[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Your post made me laugh because the exact same thing happened with my mom at my DD's baptism. She doesn't drive or walk, won't share bathrooms, and won't stay in hotels. She sulked and pouted because she couldn't sit with us in the pew for babies and godparents/parents at mass, and had to sit with the rest of the family. The bathroom adjacent to our guest room is also the main floor bathroom, and she created all sorts of drama because she was anxious about having to share "her" bathroom when the rest of the family came over for brunch after mass. The worst part of the visit was that she took 2 hours to get ready every morning and never seemed to be aware of how to use subtraction to estimate when to begin getting ready for a predetermined departure time. DD is older now and no matter what new boundaries I set my mom weasels around them and I have to create different ones for our next interaction.

we are clearly long-lost cousins. [/quote]

Yup, that's what untreated ADHD and anxiety will do to someone. No sense of time, and irrational need to have safe routines and places.[/quote]
