How can I finally enjoy my own life? I'm tired of taking mom to Hollywood casino almost every day.

Why did you start a new thread when you were getting good answers to your thread: "How can I keep peace with mom and finally have a life with a decent man?"

The way to enjoy your own life is to enjoy your own life. Tell your mother you will take her to the casino once every X amount of time and that is IT. She can stand on her head on the roof if she'd like, and pout until next week, but you are not a chauffeur service for her. Let her ride the bus there or find somebody else to enable her because you are DONE.

You just need to learn to say NO. If Mom can be left alone, do what you want. If not, find a sitter. Only u can take ur life back. BOUNDRIES

I can't imagine!! I take my mom maybe every 6 weeks, and that is plenty for me, and normally for her. Can you get her a tablet, and load some casino games on it,, just disable the features that want you to spend money for real. My mom likes the free games.. Hollywood has a an app.. we downloaded that. I will say there are a lot of adds on them all, but hubs set it up so she can't spend real money. We just got her a new Kindle to replace her Veriizon tablet, so we are going through a learning curve..but it's OK so far

Do you live with mom, or she with you?

How did this come to be?

Are you able to set a reasonable expectation for her, like you will take her to the casino once a week?

Why does it matter if she "gets nasty"? You're an adult, yes? You are allowed to say no to your mother when you're an adult.
