[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If it’s a visit during “regular times” with work and school and activities, they can either fall in line or work around you. If it’s during holidays and you don’t have work/school/tons of activities, you can adjust things like Christmas dinner or Thanksgiving dinner to a time that works better for them, or that is a compromise. When you have flexibility, be flexible. When you don’t, make it clear that you’re doing X at Y o’clock and they are free to do something else if that works better for them.[/quote] This. But also, some older ppl legit cannot eat later--they get heartburn or uncomfortable. Some of my relatives are like that: if they don't eat by 5 it affects their digestion and sleep. So if meal time is the biggest source of conflict, I'd just make it so that they have everything they need to make their own dinner. [/quote]
