[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This seems crazy to me that you are so bothered by this. Think of all your mother must have done for you in your life and you begrudge her this? Ugh, I feel sorry for her having a kid like you. [/quote]

+1  I was ready to take OP's side when they said they get pulled into "more involved" tasks, but then it was . . . picking something up or setting out name tags.  I'm getting the feeling that OP is a man and thinks visiting family means mom doing for him, not him helping mom.  He can't quite explain why this is a problem without articulating that he's a jerk, so he's worked himself up about university marketing budgets.  It's kind of funny, really.[/quote]

I like to assume the best of people. But I am getting an image of OP as a young man whose mom was a SAHM while he was growing up and he’s used to her doing all the work for him, serving him. Now she has a job outside the home AND is asking him to help, and he’s having trouble with the whole thing.[/quote]
