I am speaking from a third-person view, as I have distanced myself from a couple that seemingly won't stop imposing their presence upon their daughters who are either recently married, engaged to be married, or seriously dating somebody. In this situation, this impossible couple that I speak of tends to be rather controlling. They also desire to be best friends with their daughters, and the men in their daughter's lives. Taken to an extreme, even the most friendly parents can wear out their welcome when they come around too often, and try and be too close to anybody their children are married to, or dating. Now, with this in mind, I had to distance myself from this couple because they were not particularly interested in what my wife and I were doing with OUR lives, and only concentrated on what was important to them, which was THEIR family. In addition to this, I noticed the rude and selfish behavior they imposed on their daughters. Why would they think that even after their daughters get married that they could continue to violate any boundaries of visiting too often, or expecting to be best friends with their daughters boyfriends and spouses. I have had overbearing relatives in my life in the past, and even without my wife to support my occasional disagreements with these imposing inlaws, I stood my ground and let my boundaries be known. There is nothing wrong with imposing boundaries on anybody, especially when it involves close contact with them, constant visits, or giving little or no warning of plans to visit for weekends and etc. Even though I believe in treating people with respect, I don't believe that being family with anybody includes having to be best friends. Stand your ground!! I don't know, what do you other people think out there?
