[quote=Anonymous]I channel my nicest, kindest friend and say to myself "what would XX do". When asked annoying, intrusive questions I say things like "oh, I'm sure those details will just bore you!" and turn the question back to them I tell DH when I am at my breaking point, and he takes them out to dinner I structure the week in a way that is as easy on me as possible (like have cleaners come the day after they leave). I don't force them to eat the things I eat - I'll stock the house with the foods they like so meal times aren't stressful I go to bed early I drink wine and tell myself "This too will pass" I remind myself how awful I feel after they leave if I've been overly testy I am not perfect, and they are still annoying, but these things have made me much, much nicer.
