Everyone is part of an extended family and most likely has at least one stressful relationship. Also, everyone who is or has been married has "issues" with in-laws and other extended family members over things like how to raise kids or where holidays will be spent. Fixing Family Friction offers practical, proven advice for how to be civil and coexist peacefully, resolve those issues that can be worked out, and maybe even learn to enjoy one another in spite of generational differences.
