I know, I wasn’t saying you didn’t! It’s more a message to everyone that those we love can annoy us but life is very short and one day we’ll give anything to feel annoyed at that person again.

Parents are infuriating and I completely understand how you feel. Here’s an idea, next time you hear the news channel and feel frustrated close your eyes, take a deep breath and say a quick thanks that this person is here and you have another day together. Push through the emotions and just try and enjoy the present day, get out of the house and do stuff you love, when you’re happy nothing seems as difficult. Try and make good memories whenever you can. I hope you both find a way to connect and I wish you well.
