Ratchet Relatives That Can Make the Holidays a Hot Mess
The Family Member Who Doesn’t Understand That People Change…
Maybe last time someone saw you, you were half your size, had long luxurious hair (that you bought) and clear skin. Now they see you a bit stressed out and bigger, with a natural cut that’s REALLY short and some acne. Instead of playing nice and just making a mental note of your changes, they want to know: “What happened?” Ouch much? That’s like saying, “you were once so cute, what went wrong?” to someone whose feelings you should be a bit more cognizant of. Now, if these changes happened seemingly overnight in their eyes and they literally did occur in a short span of time, then it might be okay to worry, but if they haven’t seen you in years? Just tell them, “Hey, what can I say? Times change and so do people!” Let them know you’re good and leave it at that.
