Daughter home from uni for christmas

[Thinkimgoingnuts]

I love my daughter and miss her terribly when she is away....but when she comes back home for holidays...omg the whole world revolves around her. I appreciate the fact that she wants to catchup with friends and she usually works in a local store for extra cash (a good thing) but, Washing, makeup and wet towels everywhere. Complaints about the lack of the foods she likes, bowls, cups left in her room and in the kitchen for some one else to wash up! Lifts expected last minute. Only chatting when she is bored. If I manage to arrange a slot of her time ie to take her out for lunch or something, she makes me wait for her to get ready then an hour or so later we may actually leave the house. When I have tried to talk to her about it she thinks I'm nagging her or trying to start an argument. I could go on and but kinda boring myself now. Rant over 🤪

I feel your pain. DS back from uni until end of January. Food bill has doubled and his room is a tip. Sleeps all day then spends all night either with friends or online gaming with them.
The first week he was back he spent finishing his modules and insisted on sitting with me because he finds it easier to work with someone around, he is in a flat with 9 others so maybe he’s used to a busy environment?

Hoping he has some work lined up from next week. He works for a friends dad labouring. Although it will just mean even more washing.

I was dreading him leaving home back in September but, to be honest, I can’t wait for him to go back at the end of the month.

I hear you. DD stays in bed until midday and then moans when we want to go to bed at 11pm i stead of keeping her company on th rare occasion she wants it. I love her, she has also worked a bit , but jeez she's self centered.

Thanks for you replies so glad I'm not the only one. My darling daughter has returned to uni now and the house is calmer, tidy and we are back to missing her 🤣
