Won't Miss/Will Miss/Both

Things I won't miss about my parents:
  • Having them tool around the house when I want to tool around the house, usually naked;
  • Being asked by them for things, in particular the way Mother asks for me: "Nee hauw, nee hauw!" (that stands for "needs help," if you couldn't decipher that);
  • Being force-fed so much food that I have ballooned in weight (even though I probably will balloon in weight if I find food for myself; this is more a complaint that I don't want food forced in me)
  • Being force-fed that I have never tried, or even am able to describe;
  • The questions about where I'm going, why are you doing this or that, etc.;
  • Mother criticizing me -- I haven't really understood how much that has affected my life;
Things I will miss about my parents:
  • If something in the house breaks, Father usually can fix it;
  • I'll have to do all the chores around the house;
  • I now have to worry about the house -- it'll be empty now for a part of the day;
  • I now have to worry about my parents' real estate ventures;
  • I have to open up all the mail and, if necessary, act on them;
  • I need to look at my parents' e-mail in case there's something they will miss now that they're globetrotting again;
  • How it'll get too quiet around the house;
  • I'll be scared if they get hurt while they're travelling;
Another thing I won't and will miss about my parents that I have to worry about as soon as they leave:
  • All the food that they have left me.  I need to quickly triage the foods I need to eat immediately and what can wait.  It looks as though I have to worry about the bananas and the lettuce first, followed by the leftover rice and the egg.  But it'll take weeks to get through everything they have left for me in the fridge that is in danger of spoiling.  And that's not even taking into account all the stuff in the freezer.  Hey, I love them, and I appreciate them leaving all this food for me.  It'll save me money, no doubt.  But I will be spending money today/Monday and tomorrow/Tuesday because the former is Cinco de Mayo and the latter is Game 1 of the Timberwolves in The Western Conference Semifinals vs. The Bastard Philadelphia Warriors.  A-wooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!
