Anyway my mom and I are starting to butt heads. Thursday I was helping her set the table and we were having corn on the cob for one of our entrees and she said don't forget to put the butter on just as I had pulled it out of the fridge and then I was getting the corn thingys (the trays and corn skewers) and she tells me not to forget the skewers. I admit I had some attitude when I responded. But I get so tired of being told to not forget something as I am doing it or just not getting yet. It's like she expects me to forget to do something and it is making angry.
How would you handle it?

I walk over to my mom and give her a hug and say "gee I come up to your same height, all grown up now see" and my mom laughs and says "sorry for being a mother hen", and I say back "once a mother always a mother" and my mom says back "to death do us part" and we laugh.
I do this cause I know its been hard for my mom to let each one of us "babies" grow up and it was hard for her to cut the apron strings, Its also hard on my mom to realize my generation is a different generation of ways of life than hers was. In her day family stayed close and no matter how old you were you were still considered your parents children and mind your elders no matter how old you were. now days its so much different by the time kids are teen agers they are embarrassed to be seen with their parents let alone their parents remind them about something and gosh forbid if the parent leaned over and kissed or hugged you in public these days. LOL
so I try to honor my moms way of life and also found a gentle comical way to remind her Im all grown up now.
