anyones mom like this?
I'm having such issues with my mom lately...I think she's having major issues excepting that I am an adult and have a brain and thoughts of my own. She argues with me about everything....and gets mad at me if I don't agree with what she thinks or says and it's getting so annoying.
This weekend she gave me my old car insurance papers and said that it was so show me what I needed...I responded saying "thanks, I already know what to get" (switching to FI's insurance). She get's all cocky with me and says "Oh of course you do, you know everything don't you". It's like she can't be happy that we are independent adults who actually know how to do things on our own.
With my sister being pregnant it's been worse b/c my sister tells me everything....My sister was telling me how my mom told her she HAS to go to breathing classes which my sister said she wasn't b/c she doesn't really see the point. Well my mom calls me and asks what I think and I said whatever she decided is fine..I really don't see the point either b/c if I'm pushing a kid out I'm pretty sure I won't remember my breathing rules. Well needless to say she got mad at me b/c I didn't agree with her and she's been doing this about everything.
I understand that there is a lot going on b/w all 3 of her kids getting married in a year and one having a baby but she's gotta step back. She seems to do it to me the most b/c I was the one that was always by her side as a little kid.
Ugghh, it's just so frustraing alwaly arguing with her over stupid stuff...and I'm not a yeller and she that makes it worse. I was wondering if anyone else has this issue and how they deal with it
Re: anyones mom like this?
I think all moms go through something at this phase in their lives and their kids lives. I was the baby and married first; my mom didn't act like she had a hard time accepting it, but she was different in other ways. I think it's a big adjustment for parents, and we can't even begin to understand it.. to us, it's a huge, fun celebration.. to them, it's watching your babies become even more independent.
Kristin, your poor mom - 3 weddings and a baby on the way... just try to cut her a little slack. She's probably just overly emotional.
I've been letting it slide and letting her go off about whatever it is b/c I know this is a lot of her at once but she takes it out on me ALL the time. My mom's always been one to look at the negative of things instead of the good stuff and I try to explain it to her that this is all good stuff.
It's just hard b/c this is an exciting time for me and everytime i talk to her I end up stressed and regretting it all. It's really just how she is and it's getting so hard to deal with. I'm always a positive person and try to look at the good in everything and she's the opposite
