[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]NP and I wish I had family members who actually listened when you were "direct." I actually posted on DCUM about a family member's rude comments on Thanksgivings and when she was told it was rude and inappropriate, she just didn't care. You all act like telling them that you're just going to do it changes their minds... it doesn't.

So because that's probably more common than not, OP has found a way around it so that the holidays aren't filled with confrontation and tension. Win, win. [/quote]

And yet you keep inviting her and letting her in the door. If someone is rude and inappropriate to me, they don't cross the threshold of my home, and I don't go to events where they are in attendance; and I let the host know why. [/quote]

I am not this pp, but if I did this, I would have to never go to another family event again. Sometimes the rest of the family members are also bullies and inappropriate, and think it's "fine". I've have never had an interaction where being direct solved anything in my family.

OPs solution is awesome![/quote]
