To some university/college students home seems like heaven, a place where you can go that is stress free and happy and frre from tests and exams. I was always one of those people even though I can home to dad working 14 hr days and mom's nagging I still loved home. This time is different though, there is just soo much tension between the two of them, mom is stressed about the cruise and getting everyone ready and dad is stressed with work and snaps at everyone. I honestly don't think i've heard them say a nive word to eachother since i've been home. The social worker in me wants to try and get them to talk about their feelings and stuff but I've been told to stay out of it, which is almost impossable for me to do. I know I have fantastic parents that are generally supportive and loving but this year there is just somthing a little different.Hopefully its just pre vacation stress and things will be better once we're on the trip.
We picked up my Grandma today for christmas and I love having her here, I don't think it would be christmas without her. She's always singing christmas songs and laughing and reminising about past christmasses, maybe a few days with her will but everyone in the christmas spirit.
