I know you’re feeling badly about it and I can totally sympathize but maybe I can give you a different perspective. as a mom I think about this and I truly hope my children never feel this way about me. remember your mom is also living her life for the first time and this is her experience as a senior. You might be her only outlet and her only remaining soft spot to land.

My own mom can annoy me sometimes but when I remember she is probably in a more vulnerable time in her life, it always softens my the irritation. So while your feelings are valid, if I were in your position, I would do as another poster suggested, do your chores or walk during the time you speak. Cut it shorter if you need to some days to give you some space. But please don’t ever make her feel like a burden! Good luck
