HOLIDAYS WITH THE IN-LAWS AND OUTLAWS

Someone has said that the difference between in-laws and outlaws is that outlaws are wanted. Sometimes this tends to become evident during the holidays.

STEP 3: RE(SOURCE) YOUR HEALTH

NOTES:

With the holiday season upon us it may be good to pay attention to dealing with extended family.  Here are some pointers:

  1. Enter with a positive attitude this year. Acknowledge what is good and make positive comments on those things.

  2. Establish boundaries.  Good fences make good neighbors and good family.

  3. Remember you can do anything for a short period of time. 

  4. Negotiate a truce on things you disagree on beforehand. Some topics are just best to stay away from.

  5. Take ownership. It is not ‘your family’ but ‘our family’. 

  6. Give adult time outs. Plan to spend some time alone or with just the people you want to be with. A walk or running an errand can be a helpful break.

  7. Plan some positive activities that are fun. Arrive with some activities (family photo album or scrapbook) or do an outing that will be enjoyable.

  8. Protect and nurture the most intimate relationships. When outer relationships, such as extended family, threaten the inner relationships prioritize the relationships that are the closest.

  9. Laugh together. Either laugh with or laugh at the situations that come up.

  10. Have a plan. Be proactive.

Holidays with extended family don’t have to be negative if they are approached with positive attitudes and actions.
