A positive family post for once
I lurk here a lot and thought this board could use a positive post.
I'm very thankful for my family. My parents do not ever pressure us to come see them, holidays or otherwise. They always say we need to plan what works best for us. And this lack of pressure makes me actually want to see them. My in-laws like to see us all the time, but my H will tell them no if it doesn't fit into our schedule or if we just don't want to. Just no, no excuses, no apologies.
Don't get me wrong, we're not a picture perfect family. We annoy each other and have fights, but we set our boundaries and stay respectful and get over it, spend some time apart.
Just wanted to give the regulars here a positive story for once where they don't have to say, you don't have a MIL problem, you have a DH problem.
Re: A positive family post for once
Yay for a positive post! Our parents are pretty good about doing what is best for us as well.
My parents are good about not pressuring us too. There is always sadness about us not being able to join in for a holiday or whatever but they understand.
My ILs live OOS so they're never an issue; they're just happy to see us whenever it works for all of us. We usually only see them once a year.
boooooring!
'Lame' and 'whoopdee-doo' were the words that came to mind.
