It’s a 40-mile round trip in crazy traffic, and then I have to do it again in the evening.
Encourage her to ask if she could rideshare with a co-worker and repay the person for the gas. Even if it didn’t happen every day, it might relieve some of the stress on you.
Also, if she would be willing to take a bus to and from work on the lightest ridership day, it might make driving her more palatable. It’s worth a try.Our mom just turned 100, and she is in good health. I threw a big birthday celebration to honor this amazing woman. My brother and I were adopted as infants. She gave us a fabulous childhood, and we grew up to be responsible adults.
My brother, who’s retired, lives 6 miles from Mom, but he never goes to see her or offers any type of help he is capable of doing. He thinks a daily phone call is enough. He didn’t even show up to her birthday party.My brother and I do not talk, so how do I get the point across that he needs to spend time with her? If I mention it to Mom, she constantly makes excuses for his behavior. What can I do?Although you and your brother were raised by the same woman, you are two different individuals.
You cannot control his behavior, so quit making it your problem. You are a dutiful and loving daughter. Leave it at that.She criticizes my house decor, my hair, my makeup, etc.I no longer feel good being around her, but she’s part of my larger circle. Please tell me how to handle this.In my experience, people who can’t resist the urge to “improve” those around them with “helpful” criticism are insecure and trying to make themselves feel superior.
