The best ways to deal with a misbehaving mother: -Treat your mother well. -Gently advise her, from time to time, to give up her bad behaviour. -Explain to her how sinful her deeds are and what punishment awaits her if she does not stop. -If she does not respond, then keep away from her in a good way. -Do not mix with her in ways that will adversely affect your religion, but do not upset her either.
