[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You want her presence because you are recuperating, but she’s not your nurse or servant and she’s elderly. It’s probably emotionally comforting that she’s with you during this time. I suggest you hire a mother’s helper on care.com or a neighborhood kid to assist with chores. [/quote]

My mom isn't elderly. She's in her early 50s.

I have friends that offered to help me, which is fine. However, I need someone around full time for the next week or two and unfortunately. My mom was the only option as I don't have a partner at the moment.

I think this is likely a bigger issue than her helping out for surgery as she is having marital problems and also she is having a midlife crisis since she has an empty nest and wants to find herself(she started a family right out of high school). [/quote]

Stop mixing everything up. You sound totally insane, PP. Are you in a lot of pain or on brain-addling meds? Because those would be the only excuse, although I suspect you're just like this all the time.

Most people don't clean up right away. It's OK. She'll get to it eventually, so don't nag her. If she left some stuff overnight, maybe you can issue a gentle reminder, that's all.
