[quote=Anonymous]It's the shopping part that bothers me. It struck a nerve because it's an issue with my mom too (who is 75). She doesn't live in Manhattan but she has plenty of more than adequate places to shop where she lives and yet when she visits us, shopping is the top priority. We could spend the day sightseeing, going to museums and other places of interest but if we get home by 7:00, she's immediately out the door to go shopping while I get ds settled and ready for bed. If there's a day where we don't have things planned and I think it might be nice to hang out at home, make a nice meal, walk to the park, etc., nope - it's a shopping day. She shops (as a hobby) every single weekend that she's not with us so you would think she could take a weekend off now and then. Now, if your parents are actually tired but don't want to admit it, and shopping is actually a euphemism for taking a nap, that's understandable![/quote]
