Dreading seeing “that” family member during holidays? Read this.

With the holidays fast approaching, now is a good time for us to talk about that certain family member you might be dreading talking to at your next big family gathering.

Almost all families have at least one person who always seems to be at the center of an argument, emotional drama, or the one dropping judgemental comments every chance they get.

Angry uncle? Grouchy grandma? Cousin who loves to stir up a heated debate?

We know this kind of family drama can make it tough to even look forward to the holidays when you’d much rather avoid a messy encounter. Obviously, the election year will have a huge impact on many Thanksgiving and Christmas family dinners.

We’re big believers in going into a hard situation as prepared as possible. So here’s a link to a great article that has solid advice for how to deal with a difficult family member. Hopefully, some of these ideas and tips will help us sidestep the drama without getting pulled into the role of referee, which is also super stressful.
