I guess I am looking for advice and support. Does anyone else kinda dread spending extended time with their parents? Mine are coming to visit for the weekend, and I would really rather not. They are good people, they are loving, they were not abusive, but I feel like I have very little in common with them. I am single with no children, live solo, and have a busy social life. My lifestyle is completely different than theirs. And I feel like I am expected to keep them entertained when they visit me (we live in different states). They also bicker constantly, which I hate to be around.
I also know they are aging and will not live forever, so I then feel guilty over my lack of enthusiasm. Am I the only one like this?
Edit: Thank you all for the perspectives. Some of these ideas are very helpful. "Dread" is maybe not the right word, but their visit adds anxiety for many reasons that I can mitigate in the future.
For those of you who have deceased parent(s), I truly am sorry for your loss.
