| from Jen Hubley It's that time of year again. Time to gather around a table groaning with delicacies, gaze deeply into your loved ones' eyes, and think to yourself: Do I really like these people? And if not, why have I made them so much food? Now they'll NEVER go home. | | In the Spotlight | How to Get Along With In-laws Which is not to say that you have problems getting along with your family. I'm sure you and your family are the very best of friends. But maybe you know someone who could use some tips. In that case, pass these along. | | Blended Family Fun I don't think I know anyone anymore who has what could be called a "traditional" family - meaning one without step-siblings and step-parents and step-everything. This is great, actually, in the sense that more is merrier. However, whenever you mix two subcultures together, you're bound to get a clash, and every family is definitely its own culture. | Advice for New Grandparents My mother, a new grandmother herself, pointed out to me that grandparents have an especially tricky role. "You don't want to butt in," she said. "But on the other hand, you hate to think of them suffering without your wisdom." We all hate to think of that, Mom. (Totally kidding! OK, fine. Pass the egg nog.) | Sponsored Links | | | | Today Ads Advertisement | |
