Dear Jazzy –
Is it okay to spend Christmas with my boyfriend’s family instead of mine? My mother says that’s selfish, but his family treats me nicer than my own family does. — Conflicted Sophomore
Dear Sophomore,
Your mom in a way is right, maybe you should spend the morning with your family, then after you open gifts and do whatever it is you do, go to your boyfriend’s house and spend the rest of the time there. Just to let you know, I’m going to do the same thing. It’s not really selfish as long as you spend a little time with your family because they are important also. Have fun!
Jazzy
MORE ADVICE FOR SOPHOMORE:
Dear Conflicted Sophomore,
I can understand that you want to be with your boyfriend and his family but you also have to remember your family, especially during the holidays. Family is always at the top of every list because they will always be with you. The only advice I can give you is maybe instead of being with your boyfriend for Christmas, you could go to his house on the 24th and spend Christmas day with your family. That way everyone is happy.
Signed, Peace
Dear Conflicted Sophomore,
I think you should try to share your time. Maybe in the morning you can spend Christmas with your family, but in the evening you can spend time with his family. Just tell you mother that you would like to share your time & you’re not trying to be selfish
