My family were OK, as such pretty normal for them loud as always but a little reserved. I considered it a success. Bf thought it went really well and they are "nice" in his words.
His family it was a huge whole day drive, took the dawgs as there is always a premium on kennels etc at Christmas. My mob are happier with me. So they came too.
That's kind of where the first sticking point came, his mum and dad really aren't dog people in the same way I am. They tend to think differently and that's kind of ok if they had their own dawgs and didn't want to "help me" with mine contradicting some of the ways I relate to mine. Really in some ways it's like trying to interfere with someone else's children a tough call.
His mum is unwell on dialysis and really I think the time they will Have in their house on borrowed time. I doubt they Weill be there in 5-10 years. My guts says they will need help in their life sooner. It's hard.
So with the health issues while welcoming in some ways it was hard work, mum seems to be really pa, she just drops "nice hints" and then keeps pushing. So while the plan was a longish visit, it wasn't really easy for them so we came back sooner. Which has been nice.
Since I was home early I had big plans but the days was write off, driving about 9hours back there was a rest day then a shopping day as food was short. Yesterday and today rainy, so I have been back in the continuing fill the bin project.
Some of your might remember I was trying to fill the wheelie bin with stuff to achieve some organisation and de clutter. So the bin tonight is full
It's just to hard and big a job to do in one go. Plans are being made for future house renovations and improvements. Some will not be as hard as I though or think, others will take $ (which are short) and be on the longer time frame.
Thanks pink, it's funny how we do tend to relate and wonder how others are going.
