She thinks its funny.

Her getting annoyed is irrelevant in terms of putting boundaries into place. Her emotional responses are not your responsibility. If she tries to protest or take her annoyance out on you, you can politely but firmly remind her that you have expressed a boundary to her about going to the loo while on the phone to you, and that since she has ignored it you have had to take your own initiative to protect yourself.

Yeah, I guess so. I don't understand why she even does it. Have you ever had someone talk to you on the toilet @Jynx

Hi @tonys @StanD

@tonys I read your poetry, it is beautiful. The more I write in this forum the more creative I find myself becoming. I used to write a lot, short stories, poems, but once I got on the meds they seemed to dull my creativity and motivation. 

I'm old enough to remember going to school in the 80's so that should give you an idea of my age lol! A time when bullies were uncommon and life was uncomplicated.

I think you and I are probably around the same age, judging by the comments you have made.

Hope your night is going smoothly

What are you doing tonight @Shaz51

hi @Birdofparadise8. Just been reading your posts about your mum. I think it is bizarre that she would talk to you whilst on the toilet. I would never do that! Definitely need to set boundaries. 

It will be hard to start with and you may feel guilty, but in the long run it will be better for both of you. Your mum will start to respect you more and you will feel better within yourself.

@Shaz51 and @Birdofparadise8, sending you both hugs 💖🫂

I don't know how it will work @ENKELI 

I've been trying to set boundaries with both my parents for over a year. 

So it's not just me then thinking it's odd. I didn't think it was a normal thing.
