Journal Justin
So my family is harassing me about Holidays already, demanding that I take off to be with them because I am a Fletchley and I cannot miss two Christmases in a row. It is my duty to attend and would I please bring a lovely girlfriend/fiancée this time. I'm 24 and shouldn't still be single. Ah well..

On the other hand, Grandmère has been leaving messages for me to call her back saying it's important. Turns out they want to see me too for the Holidays and I could bring a nice boyfriend this year too.

Guess where I'll spend my Holidays? ~~Without the boyfriend though~~

[Ernie]

Ernie, I feel terrible.

	I considered all options for Father's family which included a fake girlfriend, a fake boyfriend or not bringing anyone. But then I remembered what it was like last time and I decided to go see the Finches instead and I'll bring Ernie with me. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	That sounds like a plan. I'm obstinate. If I didn't have anyone, she would have to suck it up (and I might have to suffer a blind date, depending). (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Finches are not like that, really and she knows that Ernie is my best mate and not my boyfriend. She just wants the best for me and apparently it's not good for me to be single. Fletchleys want me married and kids because that's how to expand a House. Ah! I'm not losing sleep over this, I have 3 cousins, they should be enough. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	That's good. Grandmother just likes to control things. Grandfather has become a bit more laid back. They're not on my back too much about the kids thing yet. Well. Except Grandmother. But that's been practically since puberty, so I'm used to it. Do what makes you happy though. That's the important thing. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	What's with grandmothers and wanting everyone to have children? My own Mother isn't in a hurry to see me have kids. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	More gossip if they get great-grandchildren. Bragging rights, maybe? Plus they like to manipulate us for fun. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Oh that could be why!! The Fletchleys are very much into manipulation and control. But hey, I'm here aren't I? One day I shall break free! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	You can do it! (Reply to this) (Parent)
