[quote=Anonymous]Is anyone able to practice radical honesty, kindly, With their parents? I realized this week on family vacation that I would like to do that more often. We had one example this week where we were dining out with my parents and they were going on and on and on about how the waitress was so rude and unpleasant. Normally I’d be embarrassed by this and try to tune it out, maybe go to the bathroom and hope they were done with it when I returned. But instead, and probably because my kids were with me, I very calmly and matter of factory said, “please stop talking about this. It is very rude to discuss at the table.” They were taken aback but stopped immediately. Why can’t I do this all the time. My parents are so amazingly inconsiderate ALL THE TIME but I just let it slide and resent it and spend little time with them. What if I could spend time with them on my terms. Is that even possible?[/quote]
