[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Try asking them about things. "Giggles, what was your college experience like? Did you live on campus?" "Duff, where were you stationed in the military? Are you still friends with any of the people you met there?" Then they'll tell you new stories.[/quote] Agree, or you tell them stories. They are trying to connect with you, and you are hiding like they are trying to sell you something. The best advice my husband gave to me when his mom was visiting is for me to be myself. Not to get defensive, or quiet, or withdrawn. "Be yourself, that's who I fell and love with and can easily defend. When you act different, I don't know what to make of it." Since then I've relaxed, and she had the choice to accept me or not visit. Similarly, I have accepted her for who she is and just moved on with life. I even keep my routine if they are visiting more than just a weekend. Which means going to the gym, for walks, any chores, etc. [/quote]
