Visiting my parents and my mom is driving me nuts!! She's such a control freak and nags! I don't know if I can stand 5 more days. Our lifestyles are so different that she doesn't get it. Beam me home please! 4951

Have fun. I have spent a lot more time with my mom in the last couple of months than I had in the last few years. I love her but I really love talking to her on the phone daily more. 4951

Last year I went to my parents house for 5 days.  I hadn't seen them in almost a decade and it was still 4 days, 23 hours too long of a visit.There is a reason we grow up and move out.  In my case, out and far, far away. 4951

@Ally:
I've informed mine they are guests at this point. They have no say in any household decisions, but they still have to clean and maintain my house.

@Ally please don't take offense because I mean this as a compliment, but you don't look old enough to have kids that are old enough to want to leave lol. Did that make sense? 4951

@mattem......my mother passed away in 1992 from breast cancer  . I was by her side through the entire 3 years she fought the big "C". She lost her battle ......my mother & I were not close when I was growing up , my father & mother were divorced when I was 5 & my father won custody of us kids . Till I was 10 I never saw my mother again , then she called & wanted to see me every other week-end. I was excited till I found out  she wanted me to watch my little 1/2 brother so she could have a free sitter . But I agreed & so went every other week-end till I was 17 . When I  started working a real job I made sure I remembered her birthday & mothers day & always sent flowers on sweetest day . I took her out to dinner every Sunday after church & even managed to take her to  several  dinner theatres  before she became too ill to go .It was a relief when she passed , not because we never got along but because she was no longer in pain . Before she passed  she told me " I loved you even though you were a girl " , so I finally knew why we never got along & why my brothers were her favorites . I still forgave her &  I was the one that stayed by her side till the end . I was the one that held her hand till it turned cold  & she was no longer on this earth. I still wish she were here even though she never had a kind word to say to me , I still wish I could call her & ask "how are you doing today mom?"  I guess I'm  still hoping after all these years that she would except me for the caring daughter I was , now it's too late , but I still have the satisfaction of knowing I was the one that was there till the end , not my brothers , her favorites . That does bring me comfort  knowing I gave it my all right till the end.So grin & bear it , you never know when the end will come for you or  her & you will know that you gave it your all. 4951

Having lost my Mother, TODAY, I miss her already.I couldn't find words, they say it the best IMO.My oldest daughter, who used to spend summers with my parents when she was young, had this on her FB account;Mourning the passing of a great woman today who taught me important life lessons through fishing:1) Patience. Sometimes the biggest fish bites after waiting all day. 2) Compromise. "You put the worm on the hook, I'll take the fish off the hook." 3) Enjoy the silence. Friendships are not filled by words, but by an understanding between 2 people.We'll miss you, Grandma. You're the best fisherwoman I know and you taught me all of my awesome skills! — feeling heartbroken.And my youngest Brother posted this on his FB account today;Metastasized – a nasty, ugly, evil word that if you don’t know what it means, I hope you never have to learn what it is.Today, I was painfully reminded of just how fragile human life is.Today, on 7-11-14, I and my two brothers lost the woman who gave us life. She was one of the key people who gave us all common sense, tenacity, perseverance, and the ability to think for ourselves. Together with my father, she was always consistent, firm in her faith, and taught us valuable life lessons that made us the men we are today. All three of her children are now self-sufficient, productive members of society, just the way she and my father intended.So today I said my goodbyes to the first woman that I ever loved. Tomorrow she will be rendered to ashes and memories, the way she wanted it. She never had the need for great attention, her mission was to raise her children right, then to go on to teach others at Ivy Tech, and she was successful at both of those missions.I miss you, and will always thank you for everything you did for us.I will always love you, Mom!Clara1-18-1932 – 7-11-2014 — feeling heartbroken. 4951

I'm so sorry for your loss of your mom. I dread the day my mom isn't here anymore.
 
I just don't have a very open relationship with my parents. They are very judgemental and so I have a hard time sometimes talking to them about things. It's especially hard cause I only see them two times a year and we are not used to each other's mannerisms. I wish they were more relaxed and spontaneous. I can't change that and I need to accept that. 4951

Hugs to you @fofa  It's very hard to lose a parent. @mattem  I was the closest one to my mom and we talked on the phone 2 to 3 times a week. I lived 6 hours away for the last 28 years. Anyhoo, though we were so very close, we had some knock down and drag outs over the years when I would visit. I'd give my left foot to have a row with her today.  4951
