I love the honesty of this post. Parents can be a handful, and a burden, but a burden that we gladly carry because we know we were sort of a burden growing up (well, not me, but most kids were a burden. I was a delight). <BR/><BR/>Parents also have that unique ability to piss you off, cause you to raise your voice, knowing full well you will feel guilty about it. And say what you will. Your folks will be back again and staying with your happy ass, and you know it. That is just want good children do for their parents. pains in the ass or not. <BR/><BR/>A couple of years back I had friends for England come to vistit over the summer. Two couples, one older one younger. Well, people in England take long ass summers off and they wanted to stay with me for like two weeks are more. Err, no. First although I can get off for that long, I won't because that is know vacation for me. They ended up staying for a week. I thought it was going to be murder. First, because I am a home body and don't do shit. Second of all, because I am a loner and always have been. People in my space? I just didn't see it happening. Lucky for me a good friend of mind was willing to plan the whole week's routine out for me. I was very greatful, because all I had to offer was television and me walking around naked. LOL<BR/><BR/>Anyway, what I learned was that I am a damn good host. That I can actually go a week without television. I can keep my house clean, if I put my mind to it. And home ain't really home until you had company that finally left. LOL<BR/><BR/>You a good son.

Your parents did everything you have been doing for them over the past two weeks for YEARS when you were a child...EVERY SINGLE DAY. And they had to wipe your ass and boogers from your nose. In addition, you vomited on them and kept them up at night when you were sick. I love your parents (despite the fact you haven't told me when I can come and see them). Be patient with them : ) <BR/>You know how you feel when Ma is sick and you are in NYC and she is all the way down in P.R. Just hug your Mom and Dad and sit on the couch with them and order in the next couple of nights. The world will still turn if you don't do housework the next couple fo days. <BR/><BR/>You know I love you. Take deep breaths. Enjoy their company.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12180121.post-33268753175254741302008-07-07T11:09:00.000-04:002008-07-07T11:09:00.000-04:00That just because the guest is someone that I may ...That just because the guest is someone that I may love dearly---doesnt' mean my husband will. I went 15 years without seeing a friend who I attended middle & high school with. He was traveling back to this area and needed a place to stay for 4 days so of course I offer up my guest room, with hubby's approval. I should have KNOWN that this wouldn't work sheerly due to the extreme personality differences between THEM alone. It ended up being a very stressful visit, fraught with tension all around and I vowed to never do it again. In the future I will put folks up at my mom's house instead, (five miles away) since most of my out-of-town friends already know my family anyway and that home is more conducive to hosting guests. Or, I might just politely let them know that they will need to make other accommodations altogether. It's just so stressful!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12180121.post-59389114288866640522008-07-07T11:05:00.000-04:002008-07-07T11:05:00.000-04:00It is understandable that you would get tired, two...It is understandable that you would get tired, two weeks is a long time for them to stay, epecially when you are working full-time. But one day sooner than you think, you will remember these days and smile. Forever isn't long enough with your parents, and parents don't last forever. My mom was sick for a few months before she died, and as her death approached her condition worsened. It was hard taking care of her (even with the nurse and hospital staff's help). In hindsight, every minute was worth it. Call me a glutton for punishment, but I would do every minute again, if it meant just a few minutes with her. I understand that people, relationships, and situations are different, but hopefully this will give you a little more to consider.<BR/><BR/>-just somebody who enjoys your blog from time to timeAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12180121.post-65895796542131083442008-07-07T08:52:00.000-04:002008-07-07T08:52:00.000-04:00Very good rules, Cocoa.

I mean...parents are a little different because they can do pretty much whatever they want that's within reason and us (usually) kids can't say much about it. <BR/><BR/>Even if it's just a couple of nights, I typically refuse to host guests. So, you're a better man than me for hosting guests for 2 consecutive weeks. <BR/><BR/>Promise me a phone call when all is said and done. We have so much to catch up on.
