[quote=Anonymous]My parents are elderly and up early (especially my dad) and my mom is hard of hearing.  But (a) I am a morning person AND have toddlers so it’s really restful to visit somewhere I don’t have to keep the kids super quiet until 8am (sorry OP that’s my idea of when a normal morning should start), (b) my mother is the most soft spoken person imaginable so she doesn’t shout even when she’s not wearing her hearing aids, and (c) they both still want the me-time, possibly even more so than when I lived at home because they’re not used to interacting with people constantly since they’ve retired.

I do sympathize though, OP, in that it’s weird to come “home” and find it weirdly unrestful when you’re used to it being a place you can relax.  And my parents have gotten really into sports since they have so much time on their hands which is just bizarre because they only ever loosely tracked cricket and hockey when I was growing up.  Aging is a mystery.  Anyway I hope your visit gets better![/quote]
