My mom wakes up everyday and starts doing chores at 8 or even 7am. I'm still waking up drinking coffee and reading the news. I like doing dishes at 10 or 11....not 7 or 8. She carries this into overemphasizing things that don't need it. Such as 'working yourself to death' chipping thick ice off of a sidewalk so that she doesn't slip and fall and 'break a bone'....instead of simply sprinkling some sand on it and waiting for it to melt. She expects HARD WORK so much that she misses simple ways of dealing with things, relaxing and taking it easy on yourself.
