Planning a Disneyland trip with your family should be as easy and joyful as picking out a pair of mouse ears. But throw in one sibling who’s got the temper of a haunted house and the unpredictability of a roller coaster with extra loops, and suddenly the group chat feels less like a vacation plan and more like a blueprint for escaping a mirror maze. You dodge explosive outbursts like errant bumper cars, and the only «core memory» most of you are hoping for is a day without another one of her sudden emotional plunges.
You can’t choose your family, but you can absolutely pick your battles and just how much drama you’re willing to sign up for before you run out of emotional snacks. There’s no shame in picking your peace, after all, life’s too short to let every invitation come with a side of chaos.
