[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They have no boundaries and no respect for your time and space. In some cultures it's the norm. I came from such a culture and find it toxic. My parents also had no respect for personal boundaries, but even they would not do something like this. They recognized that as adults, we had our own lives and if they wanted to visit, they'd check with us about schedules and logistics. You will get push back when you enforce your boundaries. But right now they keep doing it because you and your sister allow it. [/quote] This. This is totally our culture and it's very toxic. I've had years of therapy and you probably don't believe it, but I have tried to set boundaries like ask my dad "why don't you call sister before you make plans?". My sister was at a work trip all week and they came anyway! That is why we went to my sister's this weekend. [/quote]
