[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We boomers said this about our parents, and your kids will say it about you.

You’ll see.  Life gets you.  Have some grace.[/quote]

Yup. Every Christmas I traveled 350 miles home to a blaring TV and freezing house. My parents have been gone more than 10 years now and I wish I could be back there just one more Christmas. [/quote]

My mom’s house is freezing during the day (she’s an “add another sweater” type) but- and this is monstrous- she cranks the heat at night! She also has a bedroom in the 1st floor so the upstairs guest room becomes stifling. So imagine she’s sleeping in 75-80 degree warmth and us guests are slowly roasting to death under flannel Christmas sheets under a peaked ceiling. We are not there this year but I feel panicked just thinking about it.

My mom also wakes early (4:30/5 am) and is one of those people who becomes louder the more she tries to be quiet. She’ll unload a dishwasher, cook, make coffee, go out to the garage 3x to check to other freezer, and walk back and forth in soled shoes on hardwoods. If she hears someone stir she’ll make a big production of trying to shut doors to keep things quiet, but that just wakes us all up for good.[/quote]

Ha!!! That reminds me of my mom. Man I miss her.[/quote]
