[quote=Anonymous]OP, it almost sounds like you're carrying baggage about growing up there or are embarrassed to go back there with your own family. To which I say: get over it and stop complaining. Why not focus on making the most of your time with your parents rather than focusing on what the surrounding area does or doesn't offer in terms of entertainment? You can't change the surroundings but you can change your attitude and be proactive about ways of making the trip more enjoyable. Bring a card game or board game, find a movie to see or a place to have dinner (even if it's--gasp--a Chili's). At some point you won't have to worry about visiting your parents for the holidays because they'll be dead. In the meantime, make the trip as short as possible, be prepared to find your own entertainment, and try to focus on the positives. [/quote]
