I have a wonderful and loving mom.[/quote]

Me too.  My mom is my hero. She is a beloved matriarch of the entire extended family. [/quote]

Does she and did she do the stuff OP's mom does throughout her life or is she kinder? Is it you taking barbs better from her or your mom having less of them throughout your life?[/quote]

My mom has always been very principled and super hardworking throughout her life.  She had her priorities straight in life and she really felt a deep down obligation to take care of her family in the best possible way. She remains a doting grandmother to this day.  Of course, my dad respected her a lot and handed her everything that he earned. So she ruled the house and also had a very supportive and devoted husband.

She has had a simple philosophy and that is - you have full control of how you can behave. So even if you don't have money or resources or are in a bad situation - you can make things better by being loving, caring and kind to each other.

The daily discipline that she follow to this day is that  - wonderful delicious food is made every single day in the morning and anyone who comes to the house at mealtime is fed,  the full house is cleaned, the plants and pets are fed, she takes a bath in the morning and prays every day, and of course, the clothes are washed in the morning and she sits in the evening to iron the lot.   Not only this has kept her fit in her 80s, but, whenever the world seems to be crashing around us, my mom has relied on her daily routine to get us through each day with strength and comfort.  She has always had a solid structure to her life and day and that has allowed her to always be helpful, nurturing and loving to all of us. She is not an entitled person at all, she is not judgemental and she is too busy to care about other people business. [/quote]

So no she doesn't.[/quote]
