You all know them. Those times that you are forced to go out with parts of your family that embarras you in front of everyone else. This weekend it was one of those moments again and I certainly did not enjoy myself.
Yesterday, it was a quiz at my brother's school and my two aunts, my mom, my cousin, my sister and me joined as one group. I didn't want to, because of the struggle we had last year, but they already signed us up and it was too late to drop out. I knew what I could expect and unfortunately, I was not wrong.
My aunt was very stubborn and her answer was always the right one, while many times someone else of our little group was correct. My sister was tired of it and started to be stubborn too. As I already said, I did not enjoy myself at all.
Today was another piece of horror. It was dinner day at my school and with the same group, now including my dad and brother too, we went to have a bite. There was this teacher and I told my brother and aunt that he was 45 and not married yet, still living with his mother (I will be the female version of him in 30 years, but okay). My aunt isn't married either and they were all the time, literally ALL the time, saying things like 'oh, (...), come here sexy beast'. Thankfully he didn't hear it, I would have literally changed schools to not have to face him again. It was embarrasing and I was ashamed of them.
Okay, this might not sound to bad to you, but it really was.
But how can you avoid embarrasing family scenes?
1. Say you have other things to do. Homework, papers to finish, weekend jobs... everything to not go with them on a trip.
2. Go to the bathroom if you feel the situation is escalating and stay there as long as you think it is necessary to avoid the climax of the shame.
3. Try asking them to stop. They should know they are embarrassing you like hell. If this doesn't work, walk away and don't return. They'll know it became to much for you.
This was another boring blog post of mine, I promise they'll get better. See you later alligator!
