.... with my mother in tow (it's five and a half years since she last visited, rather than me going to Durham)

I spent days cleaning before I left the house pre-Christmas. I've already been banished from the kitchen after a demand to know where the cleaning products are.

Send a rescue party if you don't hear from me again!

I've had the same experience with my parents. Sympathy.

I think it's a mother thing!

In my case it's my dad ...

[davidgillon]

That'll teach me to gender-stereotype ;)

He had 8 days looking after my children when fanf and I went off to Dublin for Worldcon. They didn't want to go anywhere and I told him not to try to make them, so he cleaned. everywhere. and was open about it being because he was bored.

Wow! And most of us think it's the cleaning that's a boring chore!
