[QUOTE="flutterbee, post: 159873"] It's just that she comes in and takes over. Completely. She always has. I've tried talking to her about it and she just gets hurt or mad and it's just easier (I think?) to let her do as she does. But, yesterday she knew I didn't feel good. It was a planned visit and she was taking me grocery shopping because it's too hard to do myself. I had been up all night with leg pain and didn't get to sleep til after 6:30 am. Then around 9:00 am my neighbor was out with a chainsaw. :bloodshot: So I was tired. And I just felt unwell all day. She asked if I wanted to reschedule but I was already up, I was showered, I was dressed, I had plans with her I wanted to do it. Then she gets here. And she decides that she wants to give easy child a haircut since she probably won't see him again before he goes to his dad's. That's fine. But, knowing in advance would be nice because easy child had plans and then I had to tell him that he needed to do this, yada, yada, yada. Then she starts doing this, then that, then this, then that. And easy child's girlfriend was here and my mom...I tell ya, she should be on government payroll as an interrogator. I'm the kind of person that doesn't ask a lot of questions. I don't want to pry and if people want to share something they will. Not my mom. And easy child's girlfriend is pretty quiet. Very nice girl, but shy. She didn't stand a chance with mom. :please: And now I sound ungrateful. :embarrassed:I'm not. I guess it's just issues that go way back with her wanting to take over things in my life. She can be pretty....hmmmmm....overbearing? I've had to really stand my ground to maintain boundaries. It's taken some pretty firm measures on my part. I always look forward to visiting, but I'm always feel like I've run a marathon when she's here. I'd just like to visit and not have this whirlwind. Ok. So, I'm a completely horrid daughter. Sigh...
