[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I can relate, though at my parents' house, it's not just the noise--  cable news blasting anger over politics and the state of the world-- it's what some of the others have pointed out at their parents' homes-- how old and uncomfortable everything is, how everything is still stuck in the 1990s when my siblings and I left for college. Maybe some of the discomfort arises from the fact that my parents never moved on to a second act after retirement. They're pretty much the same stuck, miserable people they were 30 years ago. [b]Same house, same furniture, same paint on the walls.[/b] My mother lies about the age of the mattress we use. It's obviously my and my sister's childhood beds pushed together into one larger bed for DH and me to use. The sheets are old and uncomfortable and dusty (and my mother lies that they're cleaned). And yes, we'd happily stay at a hotel but the closest hotel is half an hour away and very expensive. When we visit we try to keep it to 3-4 days at most, then get comments about why we can't stay longer. [/quote]

Wait, now that my kids have left the nest I have to swap out my house and all my furniture? Good to know.  :roll: [/quote]
