They'll never understand, you know. And you'll just make yourself miserable trying to convince them. Just change the subject if it comes up. And if you want to keep in contact with them, you just have to accept their limitations.
I have the perfected the "uh huh mom. how is your garden doing?" technique. It may have to be repeated in broken record style.
Does it really matter if they accept it? Well, I suppose it does. But you can't make them, so it's just causing yourself pain to try.
