Peaceful family moments … My family tried to start a group chat to “stay connected.” Within five minutes, Dad muted it, Mum left it, and my sister reported it as spam. Honestly, it was the most accurate representation of our family dynamics yet.

My family tried doing one of those DNA ancestry tests together. We were all excited until the results came back. Turns out the only thing we truly share is disappointment in each other.

My family tried to have a peaceful car ride by agreeing that no one would complain. It worked beautifully until Dad said, “If no one complains, does that mean I can sing?” The complaints soon came thick and fast.

My family decided to start a “gratitude circle” at dinner. Everyone had to say one nice thing about each other. The circle ended abruptly when my brother said, “I’m grateful this will be over soon.”

My family held a meeting to “improve communication.” Everyone agreed to speak openly and honestly. Five minutes later, we unanimously agreed never to do that again.

My family tried having a “quiet morning” so everyone could relax. It ended the moment Mum shouted, “If this house gets any quieter, I’m going to start checking who’s up to no good!”
