[quote=Anonymous]Op, dealing with older family members is really hard. Mine have many fine qualities but also have many that I abhor. We do not have the kind of close relationship that some people have with their family. They were very self contained and still are. I struggle to find things to talk about when I visit them. The past is good as a subject. They usually like to talk about the past. Ask some questions about his early life, your parents life before kids, his old job, his parents, etc. maybe it will be less like boring small talk and more like taking an oral history that could be interesting to you.[/quote]
