I love you mom,..but I DONT WANT TO SEE YOU EVERY DAY

Where was she when I was growing up? She was busy dating this one or that one,..trying to remarry so that she would not be alone. I was moving here and there with her. Now, I have to see her almost everyday to do her many chores, shopping, ugly phone calls to businesses...remember where she might have put this or that. Hey,..I love you,..but I dont want to see you every day. Since I got laid off she forgets that I still have boundaries. She never hesitates to ask me to do this or that. I'm getting very sick of this whole arrangement. I will have to get her outside help. I cant be cleaning her house, my house,..etc.
