[quote=Anonymous]You and your spouse decide in what clear, direct language you will use to respond about this. Give your reasons, your well wishes for a wonderful trip FOR THEM, and a statement that you will not change your mind on this. Then you both just stick to that script and repeat it over and over, using the same inflection as a PP said. Don’t react emotionally, don’t feel you need to explain yourselves beyond what you’ve agreed to put into the script. In a different vein, why wouldn’t your spouse, or you in a more diplomatic way, ask them directly why they have never visited you? “Since you are retired and have time time and financial means, it’s very puzzling to us that you have not once managed to make a trip out here to see us. Why haven’t you done that in all these years?”[/quote]
