I find my mother very difficult to get along with it. She gets over emotional, very nosy, jealous of my relationship with my in-laws etc. I don't enjoy spending time with her as she drones on about people I don't know for ages or else prys for information about my life. If I tell her anything about my life she goes on and on about it - or might somehow throw it back at me in future when she is annoyed. I now keep our conversations vague or switch the conversation back to her if she is prying too much. Like she will dig for information on my in-laws but I can tell deep down she is seething if she feels we have spent extra time with them or they have got something she hasn't.
She sometimes texts trying to guilt trip me into ringing my dad if he is not well or something. She is so emotional about it that it gets my back up. I almost feel like not ringing him because of the manner in which she asks. If I ring him then its like I'm confirming to her that her irritating emotional pleading worked and she'll think she should keep doing it.
I wish she'd just back off and let me manage my relationships with other people. If I say this to her then I'm the bad guy.
