Plus: How do I make it clear she can’t help me set up my new house?
I bought a house, and during that lengthy process, she called frequently to inquire about how it was going. It was as if I could hear her mentally wringing her hands. Now my moving date is set, and she has repeatedly insisted I allow her to help me pack, unpack, lay shelf liner, clean the bathroom and cook.
I have repeatedly responded to her offers by saying, “Oh, Sally, I’d really enjoy it if you’d just come over and have a cup of coffee with me and see the house. Please don’t bother cooking, or even think about cleaning the bathroom!” I realize she wants to feel useful. None of her children live here; she is in her early 70s and mostly retired.
