The 12 Worst Things About Going Home for the Holidays
Heading home for the holidays is super exciting. You imagine your sweet parents, their delicious food and your furball cat will be waiting at home, ready to greet you.
It isn't until you're actually home that the minor irritation sets in. And it isn't until the family holiday party that that irritation turns into a full-blown meltdown in the downstairs bathroom.
We share your pain. Take this list of the worst things about being home for the holidays as a token of our solidarity.
1. Three words: Twin. Size. Bed.
2. Your mom bursting into your room at 8 a.m. to ask what you want for dinner.
3. Awkwardly catching up with your parents' neighbors.
4. Running into people from high school at the supermarket and forcing small talk.
5. Perpetually needing a blanket because your parents keep the house at 10 degrees below zero.
6. Your dad harshly judging your taste in television...
7. ...even though all he wants to watch are CBS sitcoms.
8. Your parents asking, "Where are you going?" whenever you put on your coat.
9. Stumbling home from the bar and realizing that there are no greasy food places open after 9 p.m.
10. Raiding the fridge only to realize that your parents have adopted a sugar-free, fat-free, delicious-free diet.
11. Needing to get absolutely sloshed at the family party.
12. Family members judging you for getting sloshed at said party.
