The interpretation of the holidays caused Maud from Den Bosch a lot of irritation with her sister. “On Boxing Day we normally eat at my sister’s with the rest of the family. Now my father and mother are both in the risk group, so they prefer not to do that this year. Grandma doesn’t want to sit alone. And my sister thinks it all but convulsive and nonsense, “says Maud, whose entire name is known to the editors.
Maud’s sister would prefer to just meet up, Maud herself would rather be careful. “And my stepmother doesn’t understand why my sister wants to meet up because she is pregnant and should be careful,” she sighs. “After some irritation, we have now decided to end the Boxing Day.”
Agreement
According to psychologist, this friction cannot be prevented. “It is precisely corona, that very annoyance, that is our common enemy at the moment. Nobody has asked for it to make the holidays complicated. You cannot blame anyone in your family for this,” says Niks. “Whether you adhere strictly to the measures or you find it all exaggerated, everyone finds the situation unpleasant.
According to Niks, it is good to express that to each other. “If you notice together that nobody has asked for this, you can look further from there. The corona measures say nothing about your family relationship. By expressing this, you can remove insecurities in family members.”
