All Grown Up, But Not Quite

"Why can't you get up at 7:30 in the morning like I do?"
"Why can't you get up at 3 in the afternoon like I do?"
"Why can't you buy all organic?"
"It's cheaper if you buy this brand."
The tugs and pulls of adult children coming home are tough on everyone. I try hard not to fall back into the usual mother/child relationship, but I fail miserably over and over. I try hard not to get angry, but I do. I try not to say the things that are at the tip of my tongue, but half the time I fail and blurt it all out.
It is so good to see them, but it is so hard to live with them. I know they feel the same about me.
