[quote=Anonymous]Op I hear you. My mother also 'helps'. She loves to organize and I am not the most organized. Also she isn't someone that ever sits and relaxes - she always has to be doing something. to her sitting and not being productive is lazy. So she is constantly in motion in my house just as she is in her own house trying to find little jobs that she thinks needs to be done. She is well intentioned and really thinks my protests are about her not working too hard or not wanting her to do work on vacation. So she mentally twists me telling her to stop and not do a,b and c as me just caring about her.

I too have used a disrespectful tone and felt guilty afterwards. I really, really wish she could just sit and relax and not always needing to be doing something but that isn't going to change. I can't change her. I do make her lists now and last time managed to keep her outside in the garden almost all day! Granted she was overheated and exhausted but at least my cupboards and drawers were safe. [/quote]
