If it’s just a scented candle she doesn’t like, it stinks. Not “what’s that smell?” But what stinks? It’s very judgemental. It bugs the crap out of me.

I don’t know what part of the genetic code makes this a necessary part of humanity, but it totally is – across all cultures.

The worst is when we start doing those exact things that annoy us about our moms…

After all, just because you clean or hire cleaners, that doesn’t even every square centimeter of space is done. And even if the area WAS cleaned, pee might need a special solvent. The blacklight will find it where ever that is. Trust me. Jackson Galaxy uses it on his show to find where cats have peed. Since they can spray, it can be anywhere.

I’m sorry, I sympathise with your Mom. I have a good sense of smell and it can be quite a burden. I’ve had the odd episode of my cat (or a stray that gets in the flap) spraying and it sends me nuts cleaning, but it always seems to linger for days 🙁 Good luck with Thursday, I’m looking forward to hearing all about it!

Your mom is my mom. Except my trigger is, “you’re not perfect enough and I will do everything I can to improve you.” Drives me freaking crazy. Everytime she visits we have a smell or she points out something that needs to be fixed, otherwise it will probably burn the house down or fill our walls with mold. My steps are to 1) pray my butt off before she visits, 2) believe that she has a stronger sense of smell, 3) constantly remind myself that I and my house are awesome they way we are, 4) remember that she does the same thing to my sister and this is her struggle. Usually, I still explode.

It’s how we ensure that when our children move out, they never want to move back in.

At least you know that you have to change your reaction to her instead of trying to teach her to stop picking on you. All you can do is hope that she will.

But she won’t.

My mother hates everything in my house. The dining room chairs, our toilet-paper holders, where the dishwasher is located. She complains about it every time she’s here.

I retaliate by complaining about it to others, who then tell me how great she is. You know what? She is.

But I’m still not changing those toilet-paper holders.

No, seriously, can we all just stop stereotyping women, men, moms, sons, etc.? “All mothers are annoying.” “All women have more sensitive noses.” Really? Yes, some mothers nag; sometimes it’s the dad, sometimes it’s neither: my parents have never commented on the lack of cleanliness of my home in 30 years, and there have been times when plenty could have been said. And, I visit my two daughters at their apartments and would never insult them by saying anything about how clean or not the place is.

It is what it is. I’ve tried everything I know to deal with it and I’m not bothered by it. If it bothers you that much, then please stay somewhere else.” Boundaries, man. Boundaries. Try it and see what happens. And maybe Febreze?
