[quote=Anonymous]Do you see your mom that often? My parents are long-distance, and sometimes it is a weird adjustment when they first show up: hearing observations about how you live your life, showing them how things are set up for the childcare. There are lots of things you just take for granted about how you live that now you have to stop and think about or explain. When you feel busy generally (what working parent doesn't?) it can be irritating to slow down. Heck, I feel that way sometimes after DH returns from a long business trip. Perhaps I'm projecting a bit, but that's often my experience. Having your mom here for a week is a huge blessing and relief, but it does take work from you to be sure it goes smoothly. Take a deep breath, OP, and slow down a little. Think about everything you like about your mom. Go from there.[/quote]
