[quote=Anonymous]Booze helps, but what really helps in my family is no one gets offended if you don't want to do what they want to do. We usually only get together for short periods of time (holidays or vacation) due to locations. For example, if someone wants a 6am wake up to go for a run, anyone who wants to go does so and anyone who wants to sleep till noon does so. And no one takes any of it personally. All bets are off on minor kids not wanting to do something though. Oh, and as to pitching in, making/bringing, cleaning up...............we all know our strengths and weaknesses. Which goes to the early posts of accepting folks for who they are and not trying to change them. Partner's family is a whole 'nother thing. Passive aggressive all day long, and won't talk to you for months if they think you looked at them funny. [/quote]
