Hi I was wondering if you could please help me or if you had any suggestions for me. I just got home from work, I was at work from 7 until 4 and honestly it has been a really long, exhausting week I am so tired and like pmsing a little bit. I know that family comes first but I am supposed to go to a family get together tonight and I have to go but I really don't want to because I want to spend time with my boyfriend and relax not see my family, which I can already say is not going to be fun at all. My Grandma is so annoying and bitchy and I am so tired and I just don't want to deal with her or the rest of the situation tonight. So I was wondering if anyone has any suggestions about how to make tonight better?(since I have to go) Thank you

Put on a happy face and pretend you're enjoying yourself... Your grandmother won't be around forever, enjoy the time you have with her.

You don't have to do anything you don't want to do. Just contact your family and explain that you are extremely stressed out and that you need some quiet time. Say that you love them dearly and hope they understand your situation, and that you also hope everyone has a great time. A few feelings might get hurt but sometimes you have to do what you think is best for yourself. "To thine own self be true."
Been there, done that.

Go to the family gathering, but leave early. You will be glad you went and still be home in time to get plenty of rest.

let everyone know that you had a really bad week, and that you might be bowing out a little early. be grashious, and if your grandma gets on your case, try singing in your head, while noddeing and smiling.
good luck!

Well you can just grin and bear it - lol.
No really I have that kind of family. I just learned to go along with whatever is said and shake my head positively (not really agreeing) to keep things as smooth as possible.
Good Luck.

Just try to be thankful that you have your own place, your own life, and a nice boyfriend. Find a comfy chair and eat. Tell yourself you are an oasis of calm.

Ask your parents if you can take your boyfriend with you.
