19 things that only happen when you travel with your whole family

If there’s one thing that can be both chaotic and wonderful at the same time, it’s a family trip. The more members it has, the more drama, laughter, and of course, memories and stories to tell. Check out some unusual situations that (almost) always happen on trips like this!

1. Finding a date when everyone is free is just the beginning of this long saga

2. It takes all the skills we’ve developed with tetris to fit all the suitcases into the car

3. Do you have that relative who needs to go to the bathroom every half hour?

4. And that other person who makes a point of stopping for a snack on the side of the road

5. Not to mention the classic: “Is it coming? It’s coming? And now, is it coming?”

6. It’s pretty hard to make the playlist please everyone

7. But it’s even harder to get everyone to their destination without someone getting lost along the way

8. Deciding on the dish of the day is a big question

9. That’s why you end up with that amazing macaroni dish that makes everyone happy.

10. But there’s always a fight over who cooks the old family recipe better

11. It’s practically impossible not to hear that relative’s snoring in the other room

12. Because, yes, there are people sleeping in every corner of the house, including on the floor

13. There’s always a card or board game to distract people if it’s raining

14. There is also that uncle who overindulges in cachaça and ends up making a fool of himself

15. As well as that person who every time fights with someone and goes to sleep earlier than the others

16. There are the little questions we can’t stand to hear anymore at family gatherings

17. And the moment when the compromising stories from your past became the biggest joke

18. But that’s okay, because no one in your family is really normal anyway (and everyone knows it)

19. Making everyone fit in one photo is a mission – and the registration is worth all the effort <3
