Come Home for the Holidays as an Adult, Not a Kid

For some of us, these dynamics aren’t pleasant.

We all learned to play “our part” in the family dynamic as children.

Whatever role we took on, we got really good at it!

The best way to avoid this situation is to mix up your typical pattern at home.

If you had a usual seat at the table when you were a kid, pick a different spot.

If you typically set the dinner table, clean up the dishes instead.

You get the idea.
