[quote=Anonymous]OP I get it and I'm sorry. My parents were like this. I knew they were like this so I just met them where they were.The issue for me came when they had endless expectations of ME as they aged and my kids were/are still at home. I was fine with dad who was reasonable, but mom literally reinvented history. She compared me to all her friend's daughters who helped more. She left out the part about how her friends would nanny for weeks at a time and did endless things to help. Don't expect them to help. Don't express anger. They are who they are. Keep expectations low. If you need more distance from them and their travel photos, take it. Take the high road. Accept that they are limited and build your village where you are.[/quote]
