What Are You Doing Right Now

[WalshFan88]

Cheer up Austin.
that's called family time.
You don't get to choose your family only your friends..lol and since your friends ususally have your common intrests they are m ore fun.
Try and enjoy it anyway sweetie,,,,,at least you are all together.
some families aren't ,

It's hard for me to enjoy a subject I hate with a passion, but I get what you are saying...

It's just that I'm the only one here who doesn't like sports and I feel left out and bored.

I wasn't upset much (exaggerating) but rather just bored and kind of like watching paint dry for me. I just tend to get a bit tired with sports talk.

I'll be glad when football season is over.

I got sick think maybe a throat infection or bronchitis again so I am staying home tomorrow not going to my sister for xmas rest of the family will watch HOTE on Showtime since I will be alone

There are a few advantages to not being well HH! Wrap up and enjoy HOTE.

Sounds like an ipad, tablet or laptop is in order here, Austin!

I don't do football either, but the rest of my immediate family and hubby's family are fanatics, so I usually go do something else. And yes, enjoy your family while you can, cause they won't always be there.

So true, Brooke. Whenever I start to get impatient with my family, I remember that we need to treasure them while they're here. My father is extremely conservative and while I'm no liberal (although he accuses me of it lol), I disagree with many of his views. I never let it get heated, though; I back off when he starts getting worked up because he's my dad and I don't want him to be upset. We can "agree to disagree." He has the same attitude - when my lesbian cousin, who is now officially married, comes over with her wife, they are treated with respect, love, and acceptance regardless of political views.

My younger sister is coming with her family today, and she can get a bit emotional sometimes over even small disagreements. Again, when I see her getting worked up, I back off and let it be. Is it really that important to try and prove that I'm "right"? Do I really have to give my opinion on everything, even sensitive subjects that I know will upset family members? Nope. Not just at Christmastime, but all year round, this is my rule whenever I visit family.

My older sister and younger sister are very much alike, and when they get together... well, let's just say they don't share my attitude. Drama galore! But in the end, they too realize - you gotta remember we're family.

I think about it this way. 20 years from now, I probably won't have many of the same friends that I do now... but I'll still be related to the same people! I keep that in mind.

So very true, Soda. As one of the more 'senior' members here, I can speak from experience. That's what I always remind my nieces and nephews about when they get frustrated or try to put their friends on a pedestal. Family first - friends come and go, but your family will always be there for you when it matters most.
