This summer, I saw both sides of my family and noticed something that always happens with each side...

My father's side of the family comes from Brabant, a very outgoing and high-energy part of the Netherlands (generally), so we get loud and slightly obnoxious to anyone not involved. My mom, on the other hand, who comes from a slightly rigid and strict upbringing, cannot handle the noise and secretly very much want to go home but can't get my dad away from his seven brothers, two sisters and about a million nieces and nephews :')

Everyone gets sick. It's a tradition that's been happening at least since my mom was a kid. She had a family reunion where everyone had the stomach flu and got chicken pox afterwards. As far as I can remember, we've had family gatherings where everyone got pink eye and bronchitis. Once we all prayed no one would get sick during our family gathering, and no one did. But my cousin's got lice. This is a family tradition I hope will end.

On my dad's side, someone will probably end up starting a game of dominoes or spades. On my mom's side, there will probably be some sort of argument.

Lots of stupid board games (for the kids), talking about coding and such (for some adults), talking about who knows what for everyone else. And usually someone ends up coming late or leaving early.

More DUIs than people in the room, I don't have any (I don't drink) and am the odd ball.

Our daughter will remind everyone she is a vegan. (We know, that is why there are vegan dishes prepared for you.)
My father-in-law will describe his grand plan for a BBQ/pizza oven in his back yard. The same one he has been planning for at least 10 years.

my mom and my uncle always get into a hopeless argument about politics and my uncle wins because he's a lawyer.

On one side, dancing, cornhole tournament, tables of games and coloring for kids. Lots of guilt being slung about. Chocolate popcorn, good food.
Other side over-polite dinner conversation, ridiculously bland food.
