0:00.0 | My entitled mother, who is a complete narcissist, refuses to take no for an answer, |
0:05.1 | but after having just about enough, I put my foot down and set some very clear boundaries. |
0:10.4 | Now she's enraged and refuses to talk to me, and I'm honestly not sure what to do. |
0:15.1 | Here's what happened. Don't forget to subscribe and hit the bell to never miss a video. |
0:18.9 | I am a 26 year old female and my mother is 56 years old, and honestly, |
0:23.6 | my mother has been a problematic presence in my life for basically my whole life. |
0:28.0 | But unfortunately, it's one of those relationships that's easier to put up with than to not put up |

1:14.1 | again, and I said no, explaining that even though the work wasn't hard, I couldn't manage the |
1:19.5 | mental stress of another responsibility. As a side note, I already have a full-time job. |
1:24.7 | She tried to tell me that it wasn't stressful, and again pushed the issue. I told her no again, |
1:30.1 | and didn't try to re-explain it because I'm specifically working on not over-explaining myself. |
1:35.1 | A few weeks later, she asked me again to help her out. And again, I said no, and to please not ask |
1:41.0 | me again. But still, she demanded to know why, and I explained to her that I had already told her why, |
1:46.6 | and I briefly reminded her my reasons as to why I didn't want to do it. She tried again to insist, |
