[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why can’t your parents share Christmas. What is the big deal. Seems immature to me. We never say no to anyone who wants to join us for big occasions. It has not been an issue. [/quote] Because sharing with normal people is one thing, sharing with pushy boundary-crashers is another. Who knows what other selfish ideas they'll think up and what other occasions they'll butt into. Some people like a little privacy-- some people even think it's polite to give other people privacy and not show up uninvited. Imagine that. And sometimes older people just aren't up to hosting large groups in their home. It's nothing personal. As we get older we simply don't have as much energy and these things become a challenge. Just because you can manage it in your 30s-50s doesn't make it okay to dump surprise guests on people in their 70s and 80s.[/quote]
