1. Boys can and do play with Barbies. 2. Nobody got on FML for a life lesson (except maybe those learned by the errors of the OP) 3. It's obnoxious to make a numbered list like this instead of just stating your point using sentences.

Just a short phase for now...it should end soon talk to her after work...

*too

Working with mom oh wait it was just a nightmare I'm okay

My mother and I are very close, but if I worked for her it would feel really weird to call her Mrs. Anything instead of Mom.

My mother works in IT in my hometown, and I got hired as a programmer there when I was younger. We interacted almost daily due to our job overlap. We kept it very professional and actually worked wonderfully together. The secret is we knew that the interpersonal boundaries at work were different than at home. OP, sounds like your mother could use a talking to from HR. While in that office, she is a coworker first and a mother second. She's needs to get on board or get out.

YIKES good luck with that OP

Back in high school (Over 6-7 years ago) I started interning at a preschool where my mom was one of the two teachers there. Her boss (and lead teacher) was my preschool teacher when I, and all my siblings went to preschool there. We never had an issue...except we would sometimes having a hard time switching out of kid mode when we got home. I've been substitute and assistant teaching there ever since and babysit/nanny a fair amount of kids there. I have always called her "Mrs. ..." and even out of school it slips out. We have a mutual understanding and we work on the same level so we never have an issue with 'rank' and since she's my mom I feel comfortable telling her my honest opinions on things.

I think you need to have a talk at home, with a friend as mediator. Tell your mother that the things you shared with her are personal and cause problems in the work place. Then explain that, while you love her and respect her as the woman who raised you, it makes you seem less capable by having to refer or defer to your mother. If it does not stop, take it up with HR and ask for her to be moved or put on a different shift if possible. No need to make a huge deal out of it before you talk to her honestly and tell her how you feel. If she does not respect it, then its now a work problem.

Damm, i work at the same place with my mom, but different hours, and even when we do have the same hours its in different parts of the place, glad shes not like that tho, fyl lol
