[quote=Anonymous]Just listen. That's it.

There is nothing you can do. Your sister and her husband will not change. And your parents are human beings. Of course, they feel less close to the chld whose rules unintentionally makes them feel like strangers. There is no wrong to right here. This is life. You can advise your parents to stop complaining about it because it makes your sister feel unloved. But they cannot change how they feel about her parenting rules affecting the relationship, and they possibly will reduce how often they visit her.

I state this as a parent with crazy rules. My children have allergies, and it took a while for my family to really get it. I set my rules and stood by them. It caused some tension and resentment, but my children come first and I will not feel sorry/sad for doing what I think is best for them. My whole family can kick rocks if they strongly disagree or feel offended with my rules. My family doesn't love me any less. They just relate better to those who have similar parenting styles as they do. I am quite comfortable with that. [/quote]
