[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Very firm boundaries. Someone should have protected you from that when you were a child, and I am sorry that they did not. I am sorry that she did not manage herself. But now you are the adult, and it is on YOU to protect your kids from her. “You seem upset, so we’ll leave and give you some time to manage your feelings. Janie is displaying imperfect-but-typical 5-year-old behavior, and if you can’t handle being around a 5-year-old, then the visit is over. I had to walk on eggshells to please you as a child and was given no room or patience to learn coping or maturing tools—you will not be repeating that pattern with my children.” And if it blows up, so be it.[/quote] Say the first sentence and forget the rest, while you calmly pack up and leave.[/quote]
