Had a conversation with someone who is like a mom to me.

Back story:

She's a former client. During call to fix her pc years ago she said it was lonely with xmas coming up so she always likes to hear what others are doing. She asked what me and wife is doing. We felt bad she had noone so we dropped a little gift & card off on her doorstep. She was so happy. 7 months later I get a Text saying she wanted to talk. Since she had noone she wanted us to be her legal persons for all her stuff. I told her if that's what she wants sure. (She doesnt have much) but mainly take care of selling off stuff ensuring stuff is paid etc. I ensured her anything left over would go to whatever family. She said no, that's not what she wants. Her family doesn't talk & no kids.

Present:

She was in hospital for stomach issues this week. The day she messaged me at 6am saying she needs ride to hospital. I jumped up half asleep, got ready, took her to hospital. Waited. Took her home made sure she was ok.

5 days later. She calls today & tells me she couldn't do her shopping from being weak. Says "I dont know what ur doing tomorrow & would like help going to the store". I said it depends on time because I have a client on one side of valley at 9 & another on other side. She says something (I didn't quite catch it) but then says she will go to frys at 6am when the store opens. I said I'm not sure I'm good to go that early in the morning but will try.... And she immediately said "You don't listen. Thats not what I meant i said nevermind. Forget it." Then hung up. I texted I'm sorry if i had said something to make her mad and she said "you're right, its all about you. No more texting, I'm glad you are my legal person so let's leave it at that"

This isnt the first time we had a tif, previous she'd bring up suggestions for my business, telling what to do & how to market it and types of clients I should target. I always say thank you but that's not what I want to do. I do mobile computer repair. But since I helped her with her phone before, her TV & a bunch or other stuff around her house she is convinced I need to do market it all. I explained I like repairing or building computers, none of the other stuff. It turned into an argument where she said I don't appreciate her experience & I'm selling myself short by not doing the other tech stuff because I'm good at it. She said I'm a know it all and the polite thing to do would be to say "that's a good idea. Thank you". Ok, next time she brings up suggestions I said "that's a good idea. Thank you!." She went deep into explaining how I need to execute. I was polite and figured she wanted to feel helpful. Fast forward, she wouldnt stop bringing up the question of whether or not I implemented it & why she didn't see the changes in my online business profile. I told her it was a good idea but I just wanted to continue doing what I was doing. She blew up big time on me. Telling me I'm an inconsiderate know it all again

AITA?
