[quote=Anonymous]Problem was and is that they are terrible communicators and that they don't listen to us. About anything. Made peace with it (mostly) by a) having my husband be in charge of communicating with them as much as possible b) write things down for them rather than expecting them to remember things we say (especially when it comes to planning trips and when they take care of our kids), c) I only do this in my own mind of course but I've found it helps me to pretend that they have hearing issues so I try to look at it from an empathetic perspective of oh, that must be hard for them that they can't hear what we say so I'll say it again, loudly, patiently, directly, kindly, as I would if they truly did have hearing issues rather than the truth (that they have a mental block against listening or communicating effectively with us)[/quote]
