My Mom WAS like that. We lived about a klick apart, and she would INSIST on coming to my house, kidnapping my laundry (that I was perfectly capable of doing myself) and then SHE would do it. I got a minor revenge in wearing pleated skirts as much as possible.
She also insisted that I be a ‘proper young lady’ and go to church with her so that I could be ‘brought up right’ and to find a ‘good young man’. Sorry, Mom. Did the whole ‘lavender marriage’ thing (look it up) with a guy I met while serving in Germany (I was seriously tempted to stay in Germany after my hitch was up!) but Mom and Dad offered this tremendous bribe of a house to their tomboy Army-veteran daughter….

If I was Lila, I would feel only joy staring down at her mom in coffin.

My answer to my mother was, “Do worry mom, we are having you cremated.”
