[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Your problem is not food. Your problem is you. You do not have the balls to set boundaries. “Mom, thank you for offering but my tastes have changed so much since I moved out that I don’t like the things I ate as a kid. So I don’t want you to cook while you’re here, except for yourself. Also, ten days is way too long. The most we can handle is three days.”[/quote] I understand this. I did tell them initially it was too long, but my father called me multiple times on the side saying that my mom is crying bc she wants to be "be here" for us. They're upset bc we have no plans to move closer to them and I feel like it's manipulative and childish of them but I really want her to feel better about herself. I realize that things can go south when I'm going to be hormonal which is why I was thinking to do lists and recipes will make her less of an awkward presence.[/quote]
