[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, I feel for you. This is totally my mom. [b]She wants to come "help" so she can tell all her friends how much she helped out[/b], but she literally causes more work to be done. She's completely incapable of jumping in and doing something, like laundry.
Make a list of everything that has to be done and ask her which ones she would like to do and then mark the list.
That's all I've got because I have never successfully gotten my own mom to change.[/quote]

This is my mom too.. all about her getting praise and attention. [/quote]

This is my mom, but she lived closer. She would "babysit" for 90 minutes tops and maybe now and then would be willing to change a diaper. Mostly she just called me and told me to come home if diaper smelled or baby wasn't being fun. She also sat even a newborn in front of TV the whole time in bouncy chair to train newborn to zone out so I could get breaks? She was willing to do bottles of breastmilk because baby was sweet and cuddly with that. She then bragged about how helpful she was to everyone who would listen. Much easier to hire someone so i didn't feel anxious waiting for the call.[/quote]
