[quote=Anonymous]Ha this sounds like my mom. It’s just habit for her and she’s stubborn. She probably has ADD, and anxiety.

It really is pretty hard to tolerate but it’s how she is. I have a similar story of when I was living with my husband before we got married. She was busy playing matchmaker and setting me up on dates even though I told her I had no interest. My husband was bewildered.

I’ve had to limit contact with her and when I’m with her, try to keep her distracted. My brother has uncanny ability to tune her out. And then my mom comes to me complaining he isn’t listening and tries to tell me what to do.

She was next level bossy when I made the mistake of having her stay with me after I had a baby. She didn’t do things for me. She thought she was helping me by telling me what to do and what not to do and how to do it the entire time. You need to drink water! You need to stop going up and down the stairs! You need to stop holding the baby, you will ruin the baby! You need to call the doctor and ask if it’s ok to drink beef broth!  And if I ignored her she would dial it up to compulsive levels and just end up losing her sh*t.

It was her way of “helping”. In her mind, that’s how she feels useful and contributes and loves me. But I feel you. It’s enough to drive anyone bonkers. You just have to laugh, because it’s so ludicrous.
