My mother wouldn’t like Jillian.
Jillian knows what she wants.
Excepting my mother, Jillian is the most stubborn woman I know.
Neither she nor I care what Mother might say.
Mother doesn’t know what Jillian brings to the table.
But I do.

I like the hidden something in this poem and I have been thinking about what Jillian might be bringing to the table- like your mother I don’t know and that is the whole excitement this poem brings.
Is there more ?

Loved the way you interpreted this prompt. That old age battle between mother and ‘that woman’ is captured so well in just 42 words.

Something different from the prompt…love that. A battle waged throughout history…I’m glad Jillian is winning and not mom.

Jillian sounds like a bad influence. In this case, mom may know best!

I like that your answer to the ultimate question is, essentially, “We don’t care.” Neat approach.
