mum's self-created tensions

mum has this habit of complaining about the maid. i could only attribute her behaviour to her paranoia. you see, frequently and out of no where, she would make statements like... 

today, i do not know where the hell the maid went to, she said she wanted to go to the toilet and disappeared for a long time... or today, the maid very daring. during lunch chatted non-stop with another maid. 

i interpret these statements as mum's fear of the maid conniving with people to harm her as she had openly told me of her suspicions many a times before, or 

the maid very daring, ask money from me to head out of the rehab centre for lunch... or the maid very luxurious, the rehab centre provides food and she complained it is not nice, and asked money from me to head out for lunch... 

sighs... all these despite telling her again and again that the maid is not a patient of the rehab centre and has the ability and freedom to do what she likes, and providing lunch for her is our responsibility. if she eats in the rehab centre, they will charge me by the end of the month. otherwise, we need to pay for her lunch... had been explaining to her and assuring her that everything is fine but she insist that the maid must not wander around and that the maid must eat what the rehab centre provides...

sighs...
