[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I agree that you need to be clear with your no. Clear and kind: "Mom, I'm so glad you want us to come, and I'm sorry to miss it with my sister coming too, but it's just not going to work for us to come." Stop listing off all the reasons.[/quote] Perfect. My parents do this too. I have my own home with my husband and baby and it unnerves me when they refer to the house I grew up in as "home" as if my life now is just a make-believe game. [/quote] [b] After being married for several years and living in my own home, I still sometimes refer to my parents house as "home." Nothing wrong with that.[/quote][/b] +1. Likewise, my husband grew up in SC and still calls that home, even though we've been in VA 10 years and even though his parents don't even live there anymore! [/quote]
