I love having my parents coming to visit (they live in Ireland , I live in UK). I get really excited about having them come and really lonely when they've gone. I usually let little things that niggle me about people go over my head but it's a different story when it comes to my mum.
Ok, so she is a very 'my way is the only way' type but not meaning to be bad - probably trying to be helpful! I know I would put up with it from anyone else...especially when it's only for a week! I just can't help but snap back and then feel really guilty for it
