Clock-checking

Mom has a curious obsession with the time.  She is adamant that, every week or two, I MAKE SURE that each clock is set exactly correctly.  I have to look at my cell phone (which I assure her is set to the Atomic Clock), then look at each of her clocks to be sure they're still right.  She has an electric one, that is of course always correct, and a battery-powered one which I suppose could lose battery power.  And she has a mantle clock which does need occasional tweaking by a minute or so back or forward.

But ... why is the exact time so important?  She doesn't have an intensely scheduled day.  It's curious to me.
