- In any relationship, the family eventually becomes involved. Most
- adults will politely ignore oposing views of prospective inlaws. This
- is called "being civilized". Your girlfriend's parents are not this
- sort so the burden is on you. Don't let them goad you into arguing.
- Change the subject. If they refuse to change the subject, leave. Don't
- argue, just leave. Eventually, they will learn what subjects cannot
- be discussed, and for the sake of their daughter's happiness, they will
- "be civilized". This may take a while, so hang in there. Remember,
- holding your temper is the mark of an adult.
