Listen "40. Reframing "Annoying" Questions & Comments from Friends & Relatives During the Holidays"
Episode Synopsis
There's been a lot of noise on social media lately about how to prep yourself to answer "annoying" questions and comments from friends and relatives. The questions that tend to come up repeatedly at once-a-year gatherings. Questions like...Is your baby sleeping through the night yet?When are you having another one?Is she a good baby?There seems to be widespread agreement that these comments are overly intrusive, thoughtless, or just plain irritating.While I understand the sentiment, here's the truth...Most of the time, people ask these same-old questions not to be rude, not to annoy, and not to offend.They're just trying to connect.THAT is a gift.And it doesn't serve us to reject a gift merely because it comes in imperfect verbal packaging.In this episode, I'm inviting you to think against the grain and step out of the negative narrative that social media is feeding you. It is a blessing to be so loved that people attempt to connect with you and your family, however awkward it may be.Scripture references:1 Corinthians 13:4–7
