Yep. And don't lose your cool.

PS- there was a thread a while back about people whose relatives are/were teachers feeling like they know everything and barking orders. Your mom sounds like she fits the stereotype![/quote]

OP here. Unfortunately, she does. She has always spoken to everyone in a family as if they're children. She asks the questions, they're supposed to have answers and can be swayed with money or food. She is getting worse by the year and on top of it, has anxiety issues.

Funny thing about this situation-- when I was about 4 years old, my mom used to drop me off every morning at her friend's house to be babysat before school started. This friend had a daughter who actually was a little bully and at various points, made my childhood difficult. Still, my mother made me go to their house every morning (it was basically free babysitting) and when I was older, continue to spend time there because, in her words, "[Larla's] mom is such a nice person and a good friend of mine."
