[quote=Anonymous]My parents live 8 hours away from us. Dad is fully retired, Mom is still working. Due to some health problems and scheduling issues, my parents are visiting us (5 yr old, 1 yr old) for the first time in six months. In the time since the previous visit, my Mom has gone on and on about how much she missses us, wants to see the kids and build a bond with them, etc, etc.

During this trip, when theres been downtime, my Mom will pull out her laptop to “take care of a couple emails” which is kinda irritating because I took off of work to spend more time with them during this visit. However, the tipping point came today. When I asked what time they’d be leaving their hotel to come to our place, I was told that “mom has a work situation she has to deal with.”

Eventually, my Dad came over on his own about two hours later. I talked to my Dad about it, and asked if the work crisis was self inflicted or something that truly only my Mom could deal with. His response was that it was a little of both, but that my Mom really should have the wherewithal to delegate these tasks to others, but ultimately he was kind of like “well that’s just how she is”

Anyways, this is still fresh, but am I justified in feeling this way?[/quote]
