[quote=Anonymous]I've been implementing a 'say yes only if I'm happy' 2018 policy and so far its been fabulous and so much more successful than 2017. But my parents are so demanding - if I don't see them 6+ times a year they throw fits. Every holiday is a 'you're getting a plane ticket right or should we get you one?' negotiation. When all I want is my space. - New Years (January) - 'Family' vacation in February/March - Mother's Day (May) - July 4th - Birthdays (late August) - Thanksgiving (November) - Christmas (December) It never ends. I could be mid-vacation with them and they're ALREADY trying to plan the next time I come back 'home'. But their home is not mine (alone) anymore. It's just tiresome. But I love them and I don't want to offend them by 'rejecting' them. How did you draw the line in the sand? Do you really commit to flying/driving to see your parents so many times a year?[/quote]
