[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]“Mind your business.” Keep the tone neutral, but that’s the response. Every time.[/quote] pp from above. that doesn't work with my mom. she blows up at me every time I'm not answering to her satisfaction. Last night she TOLD me I needed to buy a scooper for cat litter box. I don't. She never cleans the box and never will. But she needs to tell me what to do. I told her I'm handling it and no I don't need to buy it (albeit in a very annoyed way). She started yelling at me calling me names and hasn't talked to me since. [/quote] So I’m not that pp but the advice does work. In fact, you used a version of it when you told your mom you were handling the kitty litter. Did she have a negative reaction? Yes, she did. But that’s on her. Continue to assert yourself, let her have her reaction. Eventually she will stop telling you what to do or stop coming around. No one said it would be easy or the other person will take it gracefully.[/quote]
