 Feeling kinda bummed.  I have a couple of family members that dont get along, and they were supposed to come tomorrow, along with some others.  But they are really at each other's throats right now, and i just dont want the drama in my home.  I told them they can all stay home unless they work their shit out for at least one day, while they're here.  This is not a new situation, its been going on for many years.  I live a peaceful life, and i have often allowed their fighting to ruin my day, many times over the years.  I just dont want that shit here.  Thats the reason i am grateful for "the family we choose",  the amazing friends we have in real life, and the friends we "know" online, especially here on nostr.  Just wanted to vent a little.  #family #FriendsWeChoose https://image.nostr.build/f4e252710edecbc6745538928b8f6f2f92b50bf8448b04a4972143d41133f73e.jpg

 My door-slamming urge is twitching just hearing about it. 
 Yep. 
 This is 100% the proper response. 
 Yeah. It's very efficient. 
 And only have to do it once. Because of their inclination towards drama, you’re now the outcast that’s avoided in the future. 
 Good for you sticking up for yourself 🫡🫡 
 That's a bummer but if you get them together you should carry around a set of yellow and red cards and whistle like a football (soccer) referee. You get a warning or your given a red and sent off the property, you could even use the AR to get there attention 😁
