I had a relative in town all week...

...and I just have some questions for my fellow abortioneers.

Is this how it usually goes down for you?


Sub-questions:

• Which one of you avoids bringing it up -- you or the relative(s)?
• Which one of you subtly changes the subject?
• Which one of you decides to end the conversation?
• Which one of you lets the other person have the last word, and/or decides to leave it at "agreeing to disagree"?

...Or do you just have an all-out fight?
...Or is everything hunky-dory with all your relatives? (Congratulations!)

These aren't rhetorical questions, I'm just curious about the whole spectrum of experiences (from people I know personally, it's already quite broad). So tell me how it is for you.
