re: Parents making uninvited trip to visit , i’m swamped at work this month

It can be frustrating but I always try to make the most of the visits when my parents do stuff like this. They won't be around forever and I'm glad they are still active at their age. They've both been retired for a long time (dad, 11 years, mom, 33 years) so they don't look at free time the way folks who work do. They're used to being able to do whatever whenever and don't always consider that we are working all week and need weekend time to get stuff done around the house. My dad is always game to help out with projects, though. As much as he and my mom have helped me and done for me I'm ok with setting other things aside to spend weekend time with them.

Ca
I'm real short on time - so this will be brief
you are first class a-hole.
Didnt say how old you are - but you got lots of growing up left to do regardless.
Dont know how old your parents are - but feel blessed that they are anxious to visit you.
I am 86 years old - not many more to go - thank God my children saw how I teated my parents - and my wife's parents when we were young and 'on the way up' -
They are both trying as hard as they can to make our (wife is 87 - and blind, and crippled) remaining years as enjoyable as possible.
Treat your parents like you would want to be treated in your last days.

Your parents are getting a divorce and they want to tell you face to face, so it can’t wait.

You suck at life. My mom legit, randomly dropped dead on Christmas Day in 2019. You have no idea what it’s like to lose someone like your parent, especially suddenly. My dad is still with us but not much longer I’m sure. You need to cherish every moment and opportunity you get with them. Family first, work second. Get your priorities straight before you regret it.

I love that the American's highest priority in life is working for someone else. Dude, stfu, value family over work. You are truly tricked in priorities.

OP fricking sucks as a person. It's your parents.... who put you in the position you are in now. You are extremely selfish.

All I know is that when you’re on your death bed, you won’t be saying “damn I wish I worked more.”

Having a young child I know you’re being an a-hole. You can put whatever you have to the side for your parents for one weekend. If you truly understood what they put aside and sacrifices they made for you this thread wouldn’t exist.

Sounds like a bunch of entitled boomer parents in here. Yes, it's selfish of them, it's ok to have boundaries especially when your direct communication is ignored.
While true, someday they won't be there, just bc you love someone, doesn't mean they can run roughshod through your life. Actions that lack mutual respect speak louder than anything.

When they die, you'll be free every weekend.

Yea - you're being a prick. Value the hell out of the visit. Sometimes we take our parents for granted. Mine are getting up in age and are both having health issues, and it reminds me they won't be around forever.

Its a weekend. Put on your big boy pants and show your parents around.
Posted on 9/5/24 at 8:18 am to Bison
Make time for your parents. They’ll be gone before you know it. Football isn’t going away, but your parents only have so much time.

It seems like you are young and just started your career and your job feels like the most important thing in the world, but I assure you, your job is not that important.
You are going to bust your arse for a 5% raise and then look back at this weekend that you were a dick to your parents and feel like a complete douche one day.

Don't be an a-hole
You'll regret not spending time with them when they are dead and gone.

Do you even comprehend how much your parents sacrificed so you could have things growing up. You're being a selfish twat. My mom was diagnosed with terminal cancer Monday and you're bitching about your parents loving you and wanting to see you.

Good parents understand the sacrifices. I can’t make everyone get it. Maybe it’s because I’m in the trenches with a two year old right now, so it’s clear to me. Everyone is different. For me, knowing what I know now, I’d do anything for my parents. That’s me.

His parents are coming for a weekend, two days.
Are you not able to cope with this for two days?
