Who would you rather deal with next Thursday — your uncle who won’t stop talking politics, or a pack of wiggly kids who can’t sit still?

Turns out, 47% of Americans would happily take the kids’ table this Thanksgiving. Millennials lead the charge at 62%. A wine company commissioned the survey, which makes sense — alcohol helps some folks get through dinner, but it’s also the spark behind plenty of family fireworks.

Here are the Top 10 Topics Everyone Wants to Avoid this Thanksgiving:

  1. Politics
  2. Money
  3. Appearance or weight
  4. Religion
  5. Their ex
  6. Mental health
  7. Work issues
  8. Personal struggles
  9. Relationship status
  10. Other family members

So if conversation gets dicey, remember — there’s always room at the kids’ table . . . and the arguments there usually end with crayons, not shouting.
