Classes on How to Deal with Mothers/Fathers

I wish sometimes that instead of having Mother's Day and Father's Day we had classes in high school and college about how to deal with parents and in-laws with whom you have a complicated or difficult relationship. This class would discuss how to create appropriate boundaries, how to keep contact with people who are technology resistant, how far you might choose to go (with different strategies), and perhaps end-of-life scenarios that you could choose from to say goodbye.

I think this would be much more helpful than our attempts to lionize the people for whom many of us can never think of without mixed feelings. Sure, there are people who have incredible mothers—but those aren't the people who need help figuring out how to do the whole relationship thing. And the rest of us sit around on Mother's Day wondering what we're supposed to do with all of our feelings. Apparently, stuff them in the box you got the chocolates in and hold them tightly bound until next year.
