[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Would someone rearrange things in a friend's home? Why does "mother" act differently? I know it's fairly common but why would it ever be acceptable? I think many of you need to think of how you "depend" on your mother, and consequently why you "allow" this type of thing.[/quote]

You are missing the point. The mother is not going to change her behavior. Yes, OP can ban her from her home. She also can try to live with it or kindly redirect. Many of us have come to terms with the fact that we cannot change the behavior of our parents, and it is not worth it to turn an otherwise pleasant visit into a battle royale over the junk drawer.

I think there are many, many women who would give anything to have one more visit with their mothers. Getting into a screaming match over a relatively trivial (and possibly age-related) habit is not worth it when time with your mother is limited.[/quote]

+1.  Well said.  PP here and this is the point I was trying to make - you were far more eloquent. [/quote]
