OK, its been years since my mum upset me by her opinions on my life and poking her nose in.
I have 4 kids, and she thinks I am crazy and wont be able to cope because we have just bought a puppy. She keeps phoning me and telling me how I wont cope, how Ive taken too much on. Tonight my dad chipped in and told me I wanted my brain testing.
The obvious answer is F. off mother Im a big girl now, but recently I have relied on her for emotional support. Trouble is, when I do this, she sort of gets over involved in my problems and quizzes me daily on progress of this that and the other. This then leads to a period of me not telling her anything because I resent the interference.
Am I being unreasonable to expect my 76 year old mother to stop criticizing my decisions,interfering etc., after all Im 50 and I left home when I was 19!!
