[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If it’s a visit during “regular times” with work and school and activities, they can either fall in line or work around you. If it’s during holidays and you don’t have work/school/tons of activities, you can adjust things like Christmas dinner or Thanksgiving dinner to a time that works better for them, or that is a compromise. When you have flexibility, be flexible. When you don’t, make it clear that you’re doing X at Y o’clock and they are free to do something else if that works better for them.[/quote] This. Plus communicate. It’s your house, appliances and family schedule so you or your spouse should LEAD the basic communications and basic planning (meals, other nuclear family obligations). They can tag along or other own thing. [/quote]
