What an interesting question. "you don't have to help me, go help someone else" is still the message in both category 1 and 2.
For me, that would imply, you can help me but not if you're going to rush me. Because the mother was always rushing me, so I was like, okay, I give up, you go ahead and peel the potatoes, mom, I can learn some other time. So now it IS totally scary to have to backtrack and learn all those old lessons. Plus I'm mad - I should have learned these skills long ago, and now it's just too late. But then I see people on here complaining about how old they are - and they're half or a third my age, and then i'm like I don't know what to think. all anyone has is NOW.
