Smother=Mother
My Mom is in town and I feel like she is demanding and smothering. We have been having this conversation for about ten years now. It is constantly an issue every time I see her. This time it is worse because my 2 nieces and my brother are in town. She expects me to keep the 2 girls. It is WAY to much. I've been communicating this to her for about 2 days now and we just argue and she says I'm selfish, I've tried to compromise. I feel she is also completely over-indulgent. I've been praying and this and trying to gain wisdom. Today it just become too much and I broke down/blew up and told her that they all needed to leave my house and that I cannot see them. I am overwhelmed, stressed out and frustrated. I want to enjoy my time with them, not be so overwhelmed that I can't even function. Any incite?

I think you probably need to get away for a few hours. Grab some coffee and hang out for awhile. Or go see a movie. Just get out of the house and away from the family for awhile. I'll be praying for you. =)
