[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 711807, member: 1233"] I also think there is a bit of control involved. I had a friend who had both her mom and grandma as stay at home moms as she grew up. She could not do a single chore even as a senior in high school to their satisfaction. Not even making her bed could be done 'properly'. She did it every single day, but they still had a hissy fit about how she did it and they did it over again. It was a way to control her. She went to college and was helpless in major way. I can remember her calling me long distance to figure out how to do laundry and cook because she felt stupid and she knew I wouldn't make her feel bad. She knew I understood why she didn't know anything. My father has taken over some household chores since he retired. Mostly because he has always wanted to over-direct small tasks for some reason. He used to drive us nuts when I was growing up. He now does the laundry because he started to watch my mother as she loaded the machines and folded/hung up loads, and even told her how to do it better. Better based on what? His opinion. He even got mad when she didn't immediately jump on his ideas. So she DID jump on them, and she turned the ENTIRE operation over to him, and he has to do ALLLLLL the laundry. [/QUOTE]
