My mother has a form for this and for my whole life I’ve thought it’s absolutely normal (not like I’d feel able to ask).
I’ve invited her to come stay as her depression has got worse while shielding by herself. It’s not like she doesn’t feel at ‘home’ as she’s happily gone through my cupboards and moaned about dust sitting on the back tins etc and reordered my towel rack. She’s also been fine using the last bit of milk this morning for one of her milky coffees.
Yesterday she asked me to make her a cup of tea (I was in the garden enjoying a bit of sun talking to a friend on the phone) and this morning I was weeding the front garden. Both times she’s walked past the kettle (and by the time it’s taken me to take my shoes off + wash my hands the kettle would have already boiled).
Is this perfectly normal or is my mum being a CF (probably because she’s a control freak and likes to be ‘on top’).
