Then & Now: Whatever Happened to Family Get-Togethers?

Remember when family visits were basically a weekly event?

In this episode of The Midlifers, we're taking a nostalgic trip back to the 80s and 90s and asking: whatever happened to extended family get-togethers?

We reminisce about weekends spent visiting cousins, Sunday dinners at Grandma and Nonna's, random knocks on the door, sleeping over at grandparents' houses, making up dances for the adults, playing games with cousins and being sent off to the park with absolutely ZERO adult supervision.

We also have a LOT to say about gift giving etiquette in our Don’t be a D!ck segment.

Should you open presents in front of the person who gave them to you? Do you have to pretend to like a terrible gift? Is regifting acceptable? What about homemade presents? And what happens when someone gives their teacher lingerie?! 😳

Plus, we're talking grocery shopping, the chores we absolutely hate, gift registries, Macca's memories and the things that make us realise we're officially Midlifers.

It's another big nostalgic trip down memory lane - with plenty of laughs, questionable childhood supervision and a reminder that sometimes the "good old days" really were pretty bloody good.

Listen, follow and let us know: What did you get away with when you were hanging out with your cousins?
