Okay I love my mom & get along with her really...
my mom is the same type of needy… I used to forcefully shove her Talk To Me, Child time to some other more acceptable part of the day by blinking sleepily and insisting “No, I’m sorry, I want to listen but I am so tired, can we reschedule tomorrow’
A great idea! That doesn't really work in my case. :/
Since my sleep schedule is super fucked right now, basically after I work is the only time my mom sees me. I mean, I'm awake in the morning-ish before she leaves. But holyfuckno,peoplestayaway. I've also told her that I'm often incapable of being around people in the morning, at all. Like being seen. My existence being observed. So I literally just go back to sleep, no matter what I have to get done that day. It's been a huge problem, especially when there ISN'T a time that everyone leaves/goes to their room. So I'm just in bed until I have to get ready for work & don't have time to eat or anything.
Even then though... I just... don't..... want interaction... that isn't on my terms.
And she's very much in the "as a parent I have special rights to you" camp.
