[quote=Anonymous]Here's how your family might feel from a different perspective, OP. "My family likes to think they are close, but what that means is pressuring people for more time than they're willing to give. Our dad has some problems with emotional maturity and mistreats people and is easily offended, but we're all supposed to put up with it and appease him "because we're family". If you have a schedule conflict or just need a quiet weekend, people get offended and it's a whole thing to soothe their sensitive feelings. When I was a child, I hated the whole dynamic. Now that I have kids of my own, I'm not willing to run myself and then ragged trying to appease my family. I set some boundaries and it's made me a lot happier. I truly believe this is best for my children."[/quote]
