Parental Role Reversal
May 16th, 2008Like it or not, the parent-child relationship will (and should) be give and take, with the child being the taker and the parent being the giver. I don’t make the rules.
So it’s a bit off-putting that my mother has been dropping not-so-subtle hints and wanting some of her furniture back that she gave me several years ago. It’s not like it is teak furniture or anything. It’s part of a bedroom set that doesn’t even have all the pieces anymore, and it’s not particularly nice. On top of that, she has no room for it.
She also made a comment to my wife about taking our leather sofas if we don’t want them. I’m not down with that. Should I feel this way?
