[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Or they just don’t actually enjoy helping. My mother offers to help in certain situations, because her friends did it for their kids or because she knows it’s socially expected. But she doesn’t like helping or “mothering” in that way, so she is dead weight when she appears. It’s so frustrating, though, to need help and have someone offer it and come but not actually give it. For me—and man6 of us, I suspect—it’s jus5 playing out my childhood again, when I took care of her.[/quote] I am sure some women should have never become mothers- especially from previous generations with three children by 23. It is no wonder they act childish and petulant and require parenting by their children. A kind of learned helplessness that is sort of a structural defiance.[/quote]
