Family time dilemma......


Hi,

I am 36 years old, female married to a wonderful man. I live in Washington state and my parents live near the Great lakes region. My issue is my parents like to call me 3-4 times a week. I am the type of person that likes a lot of space and this makes me feel a little suffocated. I have asked them to only call 1-2 times a month which made them very upset, so I then said ok, how about 1 time a week. That was fine for awhile, now they are calling again several times a week.

Then there are my inlaws who live in the same building as we do. We used to see them 4-5 times a month which I thought was plenty. They seem to think it isn't enough. They get weekly magazines and give them to us when they are done if a few weeks go by they will say "Oh, there are 3 magazines, you know that is 3 weeks since we've seen you.

All of this feels like control to me and makes me want to stay away.

How often do you think is a normal amount of time to spend with family? Thank you for your comments and suggestions.

Dianne
