Sure, a lot of families are great. But sometimes it’s a different story when you have to deal with them on the holidays. If dealing with your family over the holidays is quite the struggle, look no further. We’ve got you covered with a few suggestions on how to deal with your family this Thanksgiving.Â
1. Take a deep breath (and another one, and another one until it calms you down.)
2. Volunteer to help out in the kitchen- help set up, get drinks for relatives, anything to get you away from awkward questions and judgment. Just be careful when cooking.Â
3. Stuff your face with food to avoid answering awkward questions.
4. Try to think of Black Friday and all the fun things you’ll buy the next day.
5. Don’t be confrontational or sensitive. Just accept your family as they are and try to still have a fun Thanksgiving. Just see the positives like good, non-dining hall food.Â
