Dear Katie & Kelly,

Every year, my brother and his family show up late for Christmas dinner. Last year he was almost 2 hours late. I almost lost it last year on him but my mom begged me not to say anything and ruin Christmas. I don’t think I’ll be able to hold myself back this year. Is it fair that he is so rude and we all have to take it? I’m a Classic Structure.

Dear Fuming,

The fact that your brother’s tardiness upsets you leads us to believe you actually know people with brothers who show up on time for Christmas dinner. Who knew? Our beloved brother (an Organic Freedom) is always late but man does he feel bad when he is. He’s like a golden retriever; it’s impossible to be angry with him. Sounds like you don’t have a golden retriever but maybe a Smart Freedom or a Fun on your hands, so our best advice to you is to tell him dinner is about 2 hours earlier than you plan. This way he’ll probably only be 15 minutes late.

Merry Christmas!
Katie & Kelly
