Well-meaning help
My well-meaning mum went shopping for me last night after she brought me home, and bought me a 3 litre-milk which triggered an emotional tirade from me. Nothing that can't be fixed of course, I just ...

Hi Keily,
Seems to be part of a mum's DNA. Mine is the same. I know how frustrating it is!
Good news is my mum lives a day's drive from me ... and she doesn't drive.
Bad news is my sister is bringing her down to visit for a few days at the end of the month, when I'll be starting radiation ... and she is insisting on coming into the rad unit with me! OMG!!! You, me and everyone else knows she won't be able to do that, but I can just picture her on the day!
My sister and I have already decided to give her a couple of small household jobs to do while she is here. I know she just wants to help and to be be made to feel useful, but she is elderly and it will be more a point of us looking after her!
Still, she's my mum and I'd be complaining if she wasn't around right now, so I'll find simple things for her to do, the things I hate! Maybe a basket of ironing while watching television or something similar.
Good luck with you and yours! I know it is an old cliche, but you will be laughing about the 3 litre milk down the track.
Take care
Hugs
