No, she was not right.

You were 12 and while it’s reasonable to expect you to be able do those things, to do them exactly the way she would have or even to be able to complete them all, is not.

There were days as a mom with toddlers that I didn’t get everything done that I had planned.

Thanks. Years later I realized she was probably in the middle of menopause, but it still hurts to remember. In fact more recently I cared for her while she was dying at my home, but the fact that I no longer felt deep love for her made watching her die more bearable. She did not want to die in a hospital, so I was able to give her that.
