Hi. Yesterday, my daughter became annoyed because I didn't feel like walking around the grocery store with her. I gave her my credit card and the grocery list. I told her I would sit in the car. My legs felt like tires were wrapped around them. This was our 2nd stop of the morning. She commented that I was getting lazy and stormed out of the car.
My children are the loves of my life. I spend more time with my daughter than my son because she VOLUNTEERS to go most places with me.
During the afternoon, she was cooking and commented, "you can help me. You are not sick. I reminded her that I cook, maybe twice per year, for the last several years. Cooking has never (in her lifetime) been my thing. My husband used to cook before he passed away. Now, my daughter enjoys cooking and VOLUNTEERS to cook periodically.
Obviously, I need to talk to her further. Those comments clearly let me know how she feels. And I guess I was surprised and somewhat hurt. She knows me better than anyone on earth.
If I don't talk to her about it I am concerned that animosity will begin to surface between us. I LOVE my daughter too much to allow that to happen. She has always had my back!
I have always been very independent and never wanted to be a burden on anyone (including my children). I don't want to feel like I am taking advantage of her or blocking her life.
Thank you for listening!
