Sean and I moved out of my Parents’ house 15 years ago this past August. My Mom moved into my house on March 14, the onset of the pandemic. My Mom and I have been sheltering in place here since then.
I’ve said before that my life hasn’t really changed since the pandemic began except for my overgrown hair and eyebrow. It has been a bit of an adjustment living with my Mom again. For her too!
We never had that teenage angst or antagonistic relationship as I grew up. One thing that has happened with her living at my house now is that she is NOT a fan of Love Actually. She could handle my obsessive watching of Hocus Pocus on a daily basis but, Love Actually is another story.
She doesn’t particularly like it at all! She does admit that she has only seen pieces of it but the pieces she has seen usually involve Judy and Jack. That’s why she’s NOT a fan! She sees me cry every day with Karen and she hears me laugh loudly at Billy Mack. Whom she does not like either! Especially, his video!
