moms gonna mom

Out of work and living with my mother. She is a TERRIBLE cook but loving and generous. The house is full of crackers, cookies, cakes, chocolate, etc., all inedible. But I’m a diabetic. Just one other problem, she wants what she wants, when she wants it and how she wants it. And if she doesn’t get it, she is relentless. She doesn’t pay attention, blames the technology instead of reading the instructions, and demands that I fix “it”, whatever it may be. Starts things and expects me to finish them. Never bothers to say please and thank you, and constantly walks into my room without bothering to knock. It’s her space but seriously, am I not entitled to a little privacy? A few veggies. Have her finish her own projects and not clean up her mess? Am I asking for too much?
