[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Meh, I'd just cut to the chase and wave the white flag:

Them: So what will you do if Larlo gets a B?
You: I'm not sure. What do you think I should do?
Them: Blah blah blah
You: Sounds great. Thank you.

Them: What instrument is Larla going to play?
You: I'm not sure. What instrument do you think she should play?
Them: Blah blah blah.
You: Sounds great. Thank you.

And so on. [/quote]

Excellent idea. Only issue is that they follow up!  Actual example:

"What books are you reading DS?"

"Oh we are really into x right now!  He loves action and adventure!"

"Have you considered y book (which is way too advanced for the kids)?"

"Sounds a bit advanced but I'll look into it thanks."

Three months later...

How was y book?  Why didn't you start reading that to him?  Here I just ordered it for you online. It's coming in the mail shortly.

And your response is:

You: Okay. Thanks! So how is Inlawville? Have you had much rain? We're expecting showers tonight...

Don't make this harder than it has to be OP. [/quote]

And then they say, "it's raining. Back to the topic at hand- he really needs to improve his reading...."

Sorry but it is more difficult than you may perceive PP. [/quote]
