Thing is, B is really frazzling her daughter. During the day, something comes up, B wants to call her at work. Even if she doesn't, there's usually an ATTEMPT at Physical therapy and things like hair dressers etc so my friend is taking hours off work she has to make up later to accomidate her mother's needs. Then when my friend does come home, that's when B comes out to the living area to join us all, including her daughter. WHich is fine within moderation. Add to that B now pushing the 'when the car goes out anywhere but your work I want to be in it' angle (Not her exact words but her attitude) her daughter gets very little time without her mother
