STICKY REUNION SITUATION

  

TAKING FULL CONTROL OF THE PLANNING

 

Yay…our young people  want to get involved in planning the family reunion! However, they’re  asking for full control even though they’ve NEVER done any planning  before. We don’t  want to say okay which seems like we’d be setting them up to fail. We  also don’t want to say no. What’s the middle ground so that everybody’s  happy.


BILLY VARGUS with THE FIX:

  

Yes, the middle ground is where you want to be. So you can let the  young folks take the lead, but have some oldheads in an advisory  capacity. It will naturally develop that as the head of the  planning committee starts to get into the weeds, there will be  things they didn't anticipate, and they will naturally reach out for  someone who has more experience. So many families today have their  planning meetings on Zoom, so as long as one or two of the elders are in  on the calls, you should be good. Try not to interfere  or take over, unless you see they are going in a really problematic  direction.  Just let them know you are there if needed and wait for them  to ask you for help.
