Thanks for all the hugs guys. It's annoying, but we're trying to work out our relationship. I know she doesn't do it to be mean, and really intends to be helpful. I'm going to tell her when her advice is unwelcome or just repeated to often that it goes stale. I tend not to react well either and get angry. Maybe it's just part of a mother/daughter relationship. Who knows? It was great to have all this support.
