Sometimes we want to get away from our families, but the group chat pulls us back in. Maybe it’s for practical purposes, like figuring out when the cat was last fed or who is picking you up at the airport for the reunion. Maybe you get sucked in by the drama. Lord knows, family group chats are a hot bed of drama! You say you’re leaving, but you just keep crawling right back.
One positive thing about the family group text trap we should consider more often is how they’re like a perfect time capsule of what makes you into who you are. All the supportive parents, the wild aunts, the snarky siblings. You blend together to make one insane whole that can be easily screen grabbed and shared with the Internet. For which we thank you, because these tweets are hilarious:

The Gordon family group chat 10 minutes before any one of us boards a flight deserves its own Hallmark Channel movie.
