[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kids are a life saver at these events because they keep me busy and engaged. I will be screwed when they start to get older and require less supervision. It's really tough. I love my MIL and FIL but DH's siblings and I seem to have a forced, awkward relationship. I[u] hate small talk and silence doesn't bother me so I'm sure it's just as awkward for them.[/u] Luckily DH is also an introvert so we typically just stay glued together. He's usually the one that wants to leave early. I do much better when people visit me but don't feel myself in someone elses's home.[/quote] This describes me too. Silence does not bother me: in fact, silence is golden :) and a very welcome respite, esp. after a lot of chitter-chatter. :) But my in-laws fear silence and leap to fill it at any given moment. :([/quote]
