How do I set boundaries with my parents without hurting them?
Be kind and clear. Explain what you need, such as privacy or time, and what you can offer instead. Use calm words like "I would like to" and stay consistent. They may need time to adjust, so thank them for their care while keeping your decision.
Say what you are saying yes to, not only what you are refusing. For example: "I would love to visit on Sundays, and I need Saturdays for my own time." Pair it with appreciation. Expect a short adjustment period, and be consistent.
