[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We're traveling six hours to see my husband's family, which is what we do every Thanksgiving. My BIL spends any visit making snarky political comments since I'm the only liberal he knows personally. Normally I'm great at ignoring him and either leave the room or change the subject. However, my dad died two weeks ago, and I'm really brittle right now. I'm afraid I might throat punch BIL this year, as I'm not in the mood for his crap.[/quote] I'm sorry for your loss. Unless your BIL is total a-hole, consider pulling him aside at the beginning of the evening and just explaining this (or, having your DH explain this, since it's his brother). My family members who like to tweak people for their political beliefs "for fun" would absolutely back off in this scenario and would also appreciate a heads up in advance. Of course, if your BIL is a jerk, then this is not a helpful strategy.[/quote]
