AGPHTH

[dreamwaffles]

So, I was just reading something on Autostraddle, like I do, and suddenly for the first time I seriously thought about bringing a significant other home with me to Thanksgiving or Christmas.

Me being me, this (currently hypothetical) significant other would also be female.

My family being my family...

1: where can I rent a helicopter team for immediate extraction if necessary?  I like to have these things planned well in advance.
2: omma go hide under the piano RIGHT NOW until I stop freaking out.

It... can't get much more awkward than it already is? Plus, maybe your parents' "we are more polite in company" thing would hold true even if "company" was "your girlfriend". Also I'd be totally willing to accompany you to provide moral support and distraction. ♥

(also, do you... often... hide under the piano? O.o)

Dad's...not...always polite, is the thing. Just...usually.

And then the passive aggression towards me would hit the *roof* and basically I'm not doing this until I move out.

(eh, not really. Usually it's my desk but there's a box in front of my desk. And by 'hide under things' I usually mean 'go downstairs and watch Granada Sherlock Holmes' anyway.)

Oh, I'm not saying you should. Just that if you did, I would be there to run interference for you. ((hugs))

Sherlock Holmes is always a good solution. When in doubt etc etc. ;)
