Hi Samantha,

Be careful of rewarding people for bad behavior. It’s a slippery slope to people pleasing.

Your mom is probably critical of you because she wants the best for you, and would rather have you do things right the first time than have you be beat up by the world. Warped, huh? That, or she takes it all out on you and it’s become a bad habit.

I would let her be responsible for her own feelings.

Best,

Inky

P.S. I give my kids Valentine’s Day chocolate as a token, not the other way around, if that gives you context.
