Dysfunctional Family Bingo

[TanyaS]

Dreading your next family holiday?

May I suggest a game of Dysfunctional Family Bingo?

DH was dreading going to Christmas dinner, so he made up a Bingo card with all the potential pit-falls that might occur during the get together. Whenever something happened that had a spot on the card, DH and I would look at each other and make a little discrete check mark motion. It totally turned the dread of waiting for bad things to happen around to where we were almost hoping they would!

As it happened, it was a pretty quiet Christmas lunch and neither of us got Bingo, but we will definitely be doing this again at the next family gathering!

So, if you are dreading the uncle who gets drunk and or the BIL who makes racist comments, just turn them into a spots on a Bingo card. Makes family dysfunctions much more fun!

Too funny! I moved 1,000 miles away from family, but there were years a "cover-all" was possible.

dh's parents are constantly talking about being old, needing a nap, etc.... (they are both in their early sixties and in fine health.) So we decided to each make a guess how many times it will be mentioned during our visit. Whoever is the farthest from the guess has to do a shot.

Of course after a visit, we often times BOTH need a shot of something......
