Mom relies on kid for everything

DEAR HARRIETTE: I love my mom, but she treats every little thing like an emergency, and it’s starting to wear on me. Whether she needs help changing her phone settings, opening a jar, finding a contact or even choosing a dress for an event that is months away, everything is urgent to her. She’ll ask me something repeatedly (even when I’ve already told her I’ll get it done), wake me up or interrupt whatever I’m doing just to get immediate help — or sometimes just to show me something she finds funny.
