• This is an unwritten contract of family gatherings: the more you care about your belongings, the more likely you are to be labeled uptight. In the grand tradition of group celebrations, personal property is fair game for sticky fingers and curious minds, and the phrase it’s just a toy is the universal excuse for any act of destruction. The expectation is that the host will absorb all collateral damage with a smile, sacrificing peace of mind for the fleeting joy of group photos and party favors.

• When chaos inevitably erupts, the blame rarely lands on the parents who ignored the rules, but on the one person who dared to expect a shred of respect in their own home.
