I noticed that my mother wash our clothes everyday and cleaning the whole house afterwards. I told her to rest even for a day or just do the laundry every other day so that she can able to rest and regain strength. I am a bit worried because she might attack by her hypertension due to tiredness.

My mom is the same way, I guess they're both OC and so keen on having clean clothes and clean house that sometimes it is hard to persuade them to put their feet up and just relax. We used to have a helper and nanny when we were still little but my mom is still so hands-on in cleaning the house and making sure that the clothes are properly ironed and folded.

To work properly is good to us, but to overwork is another story. You are right to tell your mother to have a rest instead of doing all the household chores in one day. A good rest from a day or two will only make the work more effciently.

. We have the sane dilemma. My mom does the same and I always talk to her about this but she insists that she has to do something to keep her mind and body active. In which I agree. But I always remind her that if she feels tired, she must rest.

I think that she feels she has to do all that because you have her and her husband at your house and because you have put the help with washing and cooking in terms of payment. If youare worried for her, maybe you can help her in the way of doing some things together and making her feel that she is a person that knows more and that can teach you.

some times it is very hard to give up things that we have done our whole life while it is very important to take care of our body's as we get older it becomes hard to give up what we now and we tend to want to give up on life when we take things away might i say try to help out your mother and this will slow her down a little bit
