When family is beefing

Sometimes it isn’t you who has an issue with any given family member, but two family members you like can’t stand each other. If you aren’t careful, they will let their stuff spill all over you. “Make sure that the issues they have with each other do not impact you, and do not impact your relationship with each of them,” Jackson advises. “So it’s important to let both parties know, ‘Hey, I’m very close with this person over here, and with this person over here. There isn’t going to be any tit for tat. You’re not going to be able to disrespect that person in front of me. And I won’t allow that other person to talk smack about you either.”
