Why she acted like this?!

Earlier tonight my mom came back from work and while opening the pantry door she noticed a plastic water bottle that I put here this morning and she got really angry and told me why u keep buying theses things (since I have 2-3 others in the fridge but there only one in the pantry, the one that I put here today) and then she told me to throw in the garbage and then she threw it in it, why she acted angry like that?!

Don't know the full story but second guessing:

•

She is tired after work and the first thing she hears when she comes through the door is "what's for dinner?" or "I need money for X" or some other request

•

She feels that nobody is helping her to keep the house clean and organised. And cleaning up after others after a long day at work makes her feel even more tired and doesn't leave any time to herself.

•

Quite possibly some money concerns because all the bills are going up. And seeing another "useless item" bought (if you already have 2-3 bottles, you don;t need the 4th!) was the last straw. Which lead to explosion.

Suggest next time she comes through the door be kind to your mum: give her a hug, ask her how her day was, offer a cup of tea and hold off any requests for 30 min. (and maybe help around the house more 😄)
