Is it age mom - age 83

Is it just age with mom or should I worry?

I dont know what to do. I dont know if it is the beginning of something or just age. She never lets me finish a sentence, she cuts me off and acts hostile when she does it.

For example: Today we went to a food store (she is busy with food stores) and we first went to the bakery and then into the supermarket and I said to her give me your car keys to put these two packages from the bakery in the car and she refused to give them to me saying by the time you cross the street to put the packages in the car I will be finished here.

Then about five minutes ago I told her that I was debating whether or not to answer a job on Career Builders due to the fact the job is listed as confidential and when I tried to explain why I was debating she would not even let me explain.

I told her I cannot even have conversations with her any more. She says well you also screech. The only reason I screech at her is due to the fact she never lets me talk.

Also she jumped down my throat when I said to her two days ago that the cousin that passed away was like a sister to me. My mom got very upset at that and said to me "Did they call you when she was dying in the hospital, you have a sister" My mom knows I am very close to my sister and I was very close as well to my cousin. (MY mom did apologize for this later on saying she overreacted.

And last night when I had a glass of milk and she had a glass of milk as well I said to her "The milk tasted funny" and she said "Are you ok" and when I asked her why she said what she just said she replied because lately you have been saying things like that and when I asked her to clarify she got hostile.

Relax voterperson(Debbie)   ReLAX....try to find out from a therapist why you obsess over every tiny thing in your day.  Mom is 83.  She is cranky.  You are in your 50s.  You can choose not to be cranky.  Or you can spend hours and hours typing notes to Yedda and worrying yourself to death over nonsense. A mentally stable person in her 50s with a mother like the one you describe would have learned many many years ago to go about her business and ignore the cranky person in her life.  Can't you learn at least that much?

Cheating Moms and Dads

Who cheats more, moms or dads? Why is the addition of children to the family induce women (and presumably men) to cheat?
