5+ hour road trip that accomplished nothing...

[Locut0s]

12. Most of my family holidays have been good. However...

However they have usually also been stressful. My mother has great difficulty spending money and doing so causes her stress. Add this stress to the usual stresses of being on vacation and her other constant anxieties and she can be difficult on holiday. I in turn am easily set off by my parents moods so it's not unusual to have a bad argument or two on almost every holiday trip we take, little blowouts and the like. It's never serious and always resolves itself but I don't think we've ever had a holiday without some small incident.
