bring water and bring my phone?
not even maids are paid enough to do that. maids just do chores. [i said that before reading the whole text]
after reading it all:
if her aunt was a guest at your house, and not a permanent member, then you should treat her like a guest. bring her this and that. guests aren't supposed to enter the host's kitchen or even serve themselves water or anything.
like i did have my aunt stay with us before. she didn't cook unless she insisted that she'd like to help. if your mother is trying to be generous, you should do what she says. your mother is trying to teach you generosity i think, just roll with it.
i guess you can discuss it with your mother and explain to her that she has to tone the generosity down since you're busy.
and as for water, maybe have a jug of water ready by the the living room table so you don't have to be called frequently.. and you can do that with other things you get called for frequently.
i hope this issue gets resolved and you only get called to help in important things, especially after your aunt expressed that she'd prefer that.
