[quote=Anonymous]Don't host them. If you do spend time with them, do it on your terms - meet for lunch, visit their home, etc. They key is that you need to be able to LEAVE when they cross a line. And it's fine to visit them without your spouse. Depending on the age of your kids, consider if it's appropriate for your kids to be around them or not (or if your kids want to). Set up a 'safe word' or other system with your kids so that they can let you know if they need/want to leave. You don't need to see them very often - my parents are in their mid 70s and difficult to be around and we see them about 3 times a year for no more than 1.5 days at a time (they live a 7-hour drive/one hour flight away).[/quote]
