Have now spent a week in a small cabin with my parents, one week to go. I definitely don't regret it, and I appreciate many aspects of their company, but there are times when I have to retreat into my own room and put headphones on so I don't hear them talking.

My dad asked me today when I'm going to grow out of my leftist opinions. Yes Dad, I know you were briefly a Trotskyist when you were seventeen, and your opinions have changed since then, but I'm almost forty. It is not a youthful phase. *rolls eyes*

My late parents once told my then boyfriend that he couldn't possibly really hold left-wing views, because his father was a university lecturer, so it must all be a pretence. He climbed out of a window to get away from them... which is not an option with one's own parents, sadly.

Familial bonds, so complicated. *sigh*
