I feel frustrated with my mom

I feel frustrated because my mom keeps taking on so much responsibilities “out of love” but underestimates how much time she has so she ends up with delegating so much of it to me.

I woke up today with a set mental schedule of what I will need to finish today and what events/meetings I have to attend. My plan for this morning was just to change my bedsheets, eat, and head to my first meeting of the day. All was ruined when my mom barged in and started assigning me tasks like clothes she started washing because my dad wasnt able to, refill dishwashing liquid, and when she saw me washing my bedsheet, told me that i should wash it as well like ????? Why are you so INSISTENT on making me do a lot? I wish you would consider that MAYBE I already had a personal schedule in order to feel less anxious about my day. YES, doing things out of love for people is good but only if you have enough time for it. Because when things get too much, it starts to be more dependent on other people that didn’t sign up for it (AKA ME)

It doesn’t help either that the past times this issue was brought up, I feel like I get guilt tripped for not thinking more lovingly.

I know Ill be okay later but in the moment, I just feel really frustrated.
