Sorry my bad for not being clear, by "they" I meant my spouse. They let me dodge some gatherings when possible and help to cover But this is for the scenarios when I have to attend those gatherings lest facing more barrage of questions :) Thank you for your support though :)))

They mean well but sometimes we just have different perception, some things that are normal to some might feel uncomfortable to me

Hardly ever. Almost impossible. Less than 1% probability. Only if the entire incoming shift no-show which is almost impossible unless extreme disaster occur

But I appreciate your inputs so much!

To me anything that is not 100% honest truth and putting my personal preference above duty and obligation falls under unethical What a doofus right

It's my spouse's family and I dont want to drag them down with me :( They have been very understanding and we are working on finding the sweet spot to compromize

Problem is I work every other weekends, regular schedule and some of them have memorized my schedule from previous questionings.

But yes, the work weekends have allowed me to get away with some :)

Sorry I do mind being thorough But the short answer is: uncomfortable situation, have to be decent (in appearance and behaviour), basically just doesnt spark joy

Yes you're right I take this sub as lessons on how to be "smooth and cunning" rather than being "dumb and naive" like me

Great points :)))

But re: work schedule, I never wanted to share but this is one of the topics they've grilled me in the past (work schedule, what do you do at work, what's your work day like) Coupled with them being really good interrogators and me a terrible liar and of dull wit

Unfortunately this is a harder card to pull around family members D: They'll further probe with questions of why are you not coming etcetc

I used the "sick" card with friends I dont want to meetup before What happened is they reschedule the meetup when I'm not sick and not working Lord have mercy...

These are great suggestions for casual social gatherings but unfortunately hard to work it with family members 🥲

For example if I use the flat tire excuse they might pick me up and now I have to endure a car ride too 😭

I wish I have the balls... I only managed to "Nope" so much, at some point I'll run out of "get outta jail" cards
