Keep your visiting dates short and sweet
Stay in a hotel or air b & b if you can afford it
If you are are staying with family, be a gracious house guest
Always take a nice token gift to give host (tea, chocolate, scented candles, etc)
Be prepared for uninvited question about your life from family who mean well
Schedule time for you e.g take naps, long walks
Prepare for unsolicited advice to tackle life’s challenges
Careful with your words- once said, can't unsay them - pick your battles
Distractions are great to diffuse tension - games e.g board games, cards, PS4, etc
Always have a wing person at events with secret signs for danger and good to go
Graciously thank the host for all their hard work.
