Living with an adult 6 year old

It's actually fucking stupid how much i have to say about this. It's insane that i have to be her parent. I went on an outing with my mom to keep her company. She was dancing outside a shop and i politely asked her to stop because people in cars right by us were staring, which she didn't. I said nothing else about it. When we entered the store she kept going, which i didn't care about as i was singing and dancing along myself. As we left the shop she turned and said to the shop keeper "I'm gonna dance out of here, because i can. She hates when i do that!" I was embarrassed because these shopkeepers constantly come to my work to do business and i have to see them every day. So i politely told my mom she did not have to do that (I also said it in Portuguese, so people would not understand). She started hysterically laughing and told me to fuck off in English, and quite loud. She kept being disrespectful and childish, so i walked away with my little sister. We waited by the car, once she came back and we got in the car, she started screaming at me, saying i have no right to stop her from dancing or being happy, which was not at all my intention. I have no problem with her dancing or whatever, usually i join, if we're in a shop. I have a problem with grown woman acting like 6 year olds. I will quickly forget about this, as i'm not petty or childish. I just needed to get it off my chest! I have a huge problem with people who demand respect while doing 0 effort to be respectful. She does not automatically deserve respect just because she is my mother! We all know there are shitty parents out there who don't deserve it. I treat everyone the same, whether or not you are family! IT IS NOT OKAY FOR YOU TO DEMAND RESPECT OUT OF SOMEONE WHO YOU MAKE 0 EFFORT TO RESPECT! PERIOD! Why do i have to be an adult in this situation, why do i have to walk away and restrain myself, when i did nothing wrong? Should i just take her to parks more often, so she can play with the other 6 year olds?! I was always nice, respectful and quiet, she i cannot say about her. It's disgusting that there is a whole group of parents out there who do the bare minimum to treat their children right, and we're still supposed to praise them for that bare minimum! Do keep in mind, my mom is in her 40's and i'm 22. I'm not a moody 16 year old complaining about her mom who embarrassed her a little. I expect respect from everyone because i'm expected to be respectful, but this is a fucking joke!
