My mum and I are very different people but I adore her - she's my mum - heart of gold but so bad-tempered, judgemental and opinionated. I'm almost 50 with 2 (almost) grown children and she still gets on as if I'm 10 and she's my boss. I've always bitten my tongue or brushed it off but recently I'm so sick of listening to it. Someone said never mess with a woman in her 40s - she's had enough of everyone's shit. Am I just being less tolerant or just finally setting a boundary??
