I have no interest, DC doesn't want to sleep away from our house, would probably mess up DC's sleep schedule. My parent wants us to go. Also concerned that mentally ill relative could spur argumentative conversation bad for DC. Am I obligated to attend? |
You know the answer is no. Say no. |
No but you have to have the courage to say no to your parents and then stand behind your statement. |
You're an adult. You don't have to do anything you don't want to do. |
Say no. Either blame finances or work of you don't know how to explain your reasoning. |
I'd tell them what you told us.
I don't think white lies are productive in the long run. |
