How to make my mom less stressed?

Question

How can I make my mom lessed stressed out? She is getting crazy lately because we're trying to get our house sold before Summer's end and then a few days ago she found out that she has to find a new job because her boss is selling the place (she works in realestate) and she was hte top person at her job there and made alot of money and now she has to find a new job and make the house really nice for an open house and find a new house and a bunch of stuff. I wanna do something nice for her because she seems to be getting mad at everuthing. I keep the house clean (Ima neat freak) and I offer to do things like mow the lawn and stuff (cuz she gets mad at me for doing nothing all the time) but then when I offer to do stuff she won't let me. What can I do for her. Something nice that I won't have to go out and buy stuff for because my father was the only one besides her who would bring me out to get stuff but Im not allowed to talk to him right now. So what can I do? And please don't say make a meal for her because she's gets freaked out when the kitchen gets messy. Idk when she is freaking out, I freak out. Like she's not going to crazy but idk it's just driving me crazy. Any iddeas?

Answer 1

while she is at work help clean the house, do some of the stuff that she would do after she got off of work

Answer 2

Does she have coffee in the morning?  You could wake up before her and have a cup of coffee ready for her when she gets up.  (Be sure to clean up!  But I think you already knew that...)

In the evening after a long day, if she stretches out on the couch to watch TV, you could give her a foot massage.

There are variations on these: hot cocoa with marshmallows, back massage, even a scalp massage if she'll let you touch her head!  These can all be relaxing, and help to ease stress.  Ask her if you can prepare a bubble bath for her - tell her you'll clean up the tub afterward.
