[quote=Anonymous]My parents live in Europe. We moved here a year ago. They came at Christmas, we went there at Spring Break, now they are here for 3 weeks. I don't like my mom very much but I think about the whole family, my dad, my kids and I think overall it is a good thing we have been able to see them that much.
They are not used to flying at all so yes it is tiring and they had a long flight with some smallish nightmare at CDG stopover.
So I was at Dulles for waiting for them to come out for over one hour, kids (7 and 4) super excited etc. I see my mom come out and she displays to me that face that means 'I am tired, it is a long journey etc'. OK they say hello to me and the kids etc. and then she says she thought I would call her while they were in the luggage and customs areas. I say it crossed my mind but I thought there was no reception there (at least at customs) and that they were about to come out anyway and a call would cost her money. She goes on and on about how there is reception and everybody else was on their phones.
We get in the car and she says she is tired, she does not think she will be coming again.

As I said this is a vent, I am not sure where I am getting to. But I am disappointed that her perspective does not show to her that it is tiring and there is jetlag etc but that it is worth it, to see her grandkids, a new country for her, whatever. She always has to have this pessimistic view on things. Everything is too much, too annoying, too tiring.
I feel sad for my kids, who feel so excited she is here.
I guess I feel sad for myself too, how different my life would have been if my mum truly loved me.

This is disgruntled, sorry, I know.[/quote]
