[quote=Anonymous]The in-laws just visited. For 2 weeks. I really have a hard time being around them- they are loud, messy, and just objectionable in many ways. Nothing I find too morally terrible to the point where I won't expose my children to them, but bad enough I use these coping techniques 1) withdrawl (emotional or physical... this time, I spent a lot of time in my bedroom or "working," which meant I also missed out on holiday family time with my kids) 2) being quiet What can I do next time instead? I want them to have time with my children and a relationship... but... the above really isn't my "style" and I have a hard time being so passive in my own house. On the other hand, these people have violated my boundaries so many times I don't know what other things I can do (without providing specifics, they are the sorts of violations of privacy and respect that come from meaning well, but just not having a good impact).
