Visit From Mother
When did parents become such hard work? They just never stop – all five of them (including the in-laws and soon-to-be-stepmother).
You take them out for the day - walk them for miles and miles - yet the minute they return they manage to find parts of your home that require urgent sweeping/oiling/sanding.
You cook dinner, and before coffee is served they’ve disappeared into the garden for a spot of “light pruning”.
They are wearing me out! I’m sure they weren’t always like this.
I suspect they’re all building up for a difficult retirement phase, where they wear at least two home-knitted cardigans regardless of season, eat only boiled food and buy Eminem albums because “it’s got a good beat”.

You have just described my in-laws. My dad-in-law has been helping me with my wall-building this week and although I wouldn't have been able to do it without him, he is so SLOW and PERFECTIONIST that it is driving me crazy :).
Michele sent me btw, but I would have come anyway!
Michele sent me too; I came because Ally said you were one of her favorites. I know what you mean about parents not being able to sit still when they visit...LOL
