Yeah, this time I was close to a meltdown. Hard to understand (by now I think impossible for them) and loaded with prejudice. But we will find a way, I guess.
Thanks, although my situation with own family is different your ideas might still apply. Especially being/keeping busy. Maybe it's a good idea or worth a try to involve myself more (thereby being busier) instead of trying to keep out somehow and still be there.
I updated the post. I mean the trouble of new year's eve directly. It's loud and busy. Lucky for anyone living in circumstances to be able to just not participate but our street is loud and busy and family demands at least a little participation.
Some German perspective - happy new year btw - I would also like a ban because it's a huge litter mess and because people can't behave (pick up their trash) as well as a huge issue for all animals, be it pets or wildlife. Central fireworks or something would benefit all imo.
And of course the nights around new years are a large burden on all emergency services.
But line went up so by financial standards he is very successful.
(yes, I hate it too and it should be changed)
