before i get flamed can i just say that i love my parents to bits and am so lucky that they take such an interest in my life and dote on my dd's and thank god i still have them around
but
every weekend they come to see us and spend time with us, they stay an hour away so we dont see them at all during the week.
i feel that we cant do nything as a family though without them wanting to come along, this includes day trips, visits to the park, weekends away and now they have decided that when we go away on holiday next year (our first big holiday abroad) they want to come with us.
actually even as i am writing this i realise that its not my dad, he has hobbies that keep him happy but my mum has issues with him doing anything without her so he gets dragged along to ours every weekend as well.
i am actually at the stage now where i am scared to open my mouth and say what we have planned because i know that my mum will make plans to come with us.
god i sound like such a cow writing all this down but it really is starting to suffocate me now. i am one of three but both my siblings are still single and leading there own lives.
dh is prettylaid back about it but i get the feeling when he finds out that they are planning on coming round the world with us next year he wont be quite so happy about it.
any adice would would be appreciated! i honestly love seeing them and spending time together but i feel like we are a family of 6 rather than 4!
