[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Particularly if you and spouse are the oldest/first to get married/have kids... [/quote] 1. No is a complete sentence. 2. You are not responsible for their feelings. If they are angry, pouty, disappointed or whatever that they don’t get to stay with you unannounced for 8 weeks or whatever that’s their problem. 3. Understand that pushy, rude people hate boundaries. They are selfish and will react. Ignore them. 4. Never give in to manipulation, it only grows the beast. 5. Be mindful of not establishing faux traditions. You travel out on ground hogs day two years in a row and it becomes an expectation into eternity. Nope. 6. Be consistent, training boomers is like training puppies without the cuteness. [/quote]
