    A Quick Exit: 7 Signals Spouses Use to Ditch Bad Holiday Parties

    With a blast of holiday parties rapidly approaching, I figured it was time to get my exit strategy in order. You see, as November and December roll around so do school performances, family dinners and work-related events. Translation? Lots of opportunities for uncomfortable and awkward situations to present themselves. One way to avoid said awkward scenarios is by being proactive and coming up with a way out before you dive in. Communicating whichever sly method you choose with your significant other is particularly important. So I reached out to my Twitter followers and Facebook friends to wrangle a list of ways spouses effectively communicate that it's time to leave. To prep for holiday-party mishaps, click through for 7 signals spouses use! - By Krishann Briscoe

      Take Advantage of Bilingualism
      Darlene of "Tales of a Young Mamma" uses the fact that she is bilingual to her advantage. "I switch to Swedish, this way I can tell him off with a smile on my face and no one else knows what I'm saying."
