You can't pick your parents...
I've had some friends who have had problems with SO's parents, so I was eager to read the 6 Ways to Survive Your In-Laws post on Ask Dan & Jennifer.
While well-intentioned, the six ideas gave little help. Active listening? Good idea. Activate Your Own Forcefield? Weird, but I can see where she's going. Breathe? Wait a minute. That's pretty much the same as activating your own forcefield. Wait. Where's number six? There's supposed to be six tips!
So, I'm branching out. To you. Anyone have problems with the S.O.'s parents that were resolved (or ended horribly)? How do you deal with meddling moms and overprotective dads?
