10 Things You Get Away with Because You’re Family, as Told by the Kardashians

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at UCD chapter.

Continuing our series on what we get away with when we’re surrounded by the people we love and bother the most, we’ll take a look at what goes on at home with our parents, siblings, cousins, and more. What better than to receive advice from the most famous Hollywood family of our time, the Kardashians?

1.       You don’t sugarcoat the love advice to scare them into taking action.

2.       You tell each other the truth, even when you know it’ll hurt.

3.       You admit you don’t have the answers they’re looking for.

4.       You drop fights as quickly as you start them and know they’ll understand.

5.       You can get away with talking about the most bizarre subjects.

6.       You secretly coin their phrases for you and use them yourself.

7.       You publicize something they probably didn’t want you to find in the first place.

8.       You ask them to steer you in the right direction because sometimes you just don’t know.

9.       You tell them your insecurities even though it means they have to help carry your burdens.

10.     You expect them to be on your side no matter what.

And in the end, things like these are acceptable because you’re family, and family is forever.
