My entitled mother expects me to drop everything I'm doing despite illness and a messy divorce

0:05.7

just to provide baked goods for her and her family and she simply is not taking no for an answer

0:10.8

and at this point I'm so exhausted and sick I simply don't know what to do. Here's what happened.

0:15.8

So for some context I'm going through a very messy divorce. It's been going on now for nearly

0:20.5

six weeks. In fact I only found out I was keeping my house two weeks ago and I managed to get my cats

0:26.4

out of foster care and bring them home. Everything I have is going into keeping this house running as

homemade. The Christmas cake, the gingerbread, the cheesecakes, the brownies and the tarts,

and this is just the minimum of every happer. I usually make 10 to 15 ha so you can probably imagine

1:38.6

how much work and time it takes to get these things done. It's only in this last week that I've

sorted out the kitchen so I could even start preparing to get anything together and then the flu

1:49.3
