Question: Spending Time with Family members? I don't exactly like my family. {This includes aunts, uncles, cousins} It's not that they aren't friendly or anything, but they're just...too loud and obnoxious for me. All they ever do is sit around and talk! And about the most boring stuff!! It probably doesn't help that besides the babies, i'm the youngest one there!  They talk about work and college and pots and pans and house stuff..What I would rather be doing, is talking to my Friends about problems and issues that are going on with me and them.  Oiy..how am I supposed to handle a family that has interests completely different from mine?

Answer: it's hard when you are the only young PERSON there - but, you don't see them everyday - and, if you just have to put up with them occasionally, you'll have to try.  why not bring something to read, listen to music, even bring a friend with you when you go for company.   life is what YOU make it - so bring something along with you that makes you happy.  hang in there, pretty soon the age difference will not seem all that bad - and you'll find that you are catching up to them and you may even have some things in common with them.  make it a happy day for yourself - because YOU are the only one who is ruining HER day.
