You just vacation at the house
When I come to town, I just get to enjoy the house. My mom doesn’t see me often so she wants me to relax—she doesn’t want me spending time doing any work around the house. I can see how that might make my sister a little resentful. But, also, on the flip side, it’s normal that when a child goes home to their family, they relax. My life where I live is busy and exhausting.
