The holidays are a stressful time. Most people are racing to get done with work before taking time off and the time they take off is usually spent traveling, shopping, decorating or doing some other non-relaxing activity.
But the holidays are also supposed to be a time we spend with family, and seeing family can be either a nice diversion or an added layer of stress, depending on what your relatives are like.
If they’re toxic, like the parents on Reddit’s r/InsaneParents, then it’s probably going to be pretty stressful.
