We all might be relatives. Everyone in my family has plans in their head, but they don't share them. Mom plans lunch at 12:30. Sister plans to arrive around 12:30-1:00 expecting to socialize for a while when she and her family arrive. Brother wants to have lunch at 1:30 because of jet lag. But nobody shares that with anybody and then they lament the stress of the holidays.

And then they all act exasperated when I hammer home a plan in email after email, even when someone changed something in the previous email chain.
