[quote=Anonymous] Accept them for who they are, and accommodate their foibles to the limit of your sanity. This means you have to set boundaries on criticisms, and not fall over yourself remembering when to invite them or what to do over the Holidays. You have your own nuclear family and are now creating your own traditions and lifestyle. I have parents with serious communication issues. They have 0 friends. Their own siblings find them weird. They live in their little bubble, and cannot handle a different way of life than their own, which poses problems if they go on vacation or visit somebody else's house. So every day I think: "Mom and Dad are so lucky to have found each other!" Otherwise, I certainly wouldn't be here. Look on the bright side - they produced you, and somehow had enough good genes tucked away somewhere that made you more functional than they :-) [/quote]
