mind fighting with them from time to time.....gives me a sense of belonging.... i dunno if that made sense Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barraquilla Posted November 15 Report Share Posted November 15 I tend to avoid all holiday's except for christmas. That way i can use mass as an excuse to escape the bullshit, lol. what usually works is being the last to show up and the first to leave. being there for a short time really puts the kibosh on any chance of unpleasantness, because they still miss you and you're still happy you saw them when you leave.

Destiny Posted November 16 Author Report Share Posted November 16 lol im the debator, i'll sit there and if someone starts a debate with me, i will continue it for houuuuuuurs. i just dont like the whole, "you know, you and him have been together quite some time, when are you two....."good thing though, i volunteered as hostess when i was 7 and its been that way ever since. most holidays are at my house with my family, the rest of the family comes over. i manage to avoid most discussions/arguments/drama by putting out napkins, setting up the food, presents, dessert etc, however, its when we sit down to dinner where i want to rip my hair out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

i3itch Posted November 16 Report Share Posted November 16 i HATE holidays! my family and friends tend to get all sappy and shit during the holidays and pretend that they like everyone and what-not. what's the point in pretending for a few days? i know you hate me, i sure as hell can't stand you - why fake it?
