[quote=Anonymous]You can accept their limitations and be grateful for what they CAN do. That's important, and an important part of it. BUT You can and should set limits. ("I'm not going to be able to help you with presents this year. I know the kids would appreciate anything you would do for them.") You can state your feelings. ("It's OK if you don't want to come to an event for the kids but I wish you would tell me directly, rather than my hearing it from someone else.") Etc. Sometimes you can say, "You know, I don't know why you do XY and X, you probably have good reasons. But I do feel sort of hurt that you don't want to do Z." You can ask WHY they act in certain ways.
