Parent Problems
Hey there,
I’m a 52-year-old woman feeling a bit frustrated with my 75-year-old mom. She spends most of her time playing mobile games and watching *** Reel videos, often neglecting to clean up after herself or do the dishes. This isn’t the first time I’ve noticed this behavior; it reminds me of when I was growing up. I know she’s perfectly capable of taking care of her own mess.
How do I handle this? Or how can I handle this while visiting?

I feel she should be more vigilant with her chores.
I don't believe it's really your responsibility. My mother is like that. It is a very frustrating thing to deal with. I empathize with you totally..Thanks for sharing! 🌲
@AsherTree You're welcome and thanks 🤗. How do you handle your mother when she gets like this? I tend to bottlethe emotionsup, because I don't want say something I would regret.

You should probably ask another listener. I would just ask what's the problem? Why won't you keep the house clean? I failed to make much progress with her but she at least started to do the dishes more often.
She’s 75 most people no longer have their parents around and miss them everyday! If her playing mobile games ( she’s 75 what else could she be doing) and not cleaning is minor things) enjoy the time you have with her
@ArtByT2026 I am so sorry you are dealing with this. It is totally natural to feel frustrated. Please hang in there, and I hope things get better for you soon
