The best way is to keep yourself calm. If you find something is wrong and one is forcing it on you. Don't react at the same time rather wait for that person to become normal then make your point clear to him/her . Give a few reasons to make that person feel that your point is clear. It will help in reducing problem in between you two. Moreover it will enhance trust in between you and that family members resulting in further reduction in conflict between you and that member.

Family stress is hard to deal with but there is always a way to alleviate it. One is don't expect to much from the member of your family. We are unique individually so each and one of us has limitations. We want everything in life to come easy and connect to each member of the family smoothly with no hassle but that is not always possible. As our children grow older they change, often in a surprising ways and you need to learn how to accept that. By accepting that changes, you can understand their concerns and point of views.

Family stress is hard to determine as different things have different meaning to individual. I think a change will be good to reduce the stress. But then of course it takes time and personal commitment for things to change. This is what I found: determine the maximum amount of stress that you can handle, and do not exceed it. Learn to say 'no' to activities that do not have to get done. Do the best that you can, no one is perfect. Try to fit in physical activity for 30 minutes at least 3 days per week. Talk to a friend or family member when you are stressed. Lastly, laugh! Humor can help ease almost any situation.
