Hello all, it's been an interesting week. A pretty long week, actually, even though it's only Wednesday. That said, this week certainly won't be getting any shorter, so I guess I've just got to buckle in.
The next part of this blog is going to be a small rant disguised as words of advice. The advice in question? Don't bring up politics with the parents of the person you're dating! Just don't do it! It doesn't make you seem cool or bold, and definitely isn't likely to impress anyone!
I'd love to say that this advice just came to me, but no, this is a little more personal. One of my parents was in town for the long weekend, and took my boyfriend and I out to dinner. Politics came up about half-way through the meal, and I figured the conversation would gently be moved away from the topic within minutes, if not seconds. Alas, this was not the case. My boyfriend decided to get into an argument, instead. I literally had to send him two "cease and desist" texts, and kick him under the table three times before he shut up. I'm still baffled, why did he think that was a good idea? We've certainly been dating long enough for him to know better.
On one hand I get it, it's important to, and sometimes difficult not to, stand up for what you believe in. On the other, isn't this "what not to do around someone else's difficult family 101"?
Anyway, I'll probably be hearing about this for the rest of forever, so wish me luck.
