i understand you, can even relate a lot
my mum is pretty religious and follows a lot of practices and ... extra traditions, and really does expect me to follow them too
at first i just tagged along, since that was what i had been conditioned to do
but now that i'm older, i realise that i was never that dedicated to those practices and i wasn't genuinely doing them, so i'm slowly stopping to follow those.
so what you could do is, take her word and agree when she tells you about them, but do what you feel like doing and when she questions you about it, say something in the lines of "oh the situation wasnt suitable" or "you're right but i think my way would suit this better"
tbh, it would be hard to satisfy her in every way but maybe taking these small steps would help?
