[QUOTE="flutterbee, post: 159373"] You know, I love my mom. And she and I are really close. But when she comes here it's just this whirlwind. There's just so much chaos with the kids and she's always trying to do a million different things. And she ALWAYS walks into my house and starts cleaning. I mean, my house could be spotless and she'd clean. She was living in NJ and drove 8 hours to visit, got to my house and there were 2 - count them, 2!!! - dishes in the sink and she fills the sink to wash them. After driving for 8 hours! And now that I can't keep up with the house like I used to - it's not bad...just some small areas of clutter and needs dusting - it just stresses me even more when she does this. I guess it's more how I react to it than anything else - or how it makes me feel - but it makes me nuts. And the kids are all vying for her attention and everyone's talking and with my cognitive stuff I can't filter it out and it just sounds like a lot of noise. I enjoy visiting with her much better over the phone. Or without the kids. There's a reason I live 45 minutes away from her. [/QUOTE]
