SMother

A hyper vigilant and sometimes overbearing mother that smothers their adult child/ren with limitless love, affection, attention, devotion, loyalty, and food; with a few unrealistic demands.

While her offspring appreciates her and efforts, laughter, eye rolling, and a firm “STOP IT” are the arrows in their quiver.

However, the occasional acquiescence to her attention is always met with joy and more smothering.

This behavior is considered normal for a grandmother.

Boss: You looked a little exasperated on that call. Who were you speaking to?

Adult Child/Employee: That was my SMother wanting to discuss my profile portrait on the company website. She doesn’t feel it captured my best features and wants it shot again.
