[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm shocked that so many posters are ok with just working someone elses job while theyre supposed to be visiting? Like how bizarre to ask your child to go do YOUR job while they are visiting.

I agree with pp about asking which weekend she isn't working. [/quote]

I don't get preferring to sit at home doing nothing while someone works.  Assuming your parents are able bodied, do they do nothing to help you when they come visit? My mom does a lot to try to lighten my load while she's there - its all work I do otherwise, but why would she just sit around and watch me do it if we could do it together to make it a bit easier to me and have some time together?  When family comes to visit us they take on some of the work and I do the same when I visit them.  If the work your mom is literal work - what difference does it make?  I'm helped my mom address envelopes for her volunteer job, weed her garden, repair things, cook etc.  I truly cannot fathom either of us sitting around on our duffs watching the other one work while visiting[/quote]

You are doing volunteer tasks and domestic duties - not conference and event work where contracts and financial transactions and clients are involved.[/quote]
