[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why do you need to do anything? Just have them sit on the couch. What's the problem?

Clearly you have never experienced the pain and boredom of this kind of situation. It is life sucking. DP.[/quote]

OP here. Thank you. It’s a hard situation to describe and not one I can just ignore (recognizing that is also a “me” issue).

Mom especially just wants to be near me. I can’t make dinner without her staring at me and basically providing running commentary over the whole process. If I run upstairs, I’m peppered with questions about what I’m doing. Forget about a run to the grocery store. That’s a whole family outing, done very, very slowly. [/quote]

And? Doesn't seem so outlandish, OP. Many of us have relatives that get on our nerves. Outings and activities don't solve anything. If it does for you, great, but for me, it's just more cat herding, more slowly, with possibly racist or inappropriate commentary always on the verge of spilling out. With games, it's full blast nonsense that ruins every game. The only thing I can do with them is watch movies.

This is why they don't often visit because when they do, whatever I organize or don't organize, it's bound to be irritating.

Nice word salad but you didn't offer any suggestions. [/quote]

So you can't read. The only thing that worked was movies, and not allowing visits that often.
